Ergonomics of Home Construction presents a holistic and forward-looking approach to residential design by scientifically integrating modern ergonomics, Indian Vastu Shastra, and Chinese Feng Shui.
Rather than treating Vastu and Feng Shui as belief systems, this book interprets them as early ergonomic frameworks developed through centuries of observation of climate, human movement, and psychological comfort. The result is a practical, rational, and human-centered design guide for contemporary homes.
