This is a book about ideal landscapes and Feng-Shui and explores the origin, structure, and meanings of Feng-Shui in juxtaposition to the ideal landscape models in Chinese culture.
This is a book about ideal
landscapes and Feng-Shui. Using evolutionary and anthropological
approaches, Peking University professor Kongjian Yu - who holds a
doctorate degree in Design from Harvard - explores the origin,
structure, and meanings of Feng-Shui in juxtaposition to the ideal
landscape models in Chinese culture. Using illustrative site
observations and literature, Yu argues that Feng-Shui landscapes share
similar structures with other Chinese ideal landscapes - the
implications of which are deconstructed into terms of geography,
anthropology, ecology, and philosophy.
As a landscape architect
and urbanist, Professor Yu respects the role of Feng-Shui in the making
of places, yet still is in opposition to its superstitious nature. Well
illustrated and poetically written, this book is a must-read for those
who are interested in Feng-Shui, as well as those who care about their
daily living environment - especially those who practice architecture,
landscape architecture, and urbanism.
