Abstract
This research aims to understand the classification and distribution of the composition and decoration of intermediate parts of historical architecture in the Eurasian region. In this research, the intermediate parts are defined as the part between the beams and the columns that include the capital and the joinery parts. The composition was classified according to the visual forms, while the decoration Was classified according to the embroider design. As a result, we were able to classify eight groups for both the composition and the decoration. We further carried out classification based on the tendency of regional distribution where by we were able to obtain four major groupings of the intermediate parts. The research was able to establish that apart from the influence of regional materials, the development and distribution of the intermediate parts had a great religious influence.
