Function of the forbidden city

All of the cultures that we have looked at this week built architectural monuments, but few have survived intact. Often these monuments embody the social, spiritual, political and religious ideas of the culture that created it. One of the few to have survived isthe Forbidden City in Beijing, China. In 3 well developed paragraphs, discuss:

1. What was the function of the Forbidden City?

2. How was it designed to reflect the social hierarchies of the Ming dynasty?

3. What other monumental work of architecture did you learn about this week that also reflects these concerns and how?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.
