Is the energy flowing in your workspace According to Lily Wong-Taylor, the director of the East/ West Design Group, people don’t think enough about the design dynamics of their work environment. Her company develops office plans based on fengshui. an ancient Chinese earth science and ecological art form. "Our primary goal is to produce a space that gathers, generates, and focuses natural energies that enable people to perform at their best," says Wong-Taylor. The group has worked with both small businesses and major architectural firms on large-scale commercial buildings and projects. The group’s design consultants first conduct an on-site assessment of the kind of energy that a company wants for the kinds of activities and work that need to be done. The work activities are then divided according to fengshui energy categories: fire, earth, water, wood, and metal. These elements determine the building materials and architectural features needed for an effective, harmonious workplace. The fengshui designer may also recommend landscaping, gardens, plant arrangements, and water elements. "You’d be surprised," says Wong-Taylor, "how the smallest water feature in an office space can generate a tremendous flow of productive energies.\ What is the main activity of the East/West Design Group
