MODEL Purgatory

The idea for this concept was inspired by tight spaces and long hallways. The design is intended make a person fell compressed until they enter the major heirarchy in the room, the space opens up.

The Workshop Out of the three concepts that were developed to meet the standards for the project, the concept that best met the requirements is concept 2. This idea was taken steps further to be fully developed into the final product. “The Workshop�

This Workshop concept meets both ADA requirements and the required amount of square feet that the project allowed

Research, Document, Translate and Apply ​the detailed construction and environmental response of precedent examples to the assembly of your own Art House design. Using the techniques discussed in class and the assembly methods utilized in your precedent, design an appropriate response to a condition presented by your building and its orientation. You will utilize physical models, digital models and drawings to execute.

The Ritual (Zoroastrain) Project 2

Precedent poster

Research, Interpret, Explore ​and Propose t​he design of a sequential series of spaces to frame aspecific set of cultural rituals. You will create spaces with specific ideas of section, light, path, threshold and transition. Spaces should be shaped to fit the requirements and expressive intention of each ritual act.

Preparation

The Haoma plant is the source for the essential ingredient for the parahaoma), the consecrated liquid that constitutes the offering In Zoroastrian tradition, two independent preparations of parahaoma are made for the offering.

Both preparations must be made between sunrise and noon, in the Hawan gah, the “time of pressing”. The time of day of the Yasna service is itself dictated by this restriction. The first parahaoma is prepared during the preliminary rites in which the site of worship is consecrated. The second parahaoma preparation occurs during the middle third of the Yasna service.

A Ritual in Three Acts First pressing

Pressing (Creation)

In the first parahaoma, which is prepared immediately prior to the Yasna service , the leaves or small twigs from the pomegranate tree are cut into pieces, and together with the consecrated haoma twigs and a little consecrated water are repeatedly pounded and strained.

The liquid is retained in a bowl, while the twig and leaf residue is placed next to the fire to dry.

Mixing (Purification)

Second pressing

The second parahaoma preparation occurs during the middle third of the Yasna service. It is prepared by the celebrant priest of the Yasna and is essentially the same as the first, but includes milk, and is accompanied by even more pounding and straining.

This second parahaoma preparation begins with the recitation of Yasna 22, and continues until the beginning of Yasna 28 . During the recitation of Yasna 25, the priest dedicates the mixture to “the waters” , which mirrors the purpose of the parahaoma preparation.

The mortar remains untouched during the recitation of Yasna 28-30. Finally, during the recitation of Yasna 31-34, the priest pounds the mixture a last time and then strains the liquid into the bowl that also contains the first parahaoma. The twig and leaf residue from the second parahaoma is also placed next to the fire to dry.

Offering

Returning (Offering)

Yasna 62 marks the beginning of the final stage of the Yasna service. At the beginning of the recitation of that chapter, the priest who made the first parahaoma moves the (now dry) twig and leaf residue from next to the fire into the fire itself. Although this is done at a specific point during the recitation of the liturgy, the burning of the residue is not an offering to the fire, but the ritually proper way to dispose of combustible consecrated material.

Yasna 62.11 also marks the beginning of the actual ab-zohr. During the following recital of Yasna 62, 64, 65 and 68, the celebrant repeatedly pours the combined parahaomas between two bowls and the mortar, such that, by the end of Yasna 68, all three vessels contain the same amount of liquid.

The service then concludes with the recitation of Yasna 72, immediately after which the priest carries the mortar with parahaoma to a well or stream. There, in three pourings, libations are made to the waters (Aban), accompanied by invocations to Aredvi Sura Anahita. The remaining parahaoma in the two bowls is given to persons attending the ceremony. Since the liquid, in its ritually pure state, is considered beneficial, participants may choose to drink a little of it, or provide some to infants or the dying.

The remainder is poured away on the roots of fruit-bearing trees.
