Introduction • Architecture as a field is just as regional as it is global. To put it simply, architecture forms a huge part of any culture. Even in our country, architecture plays a key role for culture, religions, beliefs to represent their history and present. Not only that, architecture also serves as a useful resource for humans to be able to decode the past and the lives of their ancestors. All these factors and more combine make architecture a cultural component which often changes across regions and nations.
Apart from the cultural factor, there is practicality to the variation of architecture across different regions. Geographically, each region has different needs, demands and common practices according to which their architecture takes shape. Together, all these factors give rise to architectural styles that are representative of a particular region or place, each unique with its own norms, techniques, characteristics and even materials. One such style is the traditional Oriental architecture. Originating in China, Oriental architecture spans in influence across the East Asian region being anative style of that region. Oriental style is representative of the culture, the techniques, the knowledge and the needs of the East Asian with respect to architecture. The oriental style to this day is a prominent influence and has rather inspiring characteristics to look upto.
