[[alternative]]A Study of The Effects of the Traditional concept of Feng-Shui To the modern Engineering Behavior.
No full text[[abstract]]This research discusses about Feng-Shui and its effect to interior design. The study focuses on the related concepts and attitude toward general people. The researcher applies several analyses, including average, standard deviation, and variance analysis to the answers retrieved from subjects participating in the survey of "Relevant Attitude toward Feng-Shui and Engineering Behavior."
The analyses are proceeded in both the overall and separated layers' prospect. The results are as following:
1. To general people, there is no difference between gender and the degree of being influenced by the concept of Feng-Shui.
2. To general people, the cognitive attitude toward Feng-Shui develops when they age.
3. The higher education general people get, the more cognitive attitude toward Feng-Shui they have.
4. The concept of Feng-Shui shows no relevant difference among the Catholics, the Christians, or atheists while it relevantly influences people who believe in the folk religion, Taoism, or Buddhism.
5. People who ask Feng-Shui are relevantly influenced by the concept of Feng-Shui.
Our disappearing heritage: Hong Kong's fung shui woodland
No full textThis dissertation is about an important area in the discipline of architectural conservation, and it is cultural Landscape, defined as the combination of built and natural heritage resources. The understanding of the concept of “cultural landscape” is relatively new to Hong Kong, having been formally introduced by Dr. Ken Nicolson in 2002 as part of the syllabus of the postgraduate curriculum of HKU’s Architectural Conservation Programmes (ACP). Today, the people of Hong Kong are more aware of cultural landscape, and the term now appears in government documents. However, the concept has been with Hong Kong for a long time, expressed in the principles of fung shui. Many of Hong Kong’s cultural landscapes are influenced by fung shui and a common feature is fung shui woodland, which will be the focus of this dissertation.
Fung shui is a belief system and a traditional form of landscape planning, and villages in Hong Kong and their woodlands are sited according to the principles of fung shui. The purpose of fung shui is clearly described in Yoon (1980). He stated that the aim of Fung Shui, is to maximize the wellbeing of human by maintaining the harmony between human and the nature. It is believed that all matter on the earth; both living and non-living things carry Qi or cosmic breath, which are responsible for ensuring posterity and vitality. Either insufficient or excessive Qi would result in decline and misfortune.
In “Venturing Fung Shui Woods (2004)”, it is mentioned that some of the oldest fung shui woodlands in Hong Kong date back to more than 300 years. Fung shui woodland is an important element of rural Hong Kong cultural landscapes representing our traditional belief system and high cultural significance. The author also describes fung shui woodlands as like a living herbarium or plant museum, offering valuable resources for both academic research and nature conservation. A review of the recent literature on fung shui woodland, in Fung Shui View (2012), the authors explain the value of the fung shui woodland is not only in terms of ecological, but also social. From the above publication, it is clear that the fung shui woodland is one of the important cultural landscape elements in Hong Kong, which illustrates our tradition cultural beliefs and the important value of original village settlements.published_or_final_versionConservationMasterMaster of Science in Conservatio

Khwamchua ruang Feng-shui thi wang na
No full textIn this article, the author argues that the Second King's palace, widely known in Thai as ""wang na"", was decorated with several stone lion statues because of the belief in Feng-shui --a system of spirit influences for good and evil believed by the Chinese to attend the natural features of landscape. The statues were assumed to help preventing natural disasters, as the palace was located on the river shore
America, China and Taiwan: Three Challenges for Chen Shui-bian
No full textThis study analyzes several of the major challenges that the Taiwanese government will confront during President Chen Shui-bian\u27s second term of office. These include serious strains in relations with the US, a continued deterioration in ties with the People\u27s Republic of China (PRC) and increased political polarization, ethnic division and gridlock at home. The author suggests that, while these problems are certainly formidable, they should not be exaggerated. Nor should they be attributed solely to one politician or political cam
RE-MADE (IN) HONG KONG: Co-(Shop)housing: People's alternative approach to redevelop Tin Shui Wai New Town
No full textIn the future scenario 5 years from now, the Hong Kong government decided to help gentrify the whole Hong Kong cities, so decided to demolish all the public housing in Hong Kong and relocate the underprivileged people to “Hong Kong Land” in Mainland China. Tin Shui Wai New Town will be developed once again trying to get rid of the negative image with the gentrification approach of the government to private housing estates. The Right to the City is questioned. Who own the city? Who has the right to the city? In the process of demolition of Tin Shui Wai, protestors occupy the deconstruction site and start their own version of redevelopment. People should be protected to live in their original living place. People should have the right to make decision on their living environment. This project touches on a lot of important aspects happening in Hong Kong, including urban renewal, resident’s right to the land, resettlement, self-building, etc. What is the people’s approach to redevelopment? How to empower the people? A people’s version of redevelopment will be the centre of the project. This is a housing project, by researching the transformation of housing typology in Hong Kong and co-housing projects in Europe. A new typology, Co-(Shop)housing is developed. By combining the characteristics of the South-east Asian Shophouse typology and that of the cohousing neighborhood typology, a new housing typology which fits the culture with the introduction of community decision making in the building and maintainence process is being introduced.Design as PoliticsArchitectureArchitecture and The Built Environmen
