The Feng Shui of Modern Interiors
One of the great misunderstandings in the west with the popularization of “Feng Shui” is its attached limited meaning. Gain firsthand knowledge on how to design a house plan, see before and after photos and discover how to energize a space by adding specific colors and shapes in the living, dining and bedrooms. Today, we will extract the essence of Ancient Feng Shui to empower and complement people in a space. This practice originates from what was referred to as “The Grand Terminus.” It can be difficult to understand Chinese symbolism hidden in the Chi meanings of universal energy combinations. Fortunately, Las Vegas has been open to these design principals. You will see examples of hotels that used Feng Shui in their architectural plans, to express visually and be successful, regardless of the economy. Feng Shui was designed to benefit mankind as organic, green and pure in its deliverables. 0.1 CEU pending. Add to your calendar >> |
