Re: GBlist: Natural air flow

<< I have been working for a year or so (and expect to spend another 10 on
 it) to come up with some facts, from the engineering or psychological
 perspective that support the design decisions that result from Feng Shui-
 yin and yang- and such.  Could you describe more of what you found
 comfortable in this house, ie daylighting, landscape,  materials, etc.  I
 would love to delve more into this subject.  it is my ultimate goal to
 design a house that would fit into a typical neighborhood, but that, by
 its very nature makes people feel comfortable- relaxed, at ease, etc.
 without their really knowing why or what is happening to make them so
 comfortable.  this requires an intense awareness on my part (and those
 like you who have like experiences) to be able to pinpoint what is
 happening and then to figure out why...
 
 thank you for what you have already shared with me- her space sounds
 quite interesting.

You may aso want to look up some of the ties to these concepts in "A Pattern
Language" by Christopher Alexander, one of today's top architectural
theorists.
