Ecological architecture is an ecology that studies the symbiotic relationship between human built environment and natural organisms. It is a branch of exploring the balanced and sustainable development of life activities on the earth. On the one hand, ecological architecture regards human settlements as part of the entire natural ecosystem, so it requires that buildings should comply with the law of symbiosis of nature ecosystem balance . On the one hand, natural ecology is regarded as a specific building structure and an organic system that has an influence on humans. Therefore, humans are required to consider the structure, function and various impacts on humans when planning and selecting a building, so as to reasonably Utilize, adjust, transform and adapt to its building ecological environment. When Western scholars who were the first to study ecological architecture occasionally turned their attention to Eastern culture, they were surprised to find that the traditional Chinese Feng Shui theory that has been developed for thousands of years has become more and more similar to the contemporary ecology of the environment, nature and architecture. The new theories of architecture resonate with history.

These buildings are located in different geographical locations, different building materials, construction form, scale, style, orientation, etc. This factor will have different influences and forces on people with different identities, occupations, and different life information, and produce different effects and different factors. positive and negative effects.
Feng Shui integrates the reasonable connotation of traditional Feng Shui with contemporary ecological architecture, and studies the positive and negative effects of the direction, form, materials, colors, etc. of the building on the physical and mental health of different people and the development of their careers, and masters the architectural elements and The adjustment and optimization of its pattern makes it more coordinated and synchronized with the human life information and the entire natural ecology, and explores the objective laws of harmonious coexistence between humans, buildings and natural ecology with more powerful scientific methods.
