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.

Emphasis is placed on two themes, sustainability and science. New case studies regarding sustainable design as viewed from a Feng Shui perspective, and integrated applications of different architectural models and their associations with Feng Shui concepts are added ...

L'effimera tenda del nomade e la costruzione radicata nella terra dei nostri avi hanno in comune qualcosa di essenziale: sono comunque forme dell'abitazione entro la quale scorre la vita umana. Anche per questo in essa sono racchiusi tutti gli elementi del nostro esistere. Roberto Pinetti ci propone di guardare la casa con gli occhi della psiche. Ma osservare l'anima della casa, per scoprire i misteri ancora celati della nostra anima, comporta dialogare con gli infiniti significati cui ci rimanda. È un viaggio attraverso la psicologia dei simboli, quello proposto dall'autore che, pur desiderando confrontarsi con psicologi e terapeuti, si rivolge a chiunque possa scoprirsi curioso di sé e di come il luogo in cui abitiamo ci descrive. L'intento è anche quello di entrare in dialogo con l'architetto, il progettista o altre figure professionali che si occupino di abitazioni, offrendo una chiave di lettura che possa proporre una visione ancora più ampia e profonda del loro operare.
