Description: Feng Shui is a body of ancient Chinese knowledge that aims at creating a harmony between environment, buildings and people. Feng Shui has influenced most traditional building design in China for thousands of years. However, the development of Feng Shui principles and practices are complicated and there is little research into the application of Feng Shui knowledge to the built environment and architectural design. In this introductory chapter, we will outline the development of Feng Shui, review the contemporary studies of Feng Shui by both Chinese and western scholars, and in particular investigate the past, present and future development of scientific research in Feng Shui.
