Document Summary
The central core structural system: a three-dimensional analysis of the five-story. The horyuji pagoda was thought to be primarily supported by a five-story wooden post this has since been proven wrong, inciting disbelief at the structural integrity of pagoda. Pin that locks the pagoda to the ground: had the post actually been connected to the ground, the pagoda would likely have been destroyed by earthquakes (too rigid a connection) Sympodial: branching, structural model: acts as a tree main vertical axis (sympodium) with recursively branching members that extend outward. The formal and structural elements of the pagoda (5) Three primary systems of components : an outer structure. Primary formal arrangement, aesthetic look, and physical enclosure. Perimeter columns, cloud brackets, tie breadths, walls, roofing. None of these elements are directly attached to the core post: the core post, a locking bracket and tie system that connected the previous two together.
