life force or energy that

Feng Shui, the goal is to
optimize the flow of Qi
in a space to promote
positive energy and
harmony.
Feng Shui Principles
in Architecture

Yin and Yang represents the

dualistic nature of
everything in the universe.
Yin is associated with
qualities like receptivity,
passivity, and darkness, while
Yang is associated with
qualities like activity, light,
and masculinity. Feng Shui
seeks to balance Yin and
Yang energies in a space.
