內(nèi)容概要
This book demonstrates clearly that ancient Chinese principles of feng shui are not just compatible with good architectural and interior design--but that the two may be carefully engineered to be mutually sup- portive on many different levels. Presented here are some of the most interesting and beautiful homes and interiors designed along feng shui principles in both Asia and the West to enhance the wellbeing and prosperity of those who use them. The beauty of this book lies not just in itsdepictions of energizing living environ- ments, but in the heightened awareness and appreciation that it brings of how feng shui can be made to work when designing highly functional and attractive contempo- rary living spaces. The feng shui techniques covered include simple Eight Mansion feng shui, the placement of Water Dragons, inte-rior and exterior furnishings and align- ments, and the calculation of intricate Flying Star charts. Examples range from the grand 19th century mansion belonging to one of the last and richest mandarins of Imperial China, via the timeless Balineseluxury of Begawan Giri, to the latest and most exciting Philippe Starck designed environments in London, each showinghow the timeless concepts and techniques of feng shui are used to enrich, harmonize, and stimulate.

編輯推薦
From Booklist Mitchell focuses on celebrating the aesthetic and metaphysical wonders that come together in garden settings. Nature's gifts inspire Mitchell's passion to share ways of looking to our gardens in every season to energize, nurture, and provide solace. Gardening tasks are integrated with references to and an examination of esoteric festivals, traditions, and myths associated with flora. Mitchell also presents a number of meditations to help guide the reader to a harmonious and tranquil state of being. An especially engaging segment is devoted to color, complete with a plant list keyed to various symbols and healing, for an inspired and inspiring slant on selecting plant material for a garden sanctuary.
