ABSTRACT
In recent years, both architects and psychologists have become more aware that the way people sense and move through space affects how they feel and think. When looking for ways to describe this connection, many have turned again to ideas found in traditional Feng Shui. Although its origins are ancient, Feng Shui can still be read as a reflection on how human life adapts to the environment rather than as a set of mystical prescriptions. Its central belief—that people and nature work best in balance—links closely to the modern search for physical ease and mental calm. If we place the notion of qi, the living energy discussed in Feng Shui, beside the idea of “perceptual feedback” from environmental psychology, the resemblance is striking [Ulrich 1983]. The present paper explores this relationship by studying six interior design projects completed by students and translating Feng Shui principles into indicators that can be tested and compared in psychological terms.
