Chinese Architecture is known for its emphasis on harmony between the structure and its surrounding environment. Traditional Chinese buildings often feature curved rooflines, intricate carvings, and the use of natural materials such as wood and stone. Symbolism and auspicious motifs are also common themes, reflecting the importance of cultural beliefs and values. One of the most recognizable features of Chinese architecture is the use of symmetry and balance, with buildings often designed to have a central axis and balanced arrangements of doors, windows, and roofs. The use of courtyards and gardens is also a hallmark of traditional Chinese architecture, serving as an extension of the indoor space and creating a harmonious connection with nature.
