Curious how other Architects really feel about Vastu
As an architect, I’ve always been curious about how fellow architects really feel about Vastu, beyond the standard “we follow it if the client wants it” answer (which honestly, is our stance as well). What are your thoughts on Vastu? Do you see it as a meaningful design framework, or look at it as a constraint on design and creativity?
I’m also curious why Vastu has such a strong influence even in the 21st century, when most of the world builds homes without it and people still live successful lives. Do you think fewer clients today are asking for it, or has demand stayed the same? After years of architectural education and working in the industry, do you personally believe in it? If yes, what makes you believe in it?
Would genuinely love to hear perspectives or even personal anecdotes from firm owners, freelancers, interior designers, senior and junior architects, students, and anyone working in the field.
