Introduction

Feng Shui is not a superstition, but a science of harmony with the environment.

The modern world requires new approaches, but the essence remains the same: energy should flow freely and in a balanced manner.

(1866–1936)

An outstanding master of the late Qing Dynasty – early Republic of China, systematizer of the theory of Flying Stars (Xuan Kun Fei Xing)

Harmonizing living spaces, going beyond purely aesthetic and functional design, is an interdisciplinary task at the intersection of design, environmental psychology, and traditional environmental theories. One of the most developed and systematized concepts in this field is the Chinese art of feng shui, which offers a comprehensive language for describing human interaction with energy flows (qi) in space. However, its practical application in the modern world faces a number of methodological challenges: the subjectivity of interpretations, the difficulty of synthesizing multi-level information (individual, spatial, and temporal), and, consequently, the low reproducibility of recommendations.

The goal of this work is to develop a formalized, algorithmic methodology for dynamic feng shui that can overcome these challenges. The work aims to create a transparent, reproducible, and adaptive system for analyzing and adjusting space, taking into account both static and dynamic factors, as well as the interests of multiple users. The proposed approach is based on a critical analysis of existing practices, a synthesis of classical knowledge, and its formalization in the form of hierarchical algorithms tested using analytical prototype cases. This methodology potentially lays the foundation for the creation of expert systems and the integration of feng shui principles into modern digital environmental design technologies.

“The five elements are the language of the Universe. Understanding their interaction allows we speak with space and transform it.”

A modern popularizer of Feng Shui, author of numerous international bestsellers. Her works made complex concepts accessible to the global audience.

1.1. The Five Elements (Wu Xing) as a language for describing energy interactions in space

The five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — form the fundamental language of feng shui for describing all energetic interactions. They are not literal substances, but rather categories of energy quality that exist
