Green architecture from feng shui perspective: the trend of returning to the balance

Feng shui always attaches great importance to harmony and balance; including the balance of Yin - Yang, the balance between Thien - Dia - Nhan and especially the balance of the Five Elements.

The five elements are composed of: Kim, Moc, Thuy, Hoa and Tho; among them, there are mutually related relationships: Aquatic Wood, Carpentry Fire, Earth Fire, Earth, Kim and Kim, and Water. In Hanoi, people have not paid much attention to the balance of elements in the Five Elements. At that time, he was only interested in settling houses with two typical types of houses, four-level houses and 3 - 5-storey apartment buildings.

In terms of Ngu Hanh, apartments are naturally brick walls or large concrete panels; concreted roofs or concrete tunnels, all of Turkey. In the house of course there is a stove and lighting system under Fire. Families who are allocated this apartment often have the opportunity to shop for electrical appliances and they are usually Kim's. Achievement has three main factors: Earth, Fire and Kim. The grounds of these apartments are often few trees and especially lack of water surface. Thus, this type of housing is not enough Marble, lack of harmony and imbalance. Therefore, residents often feel cramped and frustrated.

During the opening, when new urban areas began to form, including adjoining houses and condominiums, starting with Dinh Cong area, followed by Linh Dam in Hanoi. The biggest difference compared to the old apartment is that the number of height increases much, the apartment area is also bigger, the design of apartments with more functional rooms and is a closed apartment with modern amenities. However, the feng shui element is still not different from the old apartment building and mainly still includes the three main elements: Fire, Earth and Kim. Therefore, the common feeling is still frustrated with lamenting "locked between four concrete walls".

In particular, the increasing intensity of work combined with social pressure and especially the global warming, the urban effect has made the Fire planet prosper. On the other hand, the decent life makes families also buy more amenities and modern equipment to make Kim in the apartment stronger. As a result, the conflict between Hoa and Kim became increasingly fierce (because Hoa Khac Kim) increased the pressure on the occupants of the apartment.

The more society develops, the demand for people is higher and the apartment is not only a place to sleep, but residents require it to be a humane and friendly living environment where people have Relieving pressure and regenerating labor. And the development of apartment buildings in recent years is following this trend, with the addition of two core elements in feng shui, Thuy and Moc, becoming the future urban models: Green Architecture!

In green apartments and urban areas, apart from putting greenness in materials and equipment and technical solutions such as environmentally friendly materials, energy-saving devices, water treatment and reuse solutions Waste ..., the investor also pays special attention to the natural green factor, that is green trees and water surface. These constructions are often of low construction density, leaving land for greenery and public spaces. Not only greening on the ground, many buildings are also greening, putting trees inside and on the balconies, on the roof of the building. Normally, according to the birth rule of the Five Elements, Kim carved Moc. But because in the aforementioned works, Carpentry was so prosperous that it was countered to Kim, helping to reduce the negative impact of modern equipment and facilities such as electrical appliances, computers, and listening devices. Look and the electromagnetic waves. In fact, the Fire element can be used to restrict Kim (because the Fire engraved Kim), but this countermeasure often produces a great deal of friction, which will negatively affect the occupants, so use Moc prosperity to counter Kim will be much better.

At the same time with the Moc element of trees, the water element of water is also highly respected. In many projects, in addition to the land for planting trees, the investor also focuses on building rivers and lakes or at least designing swimming pools inside and outside the building, just to create more utilities for residents, and Helps air conditioning, air naturally. This element helps to counteract the overly prosperous Fire element as mentioned above, thereby helping to balance the Five Elements, creating a harmonious environment for humans.

Examples of this trend include Vingroup's urban areas such as Vinhomes Riverside with artificial rivers winding around villas, Vinhomes Times City with Aquarium and water orchestra, or Vinhomes Ocean Park with beaches. artificial sea, bringing the ocean to the city ... And Capital House's projects are greening the walkways of the campus, in the lobby and on the balconies of every apartment, office, helping people to get along. yourself with nature. It is also the ecological urban areas Ecopark, Flamingo Dai Lai Resort, the green buildings Diamond Lotus Riverside, Orchard Garden ... where green space and lakes occupy the leading role.

Although in these projects, constructions, trees and water surface are sometimes external factors, not in private space, but because they are in large numbers, they are very prosperous, thus increasing the Wood and Water properties. , creating a balance of the Five Elements in each apartment. Thereby increasing vitality, helping residents get good energy.

That explains why residents living in buildings, apartments or ecological urban areas always feel comfortable, refreshed spirit, good health, thereby leading to efficient work and a comical life. peace, happiness, success at work.

It can be said that green living is becoming more and more popular and becoming a trend on a global scale to create sustainable, humanistic, people-centered and nature-centered development. That not only has its scientific basis but is also explained by Eastern philosophy and culture, creating the balance and harmony of the Five Elements in feng shui.
