Making & Constructing Dougong Brackets with Assistant Professor Sheri Lullo

Faire: Electric City

Maker: Sheri Lullo (Union College Visual Arts)

Home: New York, United States

Sheri Lullo is using 3D Printing to create reproductions of traditional Chinese wood structures. Load-bearing timber-framed structures with dougong bracketing are emblematic of traditional Chinese architecture, and their design, construction and variation are prominent themes of Professor Lullo’s course, AAH 204: Chinese Architecture. This project focuses on dougong brackets, a distinguishing feature of traditional palaces, temples and dwellings. Evidenced as early as the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), they are important structural elements made of dou (wooden blocks) and gong (bow-shaped arms or brackets) that serve to support the weight of the roof and to hold all components of the building together.
