Feng Shui, the art of Wind and Water, emerged 3,000 years ago in China and gradually evolved over time as new theories and new models were introduced. While its development was driven by the primary needs of survival and defence, it would later be enhanced with concepts relating to culture, philosophy, the climate and the territory. Thanks to the work of Pierfrancesco Ros’ Accademia Italiana di Architettura Feng Shui, Feng Shui has been further expanded with ancient and modern knowledge relating to environmental well-being. Feng Shui Architecture offers the reader project guidelines for use in town planning, architecture, interior design and ecodesign. The first volume examines the key issues of the earth way and the sky way. The second and final volume, produced with the contribution of the Accademia di Psico Architettura, looks at the man way, establishing a global approach to various types of environmental analysis and design for a complete understanding of Holistic Architecture.
Feng Shui is not all about tradition. The integration and harmony between the natural and built environments concerning modern architecture has long been discussed in Feng Shui, or more academically, Kan Yu.

Da loro eredita i principi e l’azione educativa svolta per oltre due secoli, portandoli alle soglie del nuovo millennio. In questo inventario analitico vengono descritte le carte prodotte dal nuovo Istituto. Il nucleo relativo all’educazione femminile è solo una delle materie che questo archivio può offrire: le trasformazioni architettoniche e sociali, le due guerre mondiali, usi e costumi della popolazione danno conto del vasto campo di ricerca offerto e del quadro storico toscano che le carte disegnano in maniera ben definita.
Modern agriculture needs to review and broaden its practices and business models, by integrating opportunities coming from different adjacent sectors and value chains, including the bio-based industry, in a fully circular economy strategy. Searching for new tools and technologies to increase crop productivity under optimal and sub-optimal conditions and to improve resources use efficiency is crucial to ensure food security while preserving soil quality, microbial biodiversity, and providing business opportunities for farmers. Biostimulants based on microorganisms or organic substances obtained from renewable materials represent a sustainable, efficient technology or complement to synthetic c...
