The canonical hours observed during the fast typically include:
The (Great Lent) is the most significant fasting period in the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church , representing a 50-day journey of spiritual renewal, repentance, and preparation for the Resurrection of Christ. Central to this observance is the Valiya Nombu Namaskaram , a structured order of daily prayers that guides the faithful through the canonical hours of the day. The Significance of Valiya Nombu
Constant engagement with the Namaskaram and Holy Bible. Almsgiving: Sharing resources with those in need. Structure of the Great Lent Namaskaram
The Valiya Nombu Namaskara Kramam (Worship Order) differs from the standard Shehimo (Common Prayers) used during ordinary time. These Lenten prayers are characterized by a deep sense of humility and the inclusion of specific petitions known as (supplications).
The "Great Fast" (Sawmo Rabo) is not merely about abstaining from food; it is a "spiritual weapon" used to conquer internal passions such as hatred, greed, and pride. The Church looks to biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus—who all fasted for 40 days—as champions of this discipline. Key spiritual pillars during this season include: Refraining from meat, dairy, and eggs.

When designing, we need to be in touch with the various spaces we use. After all, we are not termites -- who live inside built matter of the walls. An architect is quite interested in knowing how the spaces are inter-related, and whether they
would work for our users. The walls come as a bye-product of having made these spaces.
TAD respects such an approach. That is why it is very easy to start designing directly in TAD itself. It is like having a scratch pad handy.
But if you think this is just a bubble diagramming too ... well, it is not. You can even create the entire model; including the built matter that is present in the building.
What it does NOT do is drafting. For that, you can easily export from TAD and use the regular CAD software that you were using earlier.
The adjoining photo shows the internal stack through the tiny row-house.
The west wall has a bit of glass blocks. It not just lights up the space
but it drives the air inside the stack. This is a intricate vertical space
that goes through the row house to provide ventilation -- all modelled
inside TAD
TAD helps you iteratively design. Like a potter at work. At any point in time, you can extract objective information such as areas, distances and so on. What is the point of designing a building only to realize at the final stages that some
mathematical criteria was not right?
This capability of querying into the design is very powerful. TAD has a built in language called "ARDELA" (ARchitectural DEsign LAnguage) That can be used to create add-ons to provide additional querying functionality. These add-ons probe into
your model and provide you answers.
We would be releasing a marketplace for these probes -- and also a simple way for you to write your own probes too
The adjoining photo, a small gazebo kind of space was carved out on the
terrace on one part of the split-level in the rowhouse. An ARDELA area
add-on (probe) did all the calculations. We were then confident that we
can get that semi-enclosed space, without it being counted by the municipality
(in India, these area calculations are known as FSI calculations)
Over 3 million of actual built projects done over last 30 years. (From the office that created TAD) Scores of unbuilt ones

For far too long, we architects have not asked ourselves how we may do a better job in this world. Instead we just relied on some outside expertise and hand-me-downs. Let us rise and think for ourselves.
