What are the mathematical elements in national architecture?

Some mathematical elements in national architecture are as follows:

The traditional architecture of ethnic minorities in China also contains many mathematical applications. Miao architecture is mainly stilt architecture, and the structural form between every two purlins (lǐn) is called "one-step frame". Miao Ju combines the structural modulus of "stepped frame" with the digital mode of "eight", which can adjust its expansion and contraction in any direction in plane space to meet various needs.

In addition, there are many mutually perpendicular structures with Miao characteristics in Fengyu Bridge. For example, columns and squares are perpendicular to each other, and the structure of bridges is symmetrical. So designers can calculate the proportion everywhere in the design.

The ancients were able to create rich curve shapes without 3D printing and parametric software, and one of the most important mathematical foundations was sequence. This idea is called overlapping in the architectural history of China. Lapping is an ancient masonry construction method, which is picked out or put in by overlapping layers, and bears the weight of the upper layer when picking out.

Overlapping method is mainly used for early overlapping arch, brick tower eaves, Sumeru mountainside, roof eaves and so on. , and common in brick towers, stone towers, brick tombs and other buildings.

In ancient Chinese architecture, there is a saying about the design of curved roof form, that is, "lifting and folding system" A careful study of the "lifting and folding system" shows that every folding of the roof curve is a regular numerical change on the basis of its "previous folding".

Mongols-yurts:

Mongolian yurts, traditional houses of nomadic people such as Mongolia. In ancient times, it was called treasury, also called felt tent, tent and felt bag. Mongolian is called Geer and Manchu is called Mongolian yurt or Mongolian blog. The residence created by this nomadic people to adapt to nomadic life is easy to disassemble and assemble, which is convenient for nomadism.
