I recently came across this interesting article about the emerging trend of incorporating Feng Shui course into the tertiary education and thought it will be interesting to share it with you…
As an architect, this was the question I had in mind when I was exposed to Feng Shui for the first time – is it a science or a superstition? I reckon if you want to call something a science, it has to be logical and make sense. This is the Newtonian approach that our education system has trained us to be.
I am glad that the Feng Shui subject is slowly finding its way into the education system especially in the architectural field. Wouldn’t it be good if the architects of the future design their projects around Feng Shui – providing harmony between the home and the environment? This would at least help to take some stress off the hectic pace of life that we are currently in.
China has taken the lead to include Feng Shui course for their architecture students. Will others follow? Enjoy the article.

It is true that FengShui as a subject had been lucrative. 2009 will see more masters traveling across to Malaysia to teach. Perhaps we shared the same sentiment as Architects that such were supposed to be in the subject. I met Evelyn Lip when I was in NUS, doing a course in Architecture, but was quite taken aback that she concentrates more on symbolism instead. So, FengShui as a subject in Architecture would have to wait a bit longer until all the masters are properly fed, first.
Looking forward to your blog.
