 The Sphere appears as the positive complement to the inverted dome, nestled within a curved pedestal like a pearl in the heart of a concrete oyster shell.

 Landscaped pathways spiral outward from pedestal, around the exterior of the planetarium, resonating the elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun.

 The sweeping green space creates an embracing addition in a city crowded at the seams with new development, provides further external exhibitory to supplement the museum program, including a 24-meter-high solar telescope.

Conclusion

 Astronomy was the important element used by ancient people in every aspect of life, including their architecture.

 From Stonehenge, its study and science had inspired other cultures to modify ancient practices according to there needs and this process continued and gave others an idea to create something better and more useful for their time according to their needs.

 From bronze age to shanghai Planetarium complexity has increased but they all have a single mainstay, Astronomy that always binds them together.

 Archeoastronomy has its own significance in the field of architecture and the modern-day designers are more concerned for making use of prehistoric elements in their design as a dominant feature by adding complexity according to their time and needs.

 Having a thorough research on archeoastronomy and presented case studies of modern architecture it is understood that both Architecture and Archeoastronomy are interrelated, and each has an impact on other as both are dependent on each other.

 There is no impact on Astronomy without both as it is naturally occurred but archeoastronomy and architecture are dependent on astronomy as sky is the priority of man.

 Hence an extensive study is required to understand celestial objects, movement of sun and stars and how these celestial objects have an intensive impact on architecture of prehistoric and today.

 Certain case studies are presented in this paper for understanding the relationship of archeoastronomy, with architecture and astronomy, but there is a lot more study required for understand the complex relation between these fields and more work is required in the field of architecture for better understanding of our future having a concern of present.
