Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Historically, architecture throughout the world has had
a deeper meaning embedded in it through cosmological
symbolism, cultural beliefs of the locals, and context-driven
designs. Buildings in the past were built around religious,
cultural, and traditional beliefs, thus binding together the
whole community and connecting them on a larger scale to
a sublime and transcendental essence. The cosmos taught
early civilizations a way to live in harmony with one another
and nature. As civilizations grew, celestial observations
provided the premise for bringing together people into
commerce, science, and religion. Historically, architecture
throughout the world has had a deeper meaning embedded
in it through cosmological symbolism, cultural beliefs of the
locals, and context-driven designs.
