| book description |
Mitchell and Wu explore the possibility of creating a new, living philosophy of design in the West using Daoist principles such as feng shui and ""green design."" Mitchell warns that architects cannot simply import Chinese architecture, or even Daoist philosophy, wholesale from Asia. He does suggest, however, that rethinking and re-imagining Western architecture along Daoist lines is an exciting and innovative way out of the sterility and irrelevance of much of modern and postmodern building design.
