This structural&nbsp;engineering is considered to have likely been affected and developed by the climate,&nbsp;weather and geological condition of Angkor area. In addition, although a basic method of&nbsp;plan layout is hierarchical axiality and symmetrical arrangement, a central axis of a monument&nbsp;is slightly shifted from that of its’ site in a conscious way. This declination can be&nbsp;considered as an arrangement to harmonize composition elements by placing historical and&nbsp;new values in the two axes: the central axis of the site representing traditional cultures as a&nbsp;sacred land, and that of the monument representing a new culture coming from the outside&nbsp;as an architectural style. Thus, Angkor monuments have such remarkable characteristics of&nbsp;harmonization among natural climate, native tradition and new cultures, and this tendency&nbsp;can also be seen commonly in cultural heritage in Hue, Vietnam and Japan. Furthermore,&nbsp;those, which have been formed in sub-margin cultures as a result of long succession of&nbsp;selective influences caused by moderate distance from cores-Asiatic ancient civilizations-India and China, are considered to have significance in the process of a world history after&nbsp;the modern period.</p> ER -
