Features: Houses for habitation, as the spatial environment for human survival, life, and development, deserve everyone's attention and discussion. Because peace and prosperity and health and good fortune are eternal pursuits of humanity. This book proposes ten substantial issues related to peace and prosperity and health and good fortune in houses. Based on the valuable experience of the authors in discovering "house diseases" through long-term practice, it provides an in-depth elaboration, revealing the scientific attributes of architecture that have been ignored for centuries, in order to safeguard the rights and interests people should enjoy in their houses and realize the dream of achieving health and good fortune in human settlements. This book discusses in an accessible manner a series of "human-centered" topics in architecture, which holds reference value for every individual and their family engaged in learning and researching architectural history and theory, architecture and environment, as well as those working in the real estate, architectural planning and design, and renovation industries, and for those concerned with and studying architectural humanities, health and wellness, and housing rights. The book is accompanied by a set of "House Direction Finder," a creation and design by the authors that holds national patent rights, for readers to use as a reference when determining the auspicious or inauspicious directions of a house.
