Climatic Analysis:

Sun Path and Temperature Range

• 20°C - 30°C is the comfort zone. • For the month of March, April, August, September and

October, the mean temperature lies in the comfort zone. • In the winter months i.e. January, February, November and December the mean temperature is below the comfort zone. Therefore, more sun exposure is required. • Whereas for summer months i.e. May, June, July it is above the comfort zone. Therefore, shading is required to block the sun.

Climatic Analysis:

Wind Rose and Wind Velocity

• Mean wind velocity is 1 m/s, and the average highest wind velocity goes as high as 4 m/s.

Therefore, wind velocity wouldn’t be a constraint while designing.

Design Guidelines:

Based on Climate Charts

Climate responsive buildings in hot windy dry climates use enclosed well shaded courtyards, with a small fountain to provide wind-protected microclimate.

Minimize or eliminate west facing glazing to reduce summer and fall heat gain. Shape a building so that it is elongated in the east-west direction.

Use plant materials especially on the west to minimize heat gain. Good natural ventilation can reduce or eliminate air conditioning in warm weather, if windows are well shaded and oriented to prevailing breezes.

Screened porches and patios can provide comfort cooling by ventilation and prevent insect problems. Long narrow building floor plan can help maximize cross ventilation.

Observation Inference

Immediate context of site is majorly residential and reserved forest lands. It would be crucial to respond the needs of residential colonies and provide a holistic and inclusive environment for them with the intervention. Along with this the greens from reserved forest shall also be respected and integrated with the site in a sustainable, porous and inclusive manner.

Context Mapping:

Precinct and Neighbourhood

Observation

Site is surrounded by a mix of various different typologies.

Inference

The site is pretty rich in the form that there exists a diversity of functions in the context of the site.

Inference

Site is highly porous, and majorly the built-up is towards the east of the site.
