Chapter 02 The chorkhona
Field notes 03 / 12

A ceiling that gathers light

Four layers of light

Light begins at the roof

The rauzan turns a dark room into a measured square of sky.

01 / opening

Four frames hold the threshold

Each chorkhona tier steps inward: earth, water, air, then fire.

02 / sequence

The pillars keep the room in order

Five named posts carry memory from the entry beam to the central opening.

03 / structure

A house gathers people under one roof

Smoke-darkened timber, mud plaster, and one overhead source make the room legible.

04 / dwelling
