7. Feng Shui In Modern Architecture
from:Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophy that comes from the ancient years. It means wind and water, as these two elements are very important for the rules and principles of the Feng Shui philosophy. Water represents wealth and wind represents direction. Its practice dates back to several centuries and was introduced as a need to combine the myths of the Chinese culture with philosophy. The basic idea of Feng Shui is the direction and location, something that has proved to be very helpful in architecture and interior design today. Let’s see some of the basic elements of Feng Shui in modern architecture.
Feng Shui focuses on a well appointed and neat environment. People should arrange their things in such as way so as to bring convenience and comfort to their lives. The basic rules they should follow when designing and building a house are:
The main entrance - A large and wide path from the street should lead to the main entrance, because that can encourage the accumulation of positive energy. According to some beliefs, the main entrance should not be directly connected to the street because the path between the door and the street allows you to think and acknowledge that you are entering a friendly personal space. This can help you relax and unwind much faster, especially after a long and stressful day.
The main door – The entrance should open to a large room. Avoid placing the door to a corner and do not build a wall directly in front of the door. The area in front of the main entrance should be clean and free of clutter and should be adequately lit and bright – preferably by natural light.
The living room - This is the most popular part of the house and the focal point of every home. Having a spacious and bright living room is a must, although the most important rule it to keep it clean and orderly. The flow of energy in the living room is of significant importance. Do not create a living room that is surrounded or enclosed by large walls, but try to incorporate wide openings and try to establish communication with other rooms. Avoid too many walls and doors in the house. It’s better to have larger surfaces than smaller ones, limited by doors and walls. Energy cannot flow uninterrupted when there are too many rooms.
Kitchen – The kitchen is the room that represents nutrition and health. It is supposed to be open and feature an exit to an open space, therefore a balcony or patio should be in close proximity. Kitchen should allow you to exit to the open space directly.
Bedroom - The bedroom is the second most important room in the house after the living room. It reflects concentration and relaxation. When building the bedroom make sure that you create a large and solid wall that will allow you to place the bed, without being in alignment with the toilet or bathroom and stairs.
