大汉坛建筑主体为钢结构，外饰装饰混凝土挂板、平面为四方“坛城”式布局，东西99米、总高19米，用适宜的尺度、简洁的造型、加之45°倾角，抽象而写意的概括了汉代文化的拙朴大美与震撼厚重，不仅深层次的表达了应有的场所意境也成为江苏丰县汉皇祖陵文化景区内重要的精神符号,是一座集汉代文化展示与楚汉文化体验于一体的文化类建筑。方形的平面与顶部的圆形构图，表现了天圆地方的朴素哲学概念，土黄色仿夯土肌理的外饰，点缀灰白色汉代纹样肌理，虚实相生，大道至简。华夏民族、独步银翰！大汉坛建筑设计昭示着这种文化自信与文化自觉。

The main building of the Great Han Temple is a steel structure, whose exterior is decorated with concrete hanging plate, and its plane surface is a square “mandala” layout, 99 meters from east to west, with a total height of 19 meters, appropriate scale, simple style and 45° inclination angle. All of these abstractly and freehandly generalize the simplicity, unpretentious beauty and shocking richness of the Han culture, not only embodying all the scene artistic conception at a deep level, but making the building become an important spiritual symbol in the cultural scenic spot of the Han Emperor’s Ancestral Tomb in Feng County, Jiangsu as well. It is a cultural architecture integrating Handa, Chu and Han culture. The square plane and the circular composition at the top show the simple philosophical concept of square earth and spherical heavens. The exterior decoration of the earthy yellow imitating the texture of rammed earth is dotted with the gray-white Han Dynasty pattern texture. The virtual and real coexist, and the avenue is simple. Chinese nation, unique in in the world! The architectural design of the Great Han Temple declares this kind of cultural self-confidence and cultural consciousness.
