AbstractThis paper analyses the connective architectures of the rock monasteries of the kingdom of Kuča. This term is herein used to describe the structures that link the various units, caves, groups, districts, of a rock monastery. Such structures include: antechambers, stairways, tunnels, paths and courtyards. Examination of these connective architectures shows these rock monasteries to be well-planned and fully functional religious settlements. Their presence indicates the way in which the different units of each cave monastery were physically and symbolically linked. In addition to analysing the types of connective architecture extant, this paper also considers the ways in which more theoretical approaches can applied build a greater understanding of how these rock monasteries functioned. Lastly, building on the data taken from the rock monasteries of the kingdom of Kuča, this paper considers the applicability of the concept of connective architecture to other Buddhist monasteries.
