In this hands-on workshop, Feng Shui master and architect Chao-Chiung (C.C.) Lee explores the intersection of traditional Feng Shui practices with modern green design principles in a method which he titles the Green TEA Approach (Total Environmental Alignment). Feng Shui is grounded in ageless Chinese philosophies and practices aimed at promoting a harmonious relationship between people, their living space, and their surrounding environment. This course examines the core components of Feng Shui, architecture, and modern green design, highlighting the importance of harmonious interaction between human and environmental elements as they pertain to key aspects such as health, safety, welfare, and sustainability. This is achieved through the in-depth study of the two main Feng Shui philosophies known as the form and compass schools. Each system contains a set of principles to assess the energetic influence on human physical and psycho-emotional well being created by structural, electrical, mechanical, site and urban planning, security, and sustainable design.

Chao-Chiung (C.C.) Lee, AIA, LEED AP, is president and CEO of STOA Architects and a feng shui consultant with more than 30 years of experience in design and administration.
