Vastu Shastra is based on the harmony of the five elements: air, water, fire, earth, and space. The principles of this teaching blend harmoniously with modern design trends. Vastu Shastra has been applied in the construction of offices for companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, the World Bank, NASA, and others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3115 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ideologist.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/stroitelstvo-zdanij-min-1.jpg\" alt=\"\u0424\u043e\u0442\u043e - \u0421\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u0430 \u0412\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0443 \u0428\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430 \u0432 \u0433\u0430\u0440\u043c\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0438 \u0430\u0440\u0445\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043a\u0442\u0443\u0440\u044b\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has a scientific foundation and a set of key principles.
