Characteristics of Southeast Asian Style Architecture

Southeast Asian style is good, very unique style, elegant and beautiful, I like it very much. This paper will discuss the characteristics of Southeast Asian style architecture in depth to help readers better understand this architectural style.

The roof design is unique.

The roof is heavily tilted in order to drain water as soon as possible. And the roof is layered, sometimes nine or ten. At the corner of the eaves, there is a curly snake. On the edge of the eaves, there are rows of decorations like willows. On both sides of the roof, there are curved pointed decorations.

The building structure is very light.

Although the roofs of buildings in Southeast Asia are complex, they are very light compared with those in China. The key is to lose a lot of beams and columns.

The porch is beautifully decorated.

Under the eaves is a large porch with high pillars.
