exemplar analysis - himalayan buddhist temples

in my exemplar research i came across this wonderful pdf which immediately falls into line with my analysis of monastery typologies around the world...

at a glance there is one huge element that draws parallels... the courtyard


it seems as though, at this very early stage of research - there is an attachment to this internal - external spatial arrangement that causes those within it to achieve a heightened sense of enlightenment.

intriguing... the courtyard (in planning sense again) holds more impact then the key building - in this case the pagoda...
