Asian style housing

Description:According to Matthew Korman, the average commoner's home did not change much, even centuries after the establishment of the universal style, such as early 20th century homes, were very similar to late and mid imperial homes in layout and construction. It is misleading to speak of an axis in the Western sense of a visual perspective ordering facades, rather the Chinese axis is a line of privilege, usually built upon, regulating access—there are no vistas, but a series of gates and pavilions. The result is very stunning! The Emperor and the Empress lived in palaces on the central axis of the Forbidden City , the Crown Prince at the eastern side, and the concubines at the back therefore the numerous imperial concubines were often referred to as "The Back Palace Three Thousand". Considerations are also made such that the generally windowless back of the structure faces the north, where the wind is coldest in the winter.
