exemplar analysis - japanese buddhist temples

the japanese style of buddhist monastery also followed with the theme of the courtyard determining the spatial heirarchies and overall form.... additionally however in this case is the significance of the pagoda.
 
 
 
the pagoda is the home of sacred texts and artifacts and works on a verticality that emphasises its importance in the overall planning of the precint... this is something interesting in terms that it draws the eye upwards and towards the heavens (enlightenment) not merely inward and introspectively...
