Abstract
The Bracket Set (dougong) is an important aspect of traditional Chinese architecture known for its exquisite structure, complexity, and rich variations. This design element has been used since the Qin and Han Dynasties and is still prevalent today. It highlights hierarchy and spiritual connotations in the design of a building. This article explores the application of Bracket Set elements in modern architectural design. It analyzes the specific application strategies of this design element, highlighting its value in modern architecture. The goal is to provide modern architectural designers with multiple perspectives and strategies to fully utilize the advantages of Bracket Set elements in architectural design and enhance the artistic value of their work.
