风水的门派、理论和科学性——从建筑师观念出发的研究

风水的理论和实践可以归纳为两大门派：形势派和理气派．因为在分析环境方面形势派比理气派更客观一些,因而形势派较为专业人士所认同．形势派以人们对地理特征的实际结构的理解为基础,而且这些原则能被适用于宏观建筑环境方面(例如：城市设计、建筑基地的选择等),以及微观建筑环境方面(例如：建筑物确定方位、室内布置等)．本文研究形势派的风水观念,和介绍形势派的理想的风水模型．以这个模型为例,比较建筑师的设计是否与古代风水理论一致．本文通过介绍同一时间内对悉尼和香港的建筑师们做的一个实际调查,这个调查结果显示现代建筑师对于一个建筑物和室内布置的周围环境的选择通常和两千多年前建立的理想的风水模型不约而同．

The category,theory and science of Feng Shui——a study on architects'''' perception

The theories and practices of Feng Shui can be classified into two major categories namely the Form School and Compass School. Form School has been more recognised by building professionals, as it is more scientific than the Compass School for analysing the built environment. The Form School is based on the understanding of physical configuration of geographical features,and these principles can be applied to both macro (e. g. design of a city,selection of site,etc. ) and micro (e.g. orientation of building,interior layout,etc. ) built environment. This paper explores the Feng Shui concepts under the Form School,and an ideal Feng Shui model is introduced. The model is used for verifying whether the design of architects based on more scientific derivation is likely to be in line with the ancient Feng Shui theories. An empirical survey was conducted with architects in Sydney and Hong Kong,and the results show that the selection of surrounding environment for a building and interior layout as proposed by the architects generally concurs with the ideal Feng Shui model established more than two thousands years ago.
