Philosophical Questioning of Architecture

The main task of architecture is to create relevant spaces for people for determined functions. Together with the factors mentioned above, aspects like the culture, social behaviour patterns and lifestyle, as well as materials, production techniques and structural systems, are also causes of the ever-changing nature of architecture, just like life itself. Throughout this continuous evolution and change, architecture has had as its primary objective the creative organisation of materials and forms. This creative process is ultimately part of a mutual relationship with the aforementioned parameters. Feng Shui, on the other hand, is closely relative to the natural environment ¿ a relationship based on the empirical observation of the land form consistent with the flow of chi (living energy) in nature to achieve well-being. The aim of this study is to interpret the aspects of ¿living well¿ in created architecture from the Feng Shui perspective to enhance the quality of living and contribute to the well-being of humans on a scientific basis.
