Part of the West’s passion for things Asian is a search for serenity that seems to elude our frantic living pace. Ancient Chinese writers have recorded an idyllic lifestyle that includes a nice cottage, a clean table, a beautiful moon and flowers. But it takes a bit more to live in style. This class will examine the principles and practices underlying traditional Chinese and Japanese architecture and how they encourage graceful living.
