Produktbeschreibung
For several centuries it was believed that architecture has a direct influence on the physical & psychological health of the users, by affecting the energy field around the body. Therefore many rules & patterns were established in traditional societies based on the experiences of generations dealing with the built space, including Feng Shui. Although the existence of this energy field is scientifically proven in complementary science, medicine & biology, it is not being widely discussed in the field of architecture. Thus Feng Shui still to be seen as superstition. The concept of cardinal directions & directional energies, as one of the main concepts of Feng Shui, has been influential in determining the direction of the main door, windows & placement of furniture inside the house. The belief implies that auspicious directions promote health, while the inauspicious directions bring bad luck & disease. This research, has employed a sequential mixed-methods approach using Acugraph & Pranic Scanning, to measure the size of the energy field around the body, & explore the reason behind auspiciousness of Feng Shui directions & to further examine if such impact is objective or subjective.
