Fig. 21:
Preliminary reconstruction of the Medical College on Chakpori, Lhasa

Plan of Main Hall
Research and drawing by Knud Larsen
2009

This first attempt at a reconstruction was presented at the IATS-seminar in Vancouver 2010. As later established the measurements of the main building are wrong. The tower was wrongly supposed to be situated inside a square prayer hall. The small, square stupa south of the buildings is in fact not situated in the centre axis of the Prayer hall but more towards east.
