Abstract

From the incessant study of the shape and motion of the earth and the celestial bodies that influence human life comes a gaze towards the heavens that stems from an interest in understanding and describing natural phenomena scientifically determined by astronomical and astrophysical characteristics that mark the passing of time and seasons. The ancient mystery linked to astronomical phenomena, and which has always been associated with the relationship with the sacred and the divinity, is investigated in those sophisticated architectural devices capable of establishing a direct relationship between earth and sky. The symbolic form of architecture and the control of its relationship with the stars constitute the center of interest of the great architects who recognise the character and spirit of an architecture in the capacity of its space to establish relationships between dimension, structure and light.
