I've always admired designs such as these, but admit I don't understand the utility of it. Is it purely decorative or is it structural or both?

[@888831596]

In terms of Japanese architecture, this kind of structure serves both structural and decorative function, it will also provide flexibility against earthquakes. You can also find the same elements in Chinese architecture, but after the Ming dynasty (ca.1600), the scale of it shrunk, and serves more as a decorative feature.

South Korea lacks creativity and technology！haha

[@MrSubliminalStudios]

Korea thinks that the best way to get people to shop at your store is to make the building look like a gift box. That’s the result of all of the gobbledygook fish head pigeon chatter that goes on upstairs
