WEISMAN ART MUSEUM
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Minneapolis, MN

Design: Frank Gehry

This building was designed by internationally acclaimed architect Frank Gehry. It is part of the Minneapolis campus at the University of Minnesota. It houses the university's art collection and is host to visiting exhibitions and educational programs The building sits on the Mississippi River, overlooking one of its graceful curves.

We were asked to provide a complete assessment of this facility as part of a research project on feng shui and environmental psychology. Our analysis was carefully scrutinized for theoretical trends and methodological approaches. In addition to interest in the professional application of feng shui principles, the institution was also interested in understanding how this structure works from an energetic perspective. Recommendations were made to correct problems previously identified by staff and students as part of on-going analytical work.
