Astronomy is a science based method of observation which relies on a rich history of research, exploration and demonstrations. Astrology is a bullshit filled grab-bag of ancient superstitions with no relevance to the real world. Which one is it that your are working with?

What do you need help on? Figuring out how to ensure it works? Suggesting design elements? Showing you which way is North?

astrology isn't any less relevant than a lot of the crap tossed around in archibabble circles.

sounds like you need a sun diagram?  Why not make it so that the sun comes through an opening and aligns with a lens on the day of the marriage vaporizing the groom and bride with a death ray.  That sounds like more fun!

Curt, I agree.

If I see one more parti based on points of interest hundreds of miles (even blocks, really) away from the site I might vomit.

But think about the building's "chi"

here is an idea

I work for an Indian architecture firm in the U.S. - anyway, if you know Revit, you can set up a model where you can set your model to true north, then set the sun angle to what it would be during homa kundam - and  design to accommodate the light during this  time phase.

Oh yeah!!!  That would be =so= cool!!!!! 

I'm a real aficionado of ancient architecture, especially buildings with astronomically aligning properties.

Examine slit shaped openings... Those were a popular method of marking solar time.  You should be able to conceive something incorporating that technique.  You need to make the slits like gun ports in old castles... So the sunlight is shaded by narrow edges, which will prolong the effect.  Use your CAD / BIM system to place the building in it's correct geographic context, and it should be pretty easy.  If it goes forward, just be sure to mock it up on site before construction and check your scheme against the sky to get it 'right-on'.

thanks for your comments.

I am doing a study on this topic 'Astronomy in Architecture'..

Astronomy as design parameter in buildings. To explore the idea of bringing the sun rays to touch a specific spot at a specific time on a specific date in an annually recurring manner.

To expand this idea to making changes in the oreintation,fenestration of the built form and to let the beholder experience the beauty of the full moon, new moon,celestial zodiac star formations from with in the house or certain areas of the built form.

To make architectural design sensitive to the macro universe and enriching the experience of the human inside the built form through precise astronomy.

Memorials, Marriage halls,Observatories,I S R O, and even Malls, Commercial and residential projects could benefit from this study. Apart from having overall impact on the way urban design and street orientation could result in greater sensitivity and spatial celestial experience to the common citizen. 

Archaeoastronomy. Search it!

I align openings in windows, walls, shadows using ArchiCAD all the time.

An architecture professor of mine way back lit the altar of the church on Easter Sunday in all of his projects.  All the ancient cultures have done the same for 1,000's of years.
