- Description
- Feng Shui is the Chinese wisdom in knowledge and experience related to the built environment, which has accumulated over more than three thousand years. It has been developing throughout the existence of Chinese history and civilization, and has evolved from Chinese philosophy. It is founded from the earliest and greatest philosophy document of Chinese, Yi jing (The Book of Changes) that developed ca. 800 BC. As Feng Shui has been practiced in China for such a long time, the development of Feng Shui principles and practices are indeed very complicated. Despite that, there is a lack of research into the application of Feng Shui knowledge to the built environment, and little has been done to capture the Feng Shui knowledge in a systematic manner. This chapter presents the development of a conceptual framework of Feng Shui knowledge for building design evaluation. Firstly, fundamental concepts of the Form School approach are derived to provide a broad understanding of the Feng Shui knowledge. Secondly, a hierarchical structure of Feng Shui knowledge for building design evaluation is established. Finally, a conceptual framework is constructed based on the concepts of the Form School approach and the hierarchical structure of Feng Shui knowledge.
