I 'm really amused by the content you have provided for Vaastu. And especially by

It would be interesting to know more about its origin.

Bingo

Vaastu exists in the Vedas...

This is a piece of information I'd like to share with you regarding the origin of Vaastu which has of now become a trend in all real estate developments.

Vaastu Shastra is a part of Vedas and is believed to have originated four to five thousand years ago. Excerpted from the Stapatya Veda, a part of the Atharva Veda; the principles of Vaastu Shastra set during those days were based purely on the effect of sunrays on a structure during different times of the day.

Considered a purely technical subject, Vaastu Shastra was restricted only to the architects and their kin who were authorized to make observations and corrections made were after comprehensive screening of the situation.

Ancient scriptures on Vaastu Shastra define Vaastu on the basis of two forces - positive and negative which are on constant interaction with each other on the surface of the land.
