kelompok 3: Aulya, Dinara, Luthfia
In the first picture there is no sink in the kitchen because thats the place, windows because if there are no windows there is no air entering the room and there is no ventilation in the room, crystals if there are no crystal it will look nicer and more beautiful, wind chimes are rung if the meal is finished, glass to beautify the room so that its not too plain, lighting so that the room is not dim.

1. I think it depends on the environment of the place itself. For example, a mall is a crowded place and i prefer quiet places like my bedroom or the library. Too much distraction can sometimes affect the way i think.
2. I’m not sure about the ‘particular feeling’ nor special places here, but if you’re referring to places that makes me comfortable i’d say it’s my bedroom or a quiet library. Both places helps me to explore more knowledge.
3. my suggestion is to dispose the trash into the bin instead of leaving it on the floor (it’s not that hard), also less sunlight would be nice.
(salma)
1. I think yes, because our feelings and thoughts depend on the place we are in, when we are in a messy place our thoughts become messy, but when we are in a neat place our thoughts and feelings will also be calm.
2. Yes, it is, the place is the room. because in my room I can think about many things alone without being disturbed by other people.
3. I think we should make our room or house look comfortable to live in, for example by cleaning and tidying the house, buying nice decorations to beautify the appearance of the house

(salma)
In my opinion in the first picture we need lights to light the room because in the picture there are no lights. For the second image we need water features, for example an aquarium filled with fish to beautify the room and we also need a crystal placed near the window. Then In the third picture, we need wind chimes to be displayed on the ceiling and walls to beautify the appearance of the house. fourth image we need crystals placed on the table and also paired items such as candles and other decorations
(nadya)
First picture which i assume to be a kitchen, needs a lightning, since people technically needs the light to cook (or any other activities), i’d choose to remove the plants since it’s not that necessary. Second picture, i’d remove the animal unless it’s a doll. I won’t add wind chimes for the third pic because it’ll be noisy. i won’t add anything for the last pic i think it’s enough.

REGAN AND RAFA XI-I
1.Yes, because I think an environment is affecting our mindset, if the environment we live in is comfortable, we can also think more clearly
2.Yes there is, the place is my room because I think my room is where I spend most of my time, and it is where I focus even more on doing something or thingking something
3.First of all, we have to clean the room and put things in place and often try new spots to keep us form getting bored
ROOM1:
There should be a source of light like a candle or a light for good lighting, dan then tere should be a window for ventilation
ROOM 2:
There should be an accessory to make the room more beautiful and then there should be a bigger plant

Nabila, Naya XI-7
1. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese belief that can provide positive energy
2. In feng shui beliefs, every room must have light or access to lighting. And in the kitchen there was no light. Also in the kitchen there should be no plants, because they can make the fire energy too strong. [ room 1]
3. There should be a crystal near the window because crystals absorb energy and can help you heal, but there isn’t one here [room 2]
4. wind chimes should be in the hallway [room 3]
5. In the room there are no pair items that represent togetherness and romance [room 4]
Reysila and Rona XI-7
1. The kitchen has no have windows, sink and lamp. Because windows expand the room, sink flow money into your life and lamp bringing energy into the house so we have to add the item.
2. Lots of unpaired items in the living room because paired items can strengthen relationship and there are not enough decoration hanging in the middle of the window because can stop the chi flowing.
3. The terrace area lacks wind hanging decoration because can stop the chi flowing.
4. The bed room lacks some plant elements because plants have positive energy.
