Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: archive.org: Bharatiya vastu-sastraPractical Experience.—An architect, howsoever well-versed in the traditional science, if he is not a master builder, unskilled in the work, must become nervous in actual operations. Like a timid man on the battle-field he must faint at the time of action. Conversely, an architect skilled in action but ignorant of the Śāstra is also not a happy type. He is like a helpless blind fellow to be helped by others in his movements (walking and building). [...] What is the Karma? The text gives the first priority to site-planning, then come the measurements, proportions in all respects—māna, unmāna, etc. After this follows the soil-examination with practical prescribed tests to ascertain whether a site is fit for an architectural undertaking. All this is related to the ground-plan. [...] Besides this practical experience, the mastery of another eight-fold skill beginning with ālekhya (painting), lepyajāta (clay-moulding etc.), Dārukarma (timber-work), Gaya, the masonry and the art of sculpture and metallurgy are also enjoined by the text [i.e., the Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra].
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
