Space perceived and experienced through movement presents an interesting array of imagery which blends together to form a comprehensive whole. My thesis explores this dimension of spatial complexity through the public ritual of pilgrimage. This profound and deeply significant human activity connects the individual places to form an integrated sacred network. The practice of pilgrimage has developed over centuries across the globe and continues to grow and influence a huge cross section of society to come together and move en-masse towards religious centres and personal enlightenment. Public spaces demand a simultaneous co-existence of people, activities and their setting. The phenomenon of pilgrimage is central to the public realm. Its study involves an intricate layering of beliefs, customs, traditions and religion which collectively govern the people-space relationship. The transformation of a space to a place, from static to dynamic, from passive to active occurs during this activity, maintaining the traditional usage while simultaneously evolving as a product of interaction between people, rituals and spaces. In this thesis, I examine the experiential shaping of space which occurs through pilgrims' activities and their impacts on the given urban and architectural conditions. The research is based on my study of the Alandi-Pandharpur Pilgrimage in India. It is an outcome of my participation in the ritual as, both, an architect and a pilgrim. I focus on the existing public spaces and their spontaneous response to the unplanned activity of the Pilgrimage. The spatial experience transcends the criteria of aesthetics and functionality of a public space to a deeper exploration of human characteristics and convictions. From this perspective, the thesis considers the broader role of designed public spaces, the extent of inclusion of community rituals and their significance in the shaping of built environment.

Esta dissertação trata da História do Padre Cícero, que viveu entre 1844 e 1934 no Ceará. Juazeiro foi o lugarejo para onde foi como Padre, permanecendo aí até a sua morte. Apesar de ter construído a Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora das Dores nunca foi seu vigário. Sua presença teria sido a de um pastor dedicado ao rebanho, justamente naquilo que a Igreja lhe pedia, não fosse o Milagre da hóstia ensangüentada na boca da beata Maria de Araújo. Este fato haveria de transtornar a vida de Padre Cícero e em conseqüência disso transformou Juazeiro na Cidade Santa, que atrai multidões de Romeiros vindos de toda parte. Padre Cícero viu-se então envolvido em muitos conflitos. Sempre alvo de muitas incompreensões, foi tido como anátema pela Igreja. Na prática, foi excomungado, apesar de não ter tomado conhecimento do documento de excomunhão chegado para ele. Defendido e condenado ao mesmo tempo por muitos, foram, no entanto, os romeiros que sustentaram essa história de Padre Cícero e do Juazeiro com muita fidelidade e resistência pacífica. O desejo de reabilitação histórica, pastoral e eclesial cresceu dentro da própria Igreja Católica. De forma oficial, a pedido do Vaticano e coordenado pelo seu Bispo diocesano, Dom Fernando Panico, abre-se o processo de reabilitação histórica de Padre Cícero. Buscar as razões que proporcionaram a mudança do anátema ao acolhimento pastoral foi o grande objetivo de nossa pesquisa / This dissertation treats of Father Cícero's History, who lived between 1844 and 1934, in Ceará. Juazeiro was the village where he was a Priest, staying there until his your death. He built the church of Our Lady of the Pains, without, however, being the pastor. His presence would have been the one of a shepherd dedicated to the flock, exactly what the Church asked him, don't root the "Miracle" of the Host bloody in the bigot's mouth of the pious Maria de Araújo. This fact would transform Father Ciceros life and subsequently make Juazeiro, into the Holly City, that attracts crowds of Pilgrims, who came from everywhere. Father Cícero saw himself, then, involved in many conflicts. Always missunderstood he was seen as a curse by the Church. In practice, he was "excommunicated ", however, he was not aware of any formal excommunication. Simultaneously protected and condemned by many, it was the pilgrims however, who sustained the favoravle reputation of Father Cícero and Juazeiro, by fidelity and peaceful resistance. The desire of historical rehabilitation, both pastoral and ecclesiastical grew inside the Catholic Church. In an official way, the Vaticans request, coordinated by the diocesan Bishop, Dom Fernando Panico, started the process of historical rehabilitation of Father Cícero. Looking for the reasons that reasons that motivated the change of the "curse into the pastoral reception, was the major objective of our research

In this regard, we survey the development of St. Senhorinha de Basto’sworship ,the flow of pilgrims who flocked at the tomb of this saint looking for a relief for a variety of diseases that ravaged them. Senhorinha de Basto (925- 982) was a religious of the monastery of St. João de Vieira, from which she had become an abbess, in the 10th century, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, within the Archdiocese of Braga. In order to analyze this pilgrimage and miracles performed through the intercession of St. Senhorinha de Basto we used as a source the hagiographic report Vita Beatae Senorinae Virginis ,written in the twenty century, by a Benedictine monk of the Monastery of San Miguel de Refojos de Basto, located in northern Iberian Peninsula. Our purpose in this work will investigate stem from the hagiography Santa Senhorinha some of the medievalist religiosity features, such as the pilgrimage and the pursuit of miracles. / As peregrinações ocuparam um espaço importante na fé do homem medieval, bem como os milagres que tiveram papel crucial na religiosidade do medievo. Neste sentido, observamos o desenvolvimento do culto à Santa Senhorinha de Basto, o fluxo de peregrinos que afluíam junto ao túmulo da santa em busca de alívio para as mais diversas enfermidades que os assolavam. Senhorinha de Basto (925-982) fora uma religiosa do mosteiro de São João de Vieira, do qual se tornara abadessa, no século X, no noroeste da Península Ibérica, no território da Arquidiocese de Braga. Para analisarmos esta peregrinação e os milagres realizados pela intercessão de Santa Senhorinha de Basto, utilizamos como fonte o relato hagiográfico Vita Beatae Senorinae Virginis, redigido no século XII, por um monge beneditino do Mosteiro de São Miguel de Refojos de Basto, localizado no norte peninsular. Nosso objetivo nesta dissertação será investigar a partir da hagiografia de Santa Senhorinha alguns dos aspectos característicos da religiosidade medieval, como o peregrinar e a busca por milagres.
