Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, squaring the circle has been about bringing the incommensurable work of the gods within the realm of the commensurate by using infinite cosmic principles to regulate the finite world. The American architect Claude Bragdon (1866-1946) squared the circle using his Theosophic architectural theory that was based on a neo-Pythagorean emphasis on Number, which he believed to have contained the secret of the universe. America at the turn of the 20th century was interested in Eastern spirituality at the beginning of an age of scientific relativity when the world and universe were being questioned due to new scientific discoveries based on higher-dimensional mathematical speculations that challenged relationships between humankind and the cosmos. Paralleling this scientific search was the Western conquest of the world on earth, which brought back speculations about the Near and Far East, including translations of their ancient scriptures and encyclopedias of their architecture. The fourth dimension was an imaginary mathematical (re)creation of great interest to Bragdon and common to scientific relativity and Eastern spirituality; two cultural constructs that altered the perception of time and space to affect the American imagination and architectural production. Within this context, Squaring the Circle investigates the relationship of theory to practice by considering Bragdonâ s architecture as the material manifestation of his Theosophic architectural theory.<br>Ph.

Le système de divination Fa au Bénin, intègre des connaissances ancestrales et occupe une place centrale dans la culture du sud béninois, alliant transmission orale et résilience face aux influences extérieures. Notre recherche examine comment ce système, marqué par ses objets et pratiques rituels, conserve et transmet son savoir symbolique de génération en génération dans une culture d’oralité, tout en assimilant des éléments de géomancie issus de civilisations scripturales comme celles islamiques ou perses.Grâce à une approche interdisciplinaire, notre étude met en lumière les mécanismes de transmission et d’adaptation propres au Fa. L’analyse de récits issus de corpus Fon et Yoruba, combinée à une exploration des stratégies de saillance symbolique et des structures morphosyntaxiques, révèle l’ingéniosité du système à rendre mémorables des connaissances complexes. Ce processus de résilience orale, qui intègre aussi bien les influences culturelles que les innovations modernes, se distingue par une transformation active de l’héritage géomantique qui permet au Fa de s’adapter aux réalités actuelles sans perdre son essence.Parmi les résultats marquants, l'étude démontre que la saillance symbolique, avec ses personnages et contrastes marqués, facilite la mémorisation. De plus, les structures orales sous forme de tableaux dans les versets divinatoires montrent une capacité d’organisation logique sans recours à l’écrit, illustrant une capacité d'analyse complexe propre à l’oralité. Cette résistance culturelle et cognitive, appuyée par des objets rituels qui servent de supports mnémotechniques et symboliques, met en évidence un système qui se renouvelle tout en préservant la continuité de son savoir.Ainsi, le Fa apparaît non seulement comme un système divinatoire, mais aussi comme un modèle cognitif riche et résilient. Par sa capacité à intégrer les changements sociétaux et technologiques, il maintient une forte cohésion entre passé et présent, démontrant que les traditions, loin de s’effacer sous l’effet de la modernité, peuvent se transformer pour rester significatives<br>The Fa divination system, in Benin Republic, integrates ancestral knowledge and occupies a central place in the culture of southern Benin, combining oral transmission and resilience in the face of external influences. Our research examines how this system, marked by its ritual objects and practices, preserves and transmits its symbolic knowledge from generation to generation in an oral culture, while assimilating elements of geomancy from scriptural civilizations such as Islamic or Persian.Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach, our study highlights the transmission and adaptation mechanisms specific to Fa. The analysis of narratives from Fon and Yoruba corpora, combined with an exploration of symbolic salience strategies and morphosyntactic structures, reveals the ingenuity of the system in making complex knowledge memorable. This process of oral resilience, which integrates both cultural influences and modern innovations, is distinguished by an active transformation of the geomantic heritage that allows Fa to adapt to current realities without losing its essence.Among the notable results, the study demonstrates that symbolic salience, with its marked characters and contrasts, facilitates memorization. In addition, oral structures in the form of tables in divinatory verses show a capacity for logical organization without resorting to writing, illustrating a capacity for complex analysis specific to orality. This cultural and cognitive resistance, supported by ritual objects that serve as mnemonic and symbolic supports, highlights a system that renews itself while preserving the continuity of its knowledge.Thus, Fa appears not only as a divinatory system, but also as a rich and resilient cognitive model. Through its ability to integrate societal and technological changes, it maintains a strong cohesion between past and present, demonstrating that traditions, far from fading under the effect of modernity, can be transformed to remain significant

Full textAbstract:
Le Feng shui regroupe les connaissances des Chinois sur les notions de temps, d’espace, d’environnement et lieu de vie (ville et habitation). C’est en effet le Feng shui qui a guidé, dès son « avènement » presque toutes les constructions édifiées pour les vivants et pour les morts en Chine. Aujourd’hui l’écologie et la protection de l’environnement sont les premières questions à prendre en compte dans la conception architecturale. Face à l’idée transmise par le Feng shui , nous ne pouvons pas nous empêcher de penser qu’une telle discipline si ancienne, très centrée sur l’environnement et l’habitation, peut servir de référence et d’inspiration au design de l’architecture moderne et au traitement de l’environnement . La question fondamentale de cette recherche est de savoir quelle est, ou quelles sont, la ou les véritable(s) source(s) de la pensée Feng shui. Au travers de nos recherches, nous tenons à prendre un certain recul vis-à-vis de la multitude de méthodes du Feng shui pour pouvoir pleinement nous concentrer sur leur philosophie transversale et ainsi tenter de synthétiser les différentes approches que l’on peut avoir de l’ensemble du monde Feng shui. Nous avons trouvé deux grands « fils rouges » de la doctrine Feng shui .Premier fil : le « qi 气» est la matière fondamentale de la composition du monde. Deuxième fil : La temporalité et l’action du Ciel comprise comme une puissance impersonnelle et ordonnatrice s’exerçant sur le monde au travers des régularités naturelles. Cette recherche est dans le but de construire une structure de recherche sur le sujet de « l’application du FENG SHUI dans la conception architecturale contemporaine et son environnement »<br>The Feng shui brings together the knowledge of the Chinese on the notions of time, space, environment and all the building infrastructures. It is indeed Feng shui has guided, from its "coming" almost all the buildings constructed for the living and for the dead in China. Modern ecology and environmental protection are the top priorities to be considered in architectural design. Faced with the idea transmitted by the Feng shui, we can’t help thinking that such ancient discipline, very focused on the environment and housing, can serve as a reference and inspiration in the design of contemporary architecture and treatment of the environment. The basic question of this research is to know what was, or what were, the true (s) source (s) of the doctrine of Feng shui. Through our research, we want to take a step back to the multitude of methods of Feng Shui, and intended to fully concentrate on their cross philosophy, and try to synthesize the different approaches that can have globally of the Feng shui. We have found two major "red threads" of Feng shui .First thread: the "qi 气" is the basic material of the composition of the world. Second thread: Temporality and action of Heaven understood as an impersonal power and instructing exerted on the world through natural regularities. This research is in order to build a research facility on the topic of "the application of Feng Shui in contemporary architectural and environment design" and we hope that this first step will be considered important to the continued reflection

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with complex processes, relationships and phenomena which go beyond the assumed and accepted materialistic perception of the world in general and the process of architectural design specifically. It clarifies and actually redefine the sustainability from a point of higher universal principles forming our environment. At the beginning this thesis presents an extensive knowledge base of existing holistic design systems including Feng-shui, sacred geometry, geomancy or numerology. The purpose is to build and establish a solid foundation for understanding and further research as well as objectively interpreting lesser known topics as a whole. On the basis of intersecting information through the above mentioned topics we specify the hypothesis which proposes the pre-existence of one unifying design matrix of harmonic structures in architecture. The structure of its verification takes us from an analysis of the science of human perception to systems of self-similar contextual references of animated and inanimated forms. These systems of emergent form and flow are basically known as fractals, and could be expressed in both mathematical and geometrical languages. The thesis research then consists of analysing chosen examples of urban and architectural scale in sense of fractality, symbolism and geometrical matrices. We include and integrate the research of associated and relevant phenomena in pedagogical practice, and a case study of the application of fractals in development of a chosen town. From the results of this thesis we abstract five non-dogmatic guidelines or tenets for architectural design; which are supported by experimental verification on some of the author´s buildings. These tenets stand as pillars of implosive architecture. This kind of architecture in context of transcendental overlaps means a possibility of how to bring our anthropogenic environment closer to the natural and harmonic code of the Universe.

La presente investigación consiste en evaluar y verificar la eficiencia anti-erosiva del revestimiento denominado geomanta e hidrosiembra como reemplazo de los emboquillados de piedra, presentes en las alcantarillas ubicadas en la carretera Lima - Canta.
La primera metodología es de enfoque cualitativo, elaborada en campo mediante la recolección de datos mediante fichas, las cuales describen las características de 30 alcantarillas y la verificación del tipo de suelo. Seguidamente, se procesó la información recolectada donde se identificó 08 alcantarillas que presentaban problemas de erosión debido a la falla del emboquillado, posteriormente se procedió a obtener los caudales de diseño y se verifico su dimensionamiento.
La segunda metodología presenta un enfoque cuantitativo, donde se determinaron los parámetros de velocidad y esfuerzo cortante generados por el flujo en la descarga de las alcantarillas, dichos valores fueron obtenidos mediante la aplicación de modelos hidráulicos en los programas HEC-RAS e IBER. Con la finalidad de proporcionar la solución adecuada que permita asegurar la estabilidad de la estructura, los valores de velocidades y esfuerzo cortante obtenidos fueron comparados con la resistencia brindada por el emboquillado y la geomanta. Los resultados permiten determinar que el emboquillado no presenta una resistencia adecuada para la protección en la descarga de las alcantarillas a media ladera.
Finalmente, se recomienda el uso de geomanta e hidrosiembra para la protección de taludes de fuerte pendiente donde descarguen alcantarillas, en lugar de emboquillados los cuales no presentan resistencias adecuadas ante las velocidades y esfuerzos de corte producidas por el flujo de agua.<br>The present investigation consists of evaluating and verifying the anti-erosive efficiency of the lining called geomanta and hydroseeding as a replacement for the stone mouthpieces, present in the sewers located on the Lima - Canta highway.
The first methodology has a qualitative approach, prepared in the field by collecting data sheets, which describe the characteristics of 30 sewers and the verification of the type of soil. Next, the information collected was processed where 08 culverts were identified that presented erosion problems due to the failure of the mouthpiece, then the design flows were obtained and their sizing was verified.
The second methodology presents a quantitative approach, where the velocity and shear stress parameters generated by the flow in the discharge of the sewers were determined; these values were obtained by applying hydraulic models in the HEC-RAS and IBER programs. In order to provide the appropriate solution to ensure the stability of the structure, the values of speeds and shear stress obtained were compared with the resistance provided by the hole and the geomanta. The results allow to determine that the emboquillado does not present an adequate resistance for the protection in the discharge of the sewers to the middle slope.
Finally, the use of geomatting and hydroseeding is recommended for the protection of steep slopes where culverts discharge, instead of troughs which do not present adequate resistance to the speeds and shear stresses produced by the water flow.<br>Tesis

Previous issue date: 2008-06-05<br>Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior<br>Geopolymers are cementing materials that depict a number of advantages compared to Portland cement. Contrary to the latter, geopolymers are synthesized at room temperature,
thus significantly reducing the emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. Moreover, the composition and synthesis reactions can be tailored to adjust the setting time of the material as well as its compressive mechanical strength. It is then possible to produce geopolymeric cements with
short setting times and high compressive strength, although relatively brittle. The objective of the present study was to produce and characterize composite materials by reinforcing fastsetting geopolymeric matrixes with polypropylene geosynthetics (geomats and geotextiles) in an attempt to improve the toughness and tensile strength of the cementing material. Geosynthetics have been increasingly used to reinforce engineering structures, providing higher strength and better toughness. In particular, polypropylene nonwoven and geomats depict other attractive properties such as low density, durability, impact absorption and resistance to abrasion. Fast-setting geopolymers were then synthesized and reinforced with polypropylene nonwoven and geomats. The mechanical strength of the materials, reinforced
or not, was characterized. The results showed that relatively short setting times and adequate flowing behavior were achieved by adjusting the composition of the geopolymer. In addition, it is possible to improve the fracture resistance of geopolymeric cements by adding polypropylene geosynthetics. The best results were achieved by reinforcing geopolymer with

Para esta finalidade foram empregados geosint?ticos (geot?xteis e geomanta) de polipropileno.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>樹德科技大學<br>建築與室內設計研究所<br>102<br>Fung Shui is one of the cultural essences of the Chinese for thousands of years. It is a culture confirmed several times, leaving a lot of authentic treasures. Some are great masterpieces others are legendary stories.
Geomancy is knowledge that belonged to the ancient emperors and literali. Some of them built massive constructions according to Geomancy, such as the Emperor Temple in the Ming and Qing Dynasty. The others constructed housings or shrines of wealthy and famous families, such as Wufung Lin Family Garden. Majestic buildings can provide the places of worshipping the dead, something common folks cannot reach. However, due to Taiwan’s economic flight in the last thirty years, houses and constructions were built as fast as ever. Prosperity in common peoples’ lives gave rise to their awareness in Fung Shui. Meanwhile, the knowledge passed from China to Hong Kong, then from Hong Kong to Taiwan (This means that the reason why the skills of Geography (山), traditional Chinese medical science (醫), fortune-telling (命), divination (卜), specialty for appearance (相) are so common), with its increasing influence. In the past thirty years, Fung Shui spread along with economic growth through the whole island. The sight of people counting “Chinese Era” (combination of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches) can be commonly seen in the streets of Taiwanese society.
The research centers the architecture of modern Taiwan. The traits of building, such as the scene of it, the interior design within, and the sizes and directions of the water running of the streams outside the houses, all maters the destiny of the house and its owner. Whether there is good view of the landscape, or the mountains seen in front creates the proper line, or the mountain line behind creates the best shape, or the arrangement of those in the two sides can reinforce the Qi-field of the house, are all research targets of Fung Shui and Geomancy. The construction arrangement of a house simply matters closely with the peace and wealth of the residents. With the principles of the geography ancient and modern, the legacy of old and late masters, the lectures of masters nowadays, and actual experience personally, have come to search the truth of the operation on the universe, so can bring benefits to people and society, and common good.

Chinese Geomancy (Feng-shui) on site planning (the placement of modern
buildings or the site selections for architecture or cities).
Through the geomantic ideas in Yih-Jing, whose main thoughts like as
Yin-Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Diagrams, Li-Chi, I would like to
explain the site selections for architecture and cities and the arrangement of
towns and cities. By the process and analysis of interpreting the principles
of geomantic operation and the multiple pictures, diagrams, song, mantras
and poems, this thesis aims to clarify the superstition and the ambiguous
understanding of Geomantic system, to disclose the confusing concepts, to
establish the norm of modern geomancy. Besides , it is to combine the ideas
of modern architecture, furthermore, and to make the ancient concept useful.
However, the dualism of science and superstition borne in geomancy
has made this study encountering many barriers.
Although there are numerous records in Feng shui literature, in addition
to their features, voluminous, mixturous, difficult and chaotic, it’s extremely
difficult to find the papers in the academically level and to understand some
very profound mantras. The mauvais pas is just like the Chinese saying :
“riding a horse in the wildemess and rowing a boat amidst the open sea.”
How to make the mysterious materials comprehensible with the flowing
writing style and with the peaceful and freedom spirit is my difficult task.
Hopefully, this paper will be not only my precious treasure, but also
could be the reference for the posterity.

碩士<br>世新大學<br>企業管理研究所(含碩專班)<br>101<br>Theories of Geomancy & Feng Shui are the cumulative life experiences of ancient Chinese; they have long history and are part of important traditional customs. They are profound eastern philosophy, including thinking model with in-depth and precise system. They are based on I Ching’s “harmony between man and nature” as the core, and emphasize the harmony between human beings and nature. Theories of geomancy & Feng Shui, such as Ying Yang & the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams and concepts, imply the techniques and methods of system operation, including the rich and complicated thoughts of China, in the past 5000 years. Thus, for buildings in Taiwan, geomancy & Feng Shui are applied in arrangement of villages, construction of cities, site selection, planning, design and even the construction of Ying and Yang houses, which can be demonstrated by the existing old cities and towns, old buildings, tombs and private housing. Thus, geomancy & Feng Shui, in fact, are the general natural science combining architecture, geography, meteorology, ecology, environment, and even aesthetics and psychology.
This study explores the relationship between geomancy & Feng Shui and profits and fortune of enterprises and individuals. By literature review, data collection, case study and interview, this study clarifies the superstition and myth of geomancy & Feng Shui in the past. It also generalizes the arrangement and technique for fortune in geomancy & Feng Shui, and constructs the operational principles to combine geomancy & Feng Shui with modern architecture in order to establish academic model of modern Feng Shui, and develop modern application by ancient techniques. The findings can serve as references for enterprises and individuals to select sites and directions of buildings of Ying and Yang houses.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>會計學系<br>107<br>Abstract
We used the geomancy (feng shui) to examine the housing environment and to measure the location of property. By taking three real cases, we examined whether clients’ fortune was changed after we implied geomancy onto the housing environment. The research period is from 2013 to 2018. In the first two cases, the clients just changed the location of seats without taking huge construction. The purpose of changing the location of seats is to increase the harmony among colleague and then to improve their performance. In the third case, the client wanted to design the spaces for housing and for working. Over the discussion with owner, I considered geomancy into the space design. The purposes of this design are to increase harmony among family members, to improve health, and to make business be successful.
For doing this study, we studied these three cases and discussed with these three clients. Then we have the following conclusions. First, even we only changed the location of seats for managers and assistants, not taking huge construction, we can improve client’s performance. Second, we not only changed the location of seats, but also slightly took construction, we can improve client’s performance. Third, we planned a full piece of land and signed the space for housing and working. When client stands in front of house, there is a wide yard in front of house, mountain is at the back of house. After client moved into this new house, his business performance improved by 30%.
We concluded that there is no 100% perfect design of land or house. However, if geomancy master can fully discuss with clients and understand what they need in business or in health, the master aims to to redesign the direction of office or house, and then help clients pursue their life purpose. The purpose of geomancy is to help people living with nature.

陽宅風水盛行於建築及一般價值體系分岐之時, 針對哲學、科學、宗教的詮釋層出
不窮, 使之更具矇矓不可解的神秘氣氛. 對於居民、術師建築業者、建築學者而言
均有詳細分辨和研究的必要.
( 理論與技術的形成 )
源于人本主義對於人的重視, 人類自我實踐動機的推波助瀾, 以及中國先秦諸子百
家思想導出天人合一宇宙觀中對於個人、人際、環境三層面和諧與均衡的追求. 經
由知識份子藉著河圖、洛書、八卦、太極等圖騰, 及以易經、陰陽、五行、九星等
變異的規則, 找出針對常態、變態、過去、現在、未來等問題的山、翳、命、相、
卜等五術, 以解決日常生活中生理及心理的問題.
( 陽宅風水是五術在住宅上的綜合應用 )
中國人于面對居住問題時, 延用填墓尋基與安葬的陰宅風水的方法, 綜合山、翳、
命、相、卜的操作模式, 發展出針對住宅內在格局及外在形式的理論和技術, 稱為
陽宅風水.
( 陰宅風水各流派旨在尋求個人、人際、環境三層面的和諧與均衡 )
古時稱為理氣派與巒頭派, 后來稱為形家、法家、時家的三元、三合、四獸、形象
、宅、門公、九星、奇門、禁忌、斗數、卜筮、納音、出世、符咒、厭勝、藥療、
、食療、修德等各種流派和理論和技術中, 可以發現術師及居民藉由陽宅風水在尋
求三層面的和諧與均衡.
( 八宅法之細節也指出其目標在於求得三層面的和諧與均衡 )
詳細檢驗現階段陽宅風水中被一般大眾所熟悉的八宅法的理論與技術, 發現其要旨在
就個人內在的實質、外在的形式, 人際關系中的家庭親戚、祖先宗族、社區鄰人,
自然環境的時間、空間、與神靈系統上, 在尋求其間和諧與均衡達成之道.
( 陽宅風水與建築科技的比較 )
拿陽宅風水與環境設計科學作比較, 環境設計科學的焦點放在空間與實體的造型、
內部與外部的動線、個體與群體的機能, 幾何結構營造、環境塑造、交通系統、空
間組織、家俱設備、建築物理、生態環境、以至於法令規章, 每一範圍均自成嚴密
作業系統. 兩者相較之下, 在知識上有邏輯直觀之分; 在設計上有系統與隨興之分
; 在管理上有條理與威權之分; 在藝術作為上有視覺與直感之分. 唯在營造的程序
上, 兩者顯得非常接近. 其目的同樣就建築在作定點、定位、定向、定形象、定尺
度、定顏色、定裝飾、定時間、定預算的工作, 顯現出陰宅風水在目的上與建築科
學相類似, 祗是在手段上實際解決問題的手段技術性與能力上較為薄弱.
( 陽宅風水與宗教信仰的比較 )
陽宅風水在手段上傾向儀式性, 和實證的建築學有所差異, 而與宗教信仰相類似.
然而, 在目的上又傾向于實用的, 和宗教信仰所屬的表達的目的又有不同。且在多
變性、靈驗性、悸動性神興祕性上面與宗教信仰相比較, 虛構的成份更為明顯而缺
乏嚴謹性, 其由於條件不足而不能構成純粹的宗教信仰. 所以, 陽宅風水實在是介
乎實證科學及宗教信仰之間的巫術, 同時更是一種生活的藝術.
( 陽宅風水的定位 )
陽宅風水為介乎科學與宗教信仰之巫術, 更為生活的藝術, 這種生活藝術在中國多
數人的心理作用是確有實效不容忽視的, 何況其理論與實務正經由有識之士與近代
科技作調適整合, 它除了有助於宅主完成自我實踐的行動動機之外, 更由於其具有
整合、生存及認知的功能, 且有助於持天人合一宇宙觀的中國人, 借由住宅的行為
─陽宅風水─達到個人有機體、人際關係和自然環境系統上尋求和諧與均衡的目標

碩士<br>中原大學<br>建築(工程)學系<br>83<br>"地理"即是我們一般通稱的風水, 因為風水在臺灣民眾的認知中指的是墳
墓的風水, 因此本論文使用地理一詞來代表本文所探討之聚落與建築物的
風水。在臺灣有關聚落的研究中, 風水常被視為迷信而忽略不談, 直到近
年來才逐漸受到重視, 許多研究者發現聚落中的宅屋、廟宇及村落配置均
受到風水說法的影響. 但至目前為止並沒有專章探討風水之運用與影響
者,本論文即是以此為目的, 並以澎湖傳統聚落為對象, 透過田野調查、
現地觀察、地圖判讀等方式, 以全島、村落、建築三個層次來探討風水在
澎湖社會的應用及其對聚落空間的影響.透過上述三個層次的探討, 本論
文發現風水在澎湖社會的應用是廣泛的, 但其運用並非是全面而獨立的,
會因其所處的環境與目的之異同而有不同的考量並運用不同的風水觀念;
在全島的層次中, 風水特別為官方與學者所重視, 尤其是巒頭派風水中的
龍脈說法; 在村落層次所運用的風水觀念仍以巒頭派風水為主, 但特別重
視的是村落後方的靠山與前方的案山 , 此外, 村落內由神明指示的風水
設施與外圍的厭勝物均具有風水作用,此部份的風水則與民間信仰結合,
具有神秘的色彩; 在建築物層次所用的風水觀念中除了巒頭派風水外, 還
有向法風水與陽宅禁忌, 其中包含民間常用的流年、八字等擇向法則以及
各類的沖射禁忌, 對建物之內外部空間有重大影響.本論文之結論認為風
水觀念對澎湖聚落空間有以下八點影響: 1.風水成為聚落與建築物擇址的
準則之一, 2.風水決定村落與建築物的朝向, 3.風水影響了建築物平面格
局、匠師施作方式與門向, 4.風水間接影響了建築物興建的時間與尺度,
5.風水觀念影響了建築物興建過程中的儀式行為 , 6.風水影響了村落的
配置與成長, 7.風水影響了全島與村落的景觀, 8.風水間接影響了居民對
空間的認知.

The basic content of Hetu and Luoshu is Maths and Science application. The content of Yijing is that divination and prediction. The ancient Taoist is good at Yijing divination and applies geomantic omen skill. Therefore they have
remarkable achievement in this field. This makes Feng-shui art linked to Taoism, and become a part of Taoism's thought and Magic arts. Some people claim this is Taoism's geomantic omen theory.
"Huangdi Zbaijing" include at "The Zbengtong Daozang Taoist" and it is one of the earlier book in Feng-shui art. The view spoken of "Huangdi Zbaijing" can not only be applied to current society, but also been quoted by the contemporary geomantic omen or the architecture books. Therefore it reveals remarkable value of this book. This text is in view of this, namely with "Huangdi Zbaijing" as research object. Adopting various analysises and many aspects of this book, it includes scholar study, book origin, edition constrat, basic view in Magic and Maths, selecting an auspicious day view, astronomy geographical view, looks residence 4 law,etc. Except for geomantic omen studying, it still attempts to represent implying the style and features of a book, such as humanity and artictic culture, philosophy thought,etc.. Hope geomantic omen culture could move towards academic field gradually and inherit the contemporary academic value of old experience on.

We use a Lu-Pan home Feng-Shui quantization and assessment service to verify the system''s feasibility. The implementation environment consists of two servers, each equipped with three KVM virtual machines to accept requests for the single-entry front-end server, which is responsible for service allocation as well as source monitoring. Experimental results show that the system is able to immediately initiate the backup mechanism when a system fault occurs under the 100ms network card monitoring mode. When customer requirements change, this system is also able to effectively balance service requests by switching virtual machines, thereby achieving the effect of load balancing.

碩士<br>東海大學<br>建築研究所<br>86<br>Wuhsing Geomancy is used to be the most powerful methodology of the building site selection to pursue good fortunes and shun the course of calamity. The purpose of this study is to research the ancient book "Ching Chiao Cheng Ti Li Hsin Su" which seemed to be officially published by the Soon/Chin Dynasty Goverment(A.D.1192). The preliminary objective is to search for any operational Wuhsing Geomancy system contained in the book, and the ultimate purpose is to find out the idelogy concerning the good and bad omens as well as the spatial consideration. From this particular angle it is tried to reconstruct and explain the tradtional Chinese concepts of living space and structure. At the beginning the author consolidated those good fortunes and bad calamity standards into frames such as the conditions of the resident, pure geomancy standards, judged from the environmental conditions, the interactions between the residential building orientation and the surrounding geography, and good and bad fortune due to the residence building design itself. According to the above frames the author proceeded the analysis orderly, and procured the idea that the universe is consisted of the five elements and "Wuhsing" represents that all people belong to one of these five elements, so that ecologically there are conflicts among people, residence, and environment. The ideology of good and bad fortune of Wuhsing Geomancy practitioners is to follow a constant and smooth heaven''s way to judge the good or bad fortune including the principle of five elements rotating control of each other, the rules of rise and fall, as well as the ideal abstractive spatial images such as family order, Yin-Yang and following or against it. Furthermore, these practitioners combine the common principles of judging geomancy selection of building site, and related judgement experiences, and taboos to build up Wuhsing Geomancy building site selection standards. Wuhsing Geomancy selection of residential building environment and designs come grom the mind offear and respect to the nature is consisted of the five elements that is the analytical way of ancient Chinese in explaining the phenomena of the nature. It is obvious that Wuhsing Geomancy has been influenced by the knowledge of universe constructed by Yin-Yang theory and in turn it affected the selection and design of the residential buildings.-1 -aA tentative Reconstruction of the Buildings Site Selection manipulative System on the basis od the Wuhsing Geomancy Couveyed in the Ancient Book "Chung CHiao Cheng Ti Li Hsin Su"

categories: techniques based on the acquisition and
processing of images, techniques based on the
measurement of angles and distances, and combinations
of the foregoing.
After an overview of Geomatics techniques and their
