Original Prompt

Create an extension activity page that includes: 1) A practical assessment where students apply Feng Shui principles to redesign a real space (home, office, or classroom), 2) Real-world tie-ins showing how modern companies, architects, and designers use Feng Shui today, and 3) A comparison activity between Feng Shui design and contemporary design movements. Include reflection questions that connect ancient principles to modern sustainable and wellness-focused design.

This project aims to help students understand and apply Feng Shui principles in redesigning spaces to enhance the flow of positive energy (Chi). It involves selecting a familiar space (like a bedroom or office) and addressing existing layout issues based on Feng Shui concepts. Students will sketch the current layout, identify problems affecting energy flow, and propose improvements using at least five key Feng Shui principles. The project also includes real-world applications involving renowned companies like Apple and Google, exploring how they implement Feng Shui in their designs to enhance customer experience and employee productivity. Additionally, students will assess a local space using these principles, reflect on the economic and wellness benefits of integrating ancient wisdom into contemporary design, and analyze connections between Feng Shui, Minimalism, and Biophilic Design.
