...generous amount of natural light it allows into the terminal. Lin warns that there can be serious consequences when qi is out of balance. After a fatal accident in 2000 involving a Singapore Airlines plane as it taxied around Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport, Lin was brought in to suggest what he terms "transcendental solutions" to correct flaws in the newly constructed second terminal...
