Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Pavilion

The Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is a royal fortress located in Suwon, near Seoul, South Korea. It's next to impossible to find any information on the construction of Korean timber structures (in English at least) so it took some digging. Many mistakes were made and had to go off of my imagination for many of the elements. Not sure I like exploding the structure down. Exploding up could be clearer, but I didn't have the confidence to draw the elements hidden by the roof :/ anyway, it was fun - on to new things!
