12. Influences of Chinese Style :
Feng shui:
Feng shui is an ancient philosophy or discipline that examines the sites of cities and buildings, and determines the desirable arrangement of interior space to reach harmony by affecting the flow of energy. In the view of feng shui, man is part of nature.
Feng shui depends on polarity , or opposites. In Chinese philosophy, opposites are identified as yin yang, a concept that originated in the fourth century BC.

14. What is Yin Yang?
Based on the observation of the universal energy of the earth, the ancient Chinese believed that everything in the universe was produced by changes, which resulted from the balancing of yin and yang.
feng shui practitioners analyzed landscape and interiors by considering the relationship between yin and yang.
Yin and yang are not opposing forces (dualities), but complementary forces, unseen (hidden, feminine) and seen (manifest, masculine), that interact to form a greater whole, as part of a dynamic system.
Everything has both yin and yang aspects as light could not be understood if darkness didn't exist, and shadow cannot exist without light.

16. Why I choose Ying Yang as my concept??
The concept of yin and yang describes the basic relationship, which feng shui uses to express the ideal that man and nature can be and should be in harmony.
Thus, it is argued that design with feng shui principles follows natural law, and can help to accumulate a good energy field, and eventually improve the life cycle of nature.
how to apply the Ying Yang effect in the project??
Five-element Concept:
The five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
The ancient Chinese believed that everything is composed of one or more of the five elements, and that these elements influence each other within both a creative order and a control order.
