Fig. 32:
Experimental reconstruction of the Medical College on Chakpori, Lhasa


Cross-section B / North-South
Research and drawing by Knud Larsen
2015

This is, for the time being, the final attempt at a reconstruction. It was presented at the IATS-seminar in Bergen, Norway 2016. To the left is shown a section of the entrance-/kitchen building with its two levels and interior stairs. In the main building on the basement level the section shows how the rock supporting the tower partly fills up much of the storage space for medicine plants. On the main level the section shows to the left the print shop and to the right the storage room for thangkas. In between is seen the toilets.
