Module 1: Object drawing

Ratnagiri Site Plan Compilation

We study the mechanism of the object we have chose and understand why is it created or designed in that specific way. We try to view the exploded view of the object to see how it works and what parts are used for it to work the way it does.

Why a Shrine?

Poseidon, also known as the god of the sea was worshiped in the village of mirya earlier. The villagers' economy was completely based on fishing. The villagers for some reason stopped worshiping the sea god and started believing in a different divine source. They built a temple for the ‘mahapurush’ just at the start of the village. Years and years after they just started forgetting the sea god and hence it is believed that the sea god has gained anger on these Mirya people. He also started showing signs like there have been many storms in recent years also in every monsoon the entire village gets filled with water thrown by the sea. The fishing rate has also decreased since many of the fishermen have decided to opt for a more secure job with a fixed paycheck. 

To calm the sea god and let him accept us back in his eternal self we are building a place of worship or a place to remember and appreciate him for all he has done for us. A small site for everyone to hang around, talk to each other , relax with the pleasant breeze and the sound of gentle waves coming to the seashore. I feel that The shrine cannot have an idol because apart from the Greek mythology no one really knows how and what the sea god looks like. Also the villagers won't really believe the reek mythology. It would be so amazing to just place the shrine where the ways hit the most to let the little droplets and sprinkles fall on your face and feel the refreshing wind to cool them off. They can also choose a day once a year to celebrate the sea god. The shrine can be a gate way to all your disturbed thoughts. A shaded place to come and release all the bad energy, maybe come and have food, sleep and what not. And like a sirens lullaby the ocean with its melody will tranquil everyone.
