The typical expectation of an architect is that his great looking home causes great happiness. But what they look at is the externals-projecting the home as an achievement of theirs and the client.
This is the level of feng shui that architects find most startling. But it is true that a home that just looks and feels great, can attract tremendous misfortune, even though it "looks" good.
Feng Shui principles are in conflict with architecture of today. Architects love to incorporate angels and odd shapes. When a building or a single room has an odd shape, it makes energy bounce around the room, causing lack of focus, losses and ill health.
The good news is that more and more architects are considering working with feng shui principles, so that the blending of their talents can truly create a superior space-visually, functionally and energetically.
Architects should believe that elevation in life is more important than the elevation of the building.
