Feng Shui Applications for A Healing Environment Prototype (Paperback)

This book explores the unique merger of eastern design theories with western building methodology. More specifically, it examines Feng Shui principles in the Form School which was synthesized for the design of prototype of cancer treatment facility. For many centuries, Feng Shui has made a significant contribution in design in the eastern world. In western society, the primary premise during the design of built environment involves analysis and interpretation of measurable scientific data. This scientific approach has become a general norm for many designers. Although Feng Shui principles gained popularity in western countries in the last fifteen years, many professionals still view these principles to be lacking in a stable scientific foundation. This book challenges the notion of concept of Feng Shui being based on superstition with limited value in design practice. In addition, it illustrates the potential of combining these eastern philosophies with western principles. The study is generally catered to professionals in Design and Cultural fields who possess interest in Feng Shui theory.
