Irregular Shapes

There is this school in the old part of PJ which is a good example for the study of yin and yang in play. There are two single storey blocks that were constructed at an angle of about 30 degrees to each other. The reason could have been the constraint of space or the odd shape of the land.

At the narrow corner are some banana trees. The open funnel of this land faces off east so sunlight penetrates from the mouth of this funnel. The funnel also faces the busy main road. The western end is obstructed by some buildings and the banana trees.

The yin yang effect is so obvious. I did not have a camera with me then for it would have been a good shot.

Fengshui have always advised against irregular shapes. There are many reasons for this and the underlying principle is the odd juxtaposition of angles. The principles and theories may have different names and terms like the heaven earth man principles, conflict of elements, disharmony of yin yang etc.
