Architecture and Civil Engineering – Vāstu Vijñānam
(Contemporary and traditional knowledge and practices in built environment)
Vāstu Vijñānam is the sacred science of designing spaces in harmony with nature, cosmic rhythms, and human well-being. Drawing from texts like Vāstuśāstra and Nagaravidhāna, it blends aesthetics, utility, and dharma. Traditional architecture, guided by Jyotiṣa and pañcamahābhūtas (five elements), created spiritually resonant, climate-responsive structures. Today, its principles inspire sustainable urban planning, integrating modern technologies like green buildings, energy-efficient materials, and smart design systems.
We invite abstracts and papers exploring (but not limited to) the following areas:
• Foundational Texts and Principles of Vāstu Vijñānam
• Cosmic Alignment and Jyotiṣa Integration
• The Role of Pañcamahābhūtas in Spatial Design
• Traditional Indian Town Planning and Civil Engineering (Jānapadābhiyāntrikī)
• Material Science in Vāstu: Natural, Local, and Sustainable Resources
• Climate-Responsive and Bioclimatic Architecture
• Integration of Modern Technologies with Vāstu Principles
• Vāstu in Contemporary Urban and Rural Housing
• Spiritual Ecology and Architecture as a Living Entity
