Architecture
in Vietnam
Before
the French invasion, Chinese architectural styles were copied with traditional
Vietnamese buildings (temples or official buildings) being composed of wood,
usually with elaborate carvings, and tile roofs. The floors consist of
either packed earth or tile. Basically, the building (house or other
structure) has four main posts/pillars which are the supports for the
roof. The walls are not necessarily functional as support for the roof
(the posts do this) but are comprised of bricks, bamboo, wood or bast fiber
mats.
The roof supports vary according to the structure size and are put
together by shafts, dowels or wooden pegs. All buildings are basically the
same structure, just larger or smaller according to their purpose, with no basic
structural difference between a home or temple (with an exception being a
village's community house).
