Read the riverbank, roof and threshold twice: first the visible structure, then its connection with people and use.

1. Riverbank: describe the boat, bank and hills separately. What is directly visible, and what does the UNESCO account tell you about the two rivers? Keep photograph date and historical period separate.

2. Roof: sketch or describe one change of height in the roof. Name the sim and the wider wat separately. Which source helps explain the other spaces in a monastic compound?

3. Threshold: compare the umbrella ribs and floor beams. Write one observation about material, then one sourced statement about Heuan Chan's interpretive use. What cannot this single detail establish?

4. Living heritage: compare Heuan Chan and TAEC. Record one role for a building and one role for people or transmitted skills. Add the source and its date where available. How do ponds and wetlands widen your idea of what a town preserves?
