Caisson: Ancient Ceiling Design of China
Traditional Chinese architecture consists of intricate craftsmanship, durability, beautiful motifs, and stunning details. Caisson, the ancient ceiling architecture of China, is an example that contains these factors. Also known as the spider-web ceiling, Caisson is a sunken panel set into the ceiling with details and carvings. It holds a special place in traditional Chinese architecture, especially visible in theatres, temples, and palace rooms. Generally, one can see the ceilings directly on top of the throne or the main religious statues. Therefore, the ceiling would tell the visitor that the one under it was very important and commanded respect.
