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 for those who care about their daily living environment in general--especially those who practice architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oro Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45149038706839,"sku":"9781943532759","price":2036.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781943532759.webp?v=1767657854","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ideal-landscapes-the-deep-meaning-of-feng-shui-patterns-of-biological-and-cultural-genes-9781943532759","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
