Feng Shui, a Chinese ancient art, devised to define the best positions for the tombs of emperors, studies the relationship that exists between places and the human beings that inhabit them. Over millennia Feng Shui practice has evolved, becoming an important reference for the construction and planning of buildings, government buildings, monuments, and entire cities.

For the first time in Italy, Feng Shui and Environmental Sustainability will be discussed in the light of both Oriental and Western knowledge of architecture, design and town planning.

For three days, Masters of Feng Shui - from all over the world, afficionados, architects, designers and city planners, will study closely the principles employed in the Far East and compare them to the modern discipline of Environmental Sustainability.

But, just what is the relationship between Environmental Sustainability and Feng Shui? The answer is implied in the variables that have always been central to the process of urbanisation: territory, man and climate. So the various practices of Feng Shui and Environmental Sustainability have become essential instruments in the establishment of balance between environment & nature and environment & man: this defines architecture not as the imposition of man onto nature, but rather as a visible harmony between the two.

The “mission” of the Conference is to create an international platform for the diffusion of a culture of quality living which combines the ancient wisdom of Feng Shui with Western knowledge, from Geomancy to Environmental Sustainability.
