Effects of the Water Element in Buildings
Water represents the flowing aspect of time and expresses itself most prominently in aesthetics. Nature water cycles are intervened by Architecture to create new subsystem cycles such as water and sewerage systems. The water element is perceived as taste and is opposed to fire. The water cycles of both nature and your home are circulated by means of the fire element. The dynamic interaction of water and fire in the suns absorbing water and showering rain is indispensable for human life. But the more we disturb this finely tuned system with various pollutants the more the system of life and the environment of our planet becomes dysfunctional. The same finely tuned system applies wherever there is the use of water and fire in buildings. If your water distribution and fire energies are correctly positioned, nature endows your surroundings with harmony and success.
