Temple Plans

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find temple layouts, floor plans, or blueprints? I am primarily interested in Chinese Buddhist temples, however, taoist or hindu might also be of interest. Many thanks.

Yes I know that.

So I need to find floor plans, layouts or blueprints for a temple....

Example - you say the "tradtional chinese"....there are several layouts in this category, and different architecture styles as well - Ok Fine - All I am looking for is a floorplan, blueprint, layout, etc. for just one - or any...

I am working on a project (for enjoyment) in creation of 3-D graphics, and I would like to build the interior & exterior of a temple. So I need a starting point.
