The history of this domain

Domains have biographies. This one had a distinguished first act, a derelict second, and this site is its third.

From 2001 until roughly 2014, this domain was the home of Feng Shui Architects Pty Ltd, a Sydney practice run by a chartered architect who combined conventional architectural work with classical feng shui consulting — one of the few practitioners anywhere holding professional credentials in both. The practice taught through its own college, lectured at Australian universities, presented conference papers in Europe on the San He luopan, and led study trips into mainland China to work with traditional compass makers in Anhui Province.

The site that stood here reflected that seriousness. It published articles on the classical schools, on Chinese numerology, and on luopan construction — material still cited and linked by feng shui forums and directories across several languages.

The years in between

After the practice let the domain go, it went the way lapsed domains go. By 2023 the address was serving spam entirely unrelated to feng shui. That occupation has been cleared out; nothing of it remains here.

What this site is now

Wind & Water is an independent reader's guide to the subjects the original site was known for — the schools, the luopan, the number system, and how the field is taught. It is not the original practice, is not affiliated with its principals or successors, and does not offer consulting. Where old links point at pages from the practice's era, they now land on the closest equivalent guide here, and the luopan figures that other sites embedded from this address have been restored so those references keep working.
