When I create a new case study for my online case study club, I get more and more excited about the amount of content that I have to cover and how enjoyable it is to delve deeply into topics that I normally only highlight in an introduction class or in this newsletter. This excites me because there is a lot of material that I have to cover, and I have a lot of material that I have to cover. Many of the case studies will focus on oddly shaped buildings, both residential and commercial ones, and how the residents of such buildings might be particularly impacted by those buildings. The form of a building will influence the movement of chi, also known as air currents, in a certain manner, which may or may not be beneficial. In feng shui philosophy, there are rules that outline what constitutes a balanced environment and what kinds of forms will facilitate a smooth flow of chi as opposed to an irregular flow. A room that is persistently out of balance will lead to either bad health, strained relationships, or financial difficulties, or all three. I have examined residences that are u-shaped, t-shaped, l-shaped, v-shaped, and h-shaped, to mention just a few examples. I have also examined spherical constructions and triangular buildings. I have also investigated locations that were so peculiar that they could not even be classified in the manner that were just stated. I simply referred to one of my most remember homes as the “bow tie” house. It is not true that a home has bad feng shui qualities just because it has an odd form simply because of the shape alone. There are those that can yet find other ways in which they may redeem themselves, and with the help of an experienced eye, some of the strangely shaped homes can be split down into portions that are in fact extremely sturdy. An L-shaped home, for instance, is basically simply two rectangles that have been joined to one another in some way. Aside from the difficulty presented by the case-by-case process of splitting up oddly shaped buildings into their respective directional sectors, the orientation of an oddly shaped home or building may not be immediately apparent. For instance, whether side of a circular structure should be considered the front or the back? or a structure in the form of a triangle? It’s only that structures with strange forms aren’t as straightforward as those with the standard square or rectangle shape. In addition, a structure could take on an unusual form after it has been altered by repairs or extensions. This is especially possible with older buildings. The practitioner of feng shui must next decide whether the oddly shaped home caused by extensions should be seen as one cohesive unit or as several, each with its own directional grid and orientation. This decision must be made before the house can be properly analyzed for feng shui. In a good many of the topics that we go over in the Feng Shui Case Study Club, I will be focusing on this kind of problem-solving. A practitioner of feng shui can discern the direction in which qi flows and the orientation of oddly shaped buildings if they have had professional instruction.
