Traditional Georgian house interior (Kartli region)

Không có mô tả ảnh.

Darbazi is a building culture originating in the eastern part of Georgia and can be dated back to the early Bronze Age. One of the earliest descriptions of Darbazi is conveyed by the Roman architect, Vitruvius, who characterizes Darbazi with a wooden dome, stone walls and wooden pillars.

It is dug into the surrounding terrain and is therefore deeply rooted. Through the use of primitive materials such as stone, stamped floors and green roofing, Darbazi is intertwined with the landscape. And thus its solid structure, it is still somewhat exposed to the whims of the earth.

Ornaments are opposite from the Oda-house, storytelling motifs related to the culture and traditions of Darbazi and the local environment from where it came.

From the dim light of the fireplace; the core of the cave-like structure that Darbazi truly is, the mother-pillar casts its shadows on a stone bed as the sparks fly upwards.

THE MOTHER COLUMN

The “Mother Pillar” is, as it implies by name, the load barrier of the main structure of Darbazi – the wooden dome that breaks through the hill and out in the open. It is best made out of oak to hold a higher pressure. The indiginous mother pillar would be an existing tree rooted underneath the wooden dome and with its branches to support the construction. Over decades it has been reshaped into a ram with horns overlooking the fireplace.
