Urban Structures as Landforms

U

nlike some landforms, human-made structures in general carry no primordial energy, but like landforms, they can direct, promote, or block the flow of energy. Some examples:

narrow streets surrounded by skyscrapers act like narrow valleys with steep, sloping walls
buildings with knifelike edges act like jagged peaks
pointed objects like TV antennas and certain kinds of sculpture act like pointed rocks
streets with fast-flowing traffic act like swift-flowing rivers
roads shaped like dragons act like water dragons

You can read more about Landform Classification in my book Feng-shui: The Ancient Wisdom of Harmonious Living for Modern Times.
