Abstract

This study explores the idea of harmony as a relevant one for contemporary design, in particular for sustainable design which concerns the relationship between building and environment. Chinese Feng-Shui directly engages the idea of harmony and offers potential for architectural design to reach the balance between man, man-made and nature.
