Abstract

Architecture and astronomy have been  deeply related since ancient times. Astronomy is a natural  science that manages the investigation of divine items, (for  example, the moon, planet, stars, universes) the material  science, science, and advancement of such articles; and  marvels that begin outside the air of Earth. Astronomy is  one of the oldest sciences. Architecture has become an  important part of the study of astronomy through old times.  Since old occasions, overall observatories have been built  up by the ruler and individuals. You find out through  different kinds of Architecture use possible as an  astronomy study Example like Egypt pyramid, The Jantar  Mantar, Stonehenge, etc. Architectural space made for  astronomy enhances the experience of the study of  Astronomy. Since ancient times people have known about  the importance of astrology. They use astrology even in  their daily life as a calendar, rituals, etc. Today government  is trying to establish advanced forms of observatories. The  core idea of the present study was to understand cultural  and symbolic dimensions existing due to the relationship  between Astronomy and Architecture. The present paper  discusses the ideas of the builders of the observatories  through various case studies and also the importance of the  building typology along with understanding the study of  cultural relationships on symbolism is been discussed.
