The Feng-shui of Building Characteristics

The Feng-shui of Building Characteristics

The Building Characteristics branch of feng-shui studies the flow of energy within a structure, where it is carried in architectural features, exterior and interior.Exterior FeaturesThe feng-shui practitioner evaluates a building's overall shape using three main criteria: Stability Generally, a building's shape is thought of as stable if none of the levels is significantly larger than the others and if the structure doesn't rest on pillars.Balance A building is said to be balanced if it has a regular (i.e., symmetrical) shape.

Smoothness A building is said to be smooth if it has no harsh, protruding features, whether vertical or horizontal. Houses shaped like triangles and those with knifelike edges also lack smoothness.A building's appearance is also evaluated according to the principle of "resemblance." Buildings that resemble prisons, fortifications, and weapons are undesirable, as are buildings that appear to be falling down, burning, or getting chopped up.
