This is a practical guide showing architects how to assess and apply the principles of authentic feng shui. Providing easy access to serious technical information, this pocket book enables architects to benefit from the valuable principles of this proven art and avoid its eccentric reputation. Authentic feng shui can match structures and land with uncanny precision, and affords a peculiar capacity to forecast development-related problems including cost overruns and even trade disputes! This book demonstrates how to apply the harmonizing forms of this ancient practice through planning principles, natural features, services, building elements and materials. Using evidence from archaeological sources and genuine practice in the east, the author analyses feng shui through concepts such as western systems theory, evolutionary and behavioral psychology, viewshed and space syntax, and explains its profound abilities for creating sustainable design.
