Modern architecture has become increasingly concerned about the integration and harmony between the natural and built environments. Terms like environmental protection and management, energy conservation, renewable energy, sustainability and ecology have been pouring into our ears on a daily basis. In fact, all these concepts are not new from an ancient Chinese point of view; Feng Shui or more academically, Kan Yu, is exactly the traditional Chinese wisdom aimed at creating harmony between the environment, buildings and people.
 
　　Feng Shui is the philosophy which has influenced traditional building design in China for thousands of years. Based on Scientific Feng Shui for the Built Environment: Fundamentals and Case Studies published in 2011, this enhanced new edition has further taken into account the enhancements and new inputs in theories and applications. 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 and elaborated. On science, other than exploring the new development of particle physics in relation to Feng Shui studies, a totally new approach to numerology and Luo Shu study based on modern linear algebra may bring readers new insight into the possibility of researching Feng Shui mathematically, in addition to the use of spherical trigonometry.
 
　　This book offers a remarkable in-depth view of Feng Shui by integrating the historical theories with scientific explorations and examples of applications. It once again demonstrates that Feng Shui can be studied scientifically, and eventually scientific Feng Shui may become a new field of science in the academic world as well as a professional and orthodox discipline of architectural design for the built environment.

《建筑环境中的科学风水》（扩展新版）内容简介 深度探索空间能量与人类福祉的交汇点 本书汇集了跨越数个世纪的东方智慧与现代科学的严谨分析，旨在为建筑师、室内设计师、城市规划师以及所有关注居住和工作环境质量的人们，提供一套系统、实用的“科学风水”理论与实践指南。我们超越了传统风水术语的神秘表象，深入挖掘其背后隐藏的关于空间布局、能量流动、光线、声学和材料选择对人体生理与心理影响的客观规律。 第一部分：理论基石——古老智慧的现代诠释 本书的开篇部分，致力于解构“风水”这一概念，并将其置于现代科学的框架下进行审视。我们不再仅仅停留在罗盘和方位的讨论上，而是着重于环境心理学、环境生理学和神经美学的基础原理。 1. 空间形态学与生物节律： 详细分析了建筑物的朝向、体量比例、开口（门窗）设计如何影响自然光照的周期性变化。我们引入了昼夜节律（Circadian Rhythm）的概念，阐释了充足且适宜的自然光如何调节人体褪黑素和皮质醇的分泌。章节中将展示如何利用建筑设计来优化早晨的“唤醒光”和傍晚的“放松光”，从而提升居住者的睡眠质量和白天的专注力。 2. 能量流动的物理学基础： 传统的“气”被我们解析为环境中的各种物理能量流——气流、电磁场（EMF）和声波。本章深入探讨了空气动力学在室内空间中的应用，例如如何设计有效的通风路径以避免“死角气流”的产生，以及如何利用建筑材料的物理特性来缓冲或引导外部噪声污染。我们提供了关于如何识别和缓解室内电磁波干扰的实用步骤，特别关注现代智能设备对居住空间的影响。 3. 材质与触觉的潜意识连接： 探讨了材料的纹理、温度和化学构成如何通过触觉和嗅觉影响人的情绪状态。从天然石材的冷接触到木材的温暖共振，再到涂料挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）对呼吸系统的影响，本部分提供了详尽的材料选择指南，强调可持续性、低毒性与感官愉悦度的平衡。 第二部分：实践应用——从宏观规划到微观细节 在建立了坚实的理论基础后，本书的第二部分转向具体的应用场景，提供可操作的工具和评估方法。 4. 选址与场地分析的定量评估： 这一章强调了宏观环境对建筑性能的决定性作用。我们引入了地理信息系统（GIS）工具辅助的风水分析方法，重点关注： 地形影响： 坡度、水文和植被覆盖如何影响微气候和地表能量的积聚与消散。 景观视野学（View Scape Analysis）： 评估窗外视野的开放性、复杂度和视觉焦点对认知负荷的影响。不良视野（如直面高压线塔或密集的硬质景观）如何引发压力反应。 声景规划： 如何利用地形和植被屏障来设计宁静的室外空间，并确保室内背景噪音保持在理想的“白噪音”区间（30-40分贝）。 5. 室内布局的认知科学优化： 重点关注居住者在空间中的移动轨迹和活动区域的效率。 “动线”与认知负荷： 分析了家庭或办公室中主要的交通路径（动线）设计如何影响注意力的分散程度。拥挤或不合理的动线设计会增加潜意识的“路径寻找”压力。 焦点与锚点： 探讨了如何利用视觉焦点（如壁炉、艺术品或精心设计的景观窗）来稳定居住者的感知，并提供安全感和方向感。 隐私与渗透性平衡： 在开放式设计日益流行的今天，如何通过半透明隔断、家具布局和照明层次来创造“可感知但非侵入性”的私密区域，满足人类对领地感的基本需求。 6. 照明设计的能量光谱： 超越简单的“亮不亮”的概念，本书深度剖析了色温（开尔文值）、显色指数（CRI）和光照强度（勒克斯值）在不同功能区域的最佳匹配。例如，在需要精细运动和高精度判断的区域（如厨房操作台或书桌），需要高CRI和偏冷的色温；而在放松和社交区域，则应使用低色温以促进褪黑素分泌。 第三部分：应用前沿——面向未来环境的整合设计 最后一部分展望了科学风水在未来建筑实践中的潜力，特别是与绿色建筑和智能家居系统的集成。 7. 绿色建筑与可持续风水： 探讨了如何在LEED或WELL认证框架下，融入风水原则。重点关注“室内外连接性”——如何通过大型可开启立面、生态中庭和室内绿植墙，最大化自然渗透，从而降低对人工气候控制系统的依赖，同时提升空气质量和居住者的情绪健康。 8. 智能系统与动态环境调适： 介绍如何利用物联网（IoT）传感器和自动化系统，实时监测环境参数（温度、湿度、CO2浓度、光照强度），并根据居住者的生理反馈（如可穿戴设备数据）动态调整照明、通风和温度设置。这使得“风水”从静态的规划转变为动态的、自适应的环境体验。 9. 综合案例分析： 书末附录收录了多个现代建筑项目的案例研究，展示了如何将上述原理应用于实际设计中，包括对原有建筑的改造策略，以及针对不同气候带和文化背景的新建项目的设计决策过程。 本书的目的，是装备读者一套基于证据的工具箱，使他们能够超越传统美学或纯粹的功能主义，创造出真正滋养人心、提升效率、并与自然环境和谐共存的高质量居住和工作空间。它是一本关于如何“设计更好的生活体验”的实用手册。

Preface

　　Readers may have read in our book, Scientific Feng Shui for the Built Environment: Fundamentals and Case Studies, published four years ago, that both Chinese and western cultures have always contemplated the harmony between the mankind and our surrounding environment; the natural environment in ancient times, and the built/natural environment today. Modern architecture has become increasingly concerned about the integration and harmony between the natural and built environments as "green living" seems to be the hottest contemporary topic. Terms like environmental protection and management, energy conservation, renewable energy, sustainability and ecology etc. have been pouring into our ears on a daily basis. In fact, all these concepts are not new from an ancient Chinese point of view; this study in the past was called Feng Shuior Kan Yu more academically, a traditional Chinese wisdom aimed at creating harmony between the environment (both referring to the sky and the earth), buildings and people. It is a philosophy which has influenced traditional building design in China for thousands of years.

　　In the western world, the popular conception of Chinese Feng Shuiis the practice of doing the right thing at the right place, at the right time and with the right style. The original ancient Chinese term for this study was Kan Yu; the term Feng Shuiis (in Chinese historical terms) a relatively recent nomenclature. ôKanö refers to the observations of sky and climate and ôYuö refers to investigations of the landscape and geography. The expression "Feng Shui" was first used in the classic text The Book of Burial published in the Jin Dynasty, some 1,700 years ago. In direct translation, "Feng" simply means wind while "Shui" means water. Our books could certainly tell you the scope of Feng Shuiis much broader, in terms of dimensions of consideration, detailed contents and the methodology.

　　Traditionally, Feng Shuicomprises of two schools, namely the Form School and the Compass School. However, the principles and practices of such important schools of thought are complicated, leading to considerable misunderstanding and confusion. To bring Feng Shuiout of the shadow of superstition, it is essential to use a scientific approach to the study of this controversial subject. Basically, the notion of "Scientific Feng Shui" has two implications: the verification of Feng Shuiprinciples scientifically, or the study of Feng Shuilogically in a scientific way and by using scientific methods.

　　Since 2005, a series of international conferences on Scientific Feng Shuiand the Built Environment had been organized at the City University of Hong Kong and it was moved to Humboldt-University, Berlin, Germany from 2010 onward. The history of development of this series is detailed in this book and you may be surprised that the origin of this series could date back to September of the year 1997 when a Feng Shuiworkshop was held in Brisbane organized by both of us.

　　The aim of the conference series is to provide an international platform for exchanging research findings between scholars in scientific Feng Shui for the benefits of the built environment. In order to reach the worldwide research communities, thirteen high-quality articles selected from the first three years' conference proceedings were compiled into Research in Scientific Feng Shuiand the Built Environment, edited by both of us with additional annotations, and published by City University of Hong Kong Press in 2009. Immediately right after publication, we received concerns from readers that such book is a collection of research articles, and demanding a publication that explains Scientific Feng Shuifrom basic concepts. Such encouraging feedback led to the writing of Scientific Feng Shui for the Built Environment: Fundamentals and Case Studies, also published by City University of Hong Kong Press in 2011 to explain fundamental terms, concepts and theories of different schools of Feng Shui, and to explore the nature of a scientific approach to Feng Shuistudy, illustrated by numerous case studies.

　　Over the past four years, the authors have got some new research findings that could help to strengthen the interest and knowledge of readers. In this enhanced new edition, besides the philosophy and characteristics of science and scientific methods, comparisons of different cultural and architectural styles, case studies, numerology, modern physics, fundamentals of the Form and Compass Schools, there are enhancements and new inputs in theories and applications.

　　In this book, the emphasis is placed on two themes, sustainability and science. New case studies regarding sustainable design as viewed from a Feng Shuiperspective have been added and elaborated. Integrated applications of different architectural models and their associations with Feng Shuiconcepts, illustrated by case studies, are included. On science, something new on recent development of particle physics, e.g., the discovery of Higgs particles, has been added. And a totally new approach to numerology and Luo Shu study based on modern linear algebra may bring readers more insight into the possibility of researching Feng Shuimathematically in a new way, in addition to the use of spherical trigonometry. Something new related to the use of Flying Stars method is also added.

　　It is difficult to prove or verify so many rules and principles in the two schools of thought. Some can obviously be explained by theories of modern environmental science, while others, not so obviously explainable, have to be approached and studied in a logical and consistent manner. Questions on inconsistencies must be raised from time to time and testing must be continuously conducted to get convinced. We wish this new book could once again demonstrate that Feng Shuican be studied scientifically, and eventually scientific Feng Shuimay become a new field of science in the academic world as well as a professional and orthodox discipline of architectural design for the built environment.

　　We would like to thank Dr. Xin Janet GE who supported our works with her expertise in property research and co-authored two chapters of this enhanced new edition. Also thanks are given to Dr. Dominique SUREL, Dr. Kepa MORGAN, Dr. Michael PATON and Prof. Sai On CHEUNG, who patiently read through the draft version of this book and provided their valuable first-hand reviews. Special thanks are due to Prof. Sritawat KITIPORNCHAI who has encouraged our works for many years and provided his insightful foreword for this book.

　　Finally, we have to express our greatest honor to have Mr. Derek WALTERS, a globally renowned Feng Shuiresearcher and practitioner, write a new foreword and also co-author one chapter of this enhanced new edition. In addition, once again, Derek, certainly as the third author behind, did spend hours and hours of his valuable time and effort, in between his busy schedule of concert performances in England and lectures in Russia, tendering his constructive comments and suggestions, and kindly proof-read the whole manuscript of this enhanced new edition.
