Environmental Design Phase 3

Container as content

In my understanding" Container as content" ,use the container to deliver the message to everyone. Example as lecturer given to us don't make the out look of bottle to be empty, so put the lable on it and put some infomation deliver to the audience.

if it is a bottle without label, It is a container without content, then the audience will not know the brand and what liquid inside

this is a bottle as well, if without content maybe people will think that it just a mineral water

Feng Shui

As I know feng shui ( 风水） literally translates as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty

According to the Wikipedia,
The history of feng shui covers 3,500+ year before the invention of the magnetic compass. It originated in Chinese astronomy.Some current techniques can be traced to Neolithic China, while others were added later (most notably the Han dynasty, the Tang, the Song, and the Ming)

The astronomical history of feng shui is evident in the development of instruments and techniques. According to the Zhouli the original feng shui instrument may have been a gnomon. Chinese used circumpolar stars to determine the north-south axis of settlements. This technique explains why Shang palaces at Xiaotun lie 10° east of due north. In some cases, as Paul Wheatley observed, they bisected the angle between the directions of the rising and setting sun to find north. This technique provided the more precise alignments of the Shang walls at Yanshi and Zhengzhou. Rituals for using a feng shui instrument required a diviner to examine current sky phenomena to set the device and adjust their position in relation to the device^.

The magnetic compass was invented for feng shui and has been in use since its invention. Traditional feng shui instrumentation consists of the Luopan or the earlier south-pointing spoon (指南針 zhinan zhen)—though a conventional compass could suffice if one understood the differences. A feng shui ruler (a later invention) may also be employed.

Nowaday, feng shui is practiced not only by the Chinese, but also by Westerners. However, with the passage of time and feng shui's popularization in the West, much of the knowledge behind it has been lost in translation, not paid proper attention to, frowned upon, or scorned.

Water for Elephant

Water for Elephants is a 2011 American romantic drama film based on Sara Gruen's novel of the same name, directed by Francis Lawrence, from a screenplay by Richard LaGravenese. It stars Reese Witherspoon as Marlena Rosenbluth, Robert Pattinson as Jacob Jankowski and Christoph Waltz as August Rosenbluth

As the memories begin, Jacob Jankowski is twenty-three years old and preparing for his final exams as a Cornell University veterinary student when he receives the news that his parents were killed in a car accident. In the dark of night, he jumps on a train only to learn it is a circustrain belonging to The Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. When the owner of the circus, Uncle Al, learns of his training as a vet, he is hired to care for the circus animals.

but now we not going to talk about the whole story of this movie, because this is "Environmental" Design, not "Movie" Design. The thing I would like to share is the screen that the Jacob start the first day job in Benzini Bother, and all the workers of Benzini Bother are building the booth of the show. They only use 1 day to build the booth, and they build without any machine all manpower. woah.. amazing.. and the booth they build can consider as stable. Compare with now, maybe we will think it is stupid without using machine. Ya perhaps, but we also have to admireto them who work without machine.
