Abstract The aim of this article is to acquaint specialists of the landscape building with the energyinformative approach as a basis of landscape harmonization. A comparative analysis of different park building styles from the perspectives of “western” and “eastern” traditions was given. It was shown that the idea of anthropocentrism with a pronounced human intervention into the changes of the landscape dominates in the “western” tradition. The main accent in the “eastern” tradition is made on the energetic space harmonization, where a human is seen only as one of the nature components. Such approach is reflected in the traditional Chinese system called Feng Shui, which is consistent with the modern energyinformative paradigm, according to which the primary basis of matter is energy. Groups of factors (geogenic radiation, inhomogeneities of the geological structure of the area, the presence of underground watercourses, features of the relief, etc.) that influence the energetic indicators of a landscape were reviewed. It allows to modernly interpret old Chinese doctrine Feng Shui in the landscape building and make it more understandable to western specialists. Such approach is rational to use for of the overall landscape energy evaluation, examination of a territory for defining anomaly spots (especially with the pathogen influence), functional zoning, optimization of the specie composition and the spatial structure of tree plantations, meshing of paths web, elements of a park composition placing etc. It will allow to make the space more harmonized, increase esthetical value of the landscape, and enforce its recreational effect. For the definition of the appropriate landscape parameters was proposed a method of biolocation (dowsing). The questions of the further develop of the biolocational method as well as practical processing and preparation of the relevant specialists still remain actual problems.
