STUDY AND COMPARISON OF FENG SHUI AND WESTERN INTERIOR DESIGN TECHNIQUE

poster abstractThe purpose of this project is to research how Feng Shui is suggested to apply to hospitality design, and compare the “science and art” of Feng Shui with the design strategies I learned throughout my study of interior design technology. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese study of interior design that suggests bringing good fortune to the user of an environment. The balance of the five elements (metal, water, wood, fire, and earth), the use of space planning technique related to the directions, and the use of colors in the space are all examples of factors that affects Feng Shui design. It is said that a certain way of applying Feng Shui to a design can bring the users good health, wealth, or other fortune they desire. Yet, this saying is hard to be verified. Therefore, I decided to base my research on how Feng Shui can be used as an idea to inspire the designer. I am going to study how Feng Shui can guide a designer when planning a space or deciding design elements. I will provide a research that even people who do not believe in Feng Shui can benefit from the study of the relationship between the use of Feng Shui and the logical application technique that are taught in school. At the final stage of my research project, I will design an environment using the information I discover from doing this research. I will design a hospitality space that incorporates both eastern and western understanding of successful design technique

The Euler-Lagrange Cohomology and General Volume-Preserving Systems

We briefly introduce the conception on Euler-Lagrange cohomology groups on a symplectic manifold $(\mathcal{M}^{2n}, \omega)$ and systematically present the general form of volume-preserving equations on the manifold from the cohomological point of view. It is shown that for every volume-preserving flow generated by these equations there is an important 2-form that plays the analog role with the Hamiltonian in the Hamilton mechanics. In addition, the ordinary canonical equations with Hamiltonian $H$ are included as a special case with the 2-form $\frac{1}{n-1} H \omega$. It is studied the other volume preserving systems on $({\cal M}^{2n}, \omega)$. It is also explored the relations between our approach and Feng-Shang's volume-preserving systems as well as the Nambu mechanics.Comment: Plain LaTeX, use packages amssymb and amscd, 15 pages, no figure

PRACTICAL SUPERSTITIONS: FENG SHUI IN ARCHITECTURE

China has experienced rapid growth and as China grows, so does its global influence. Chinese culture can be seen in countries all over the world, and its influence is evident in various cuisines, languages, and even architecture. However, despite the global trend towards a more modern style, there are various elements present in Chinese architecture that allow it to stand out from the rest. Various real-life structures embody key beliefs of Feng Shui, which is both a theory and a practice for connecting the mind, body, and spirit to one’s space or environment, anchored on the traditional Chinese worldview on the art of spatial alignment and orientation, and its relationship with humans and their environment. These architectural designs do not merely stem from cultural or ideological bases alone; they have practical, economical, and logical applications as well. These real-life examples highlight the practicality behind the practice of Feng Shui in architecture

The growth rate and dimension theory of beta-expansions

In a recent paper of Feng and Sidorov they show that for $\beta\in(1,\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ the set of $\beta$-expansions grows exponentially for every $x\in(0,\frac{1}{\beta-1})$. In this paper we study this growth rate further. We also consider the set of $\beta$-expansions from a dimension theory perspective
