lóu (traditional Chinese architecture) (loft buildings, <single built works by design>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Lou is generally understood to mean a multi-story building (two stories or more) or a loft-building (Kroll 2015, 281) elevated on a terrace or city wall. Historically, lou as a type of traditional architecture usually designates a building elevated either by means of multiple stories or man-made or natural platforms. The Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 CE) classic Shuowen jiezi defines lou as a structure with a layered wu 屋 (a roof, or a roofed structure).

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 傳統中國建築中，樓為憑藉多層結構或地勢從而具有高聳特點的建築形式。東漢《說文解字》中對於樓的定義提出“樓，重屋也”，這从概念上解釋了樓是一種“屋”作為基本單位垂直疊加的建築形式。 |
