master R.D. Chin, architect

Feng Shui is the traditional Chinese philosophy and practice that brings people and objects into harmony with the environment.
R.D. Chin is a full-time Feng Shui Consultant who is a New York State architect, NCIDQ interior designer, author and teacher. Mr. Chin trained and worked with the late Paul Rudolph as an architect and further expanded his knowledge of the interior design field working with interior designer, Nina Hughes. He combines Western design principles with Feng Shui to align any space with dimensions of spirit, character, and a feeling of balance. In addition, Mr. Chin integrates his innate knowledge of his Chinese heritage with the wealth of insight gained from his travels to the Far East (China, Taiwan, Nepal, Tibet, India and Japan) as well as Europe and the United States.

Born in 1953, R. D. Chin has a civil engineering degree (BSCE) from Tufts University and a masters degree in architecture (M.Arch) from the University of Pennsylvania. He has been trained and continues to study under the tutelage of Professor Lin Yun, Master of the Tantric Buddhist School of Feng Shui. In 1993, Mr. Chin founded Space Alignment Feng Shui Design, an architectural design consultant practice in New York City. He also teaches regularly at the New York Open Center, the Long Island Feng Shui Institute and other feng shui certification programs. He has also worked on proposals for an urban planning and housing development in the Netherlands and contributed a Feng Shui Proposal for the World Trade Center Memorial Competition with Colpacci Miclescu Architects, Amsterdam.

He is author of Feng Shui Revealed: An Aesthetic, Practical Approach to the Ancient Art of Space Alignment published by Clarkson Potter of Random House. In addition, Mr. Chin has been interviewed for many newspaper and magazine articles, including the New York Times and Metropolitan Home. He has been featured on Lifetime Television and other major TV stations. Mr. Chin is available for residential, commercial, and urban planning assignments throughout the world.

To help people harmonize and balance their lives through their spaces…and to empower themselves and their own creativity.

To teach people about universal principles and honoring ancient traditions and nature.

To acknowledge that Feng Shui is recognized as a strong and growing entity, accepted as a professional design service for everyone…

a valid and practical approach to plan for all types and scale of projects: homes, offices, commercial, corporate, developers, and for urban, environmental and global planning.

We need to be very selective: To work on projects that really stimulate us!

To be with people who really energize each other through their integrity, responsibility, creativity, and spirituality…the enjoyment of a team effort and collaboration!

To observe, conserve and be truly concious of our own energies.

To promote prosperity, health and happiness for all!

THE RED ENVELOPE TRADITION According to the practice of Feng Shui, it is always appropriate to acknowledge the exchange of energies with a token dollar bill in a Red Envelope or multiples of 9 Red Envelopes (depending on the feng shui cures or recommendations). The reason is that the knowledge shared using Feng Shui principles is considered to be both sacred and powerful; and money is (from a ch’i perspective) very powerful. So, by placing money in a Red Envelope, we are affirming the power and integrity of the exchange of energies being shared during the course of the consultation.
