CONCLUSION OF THE SITE HISTORY

TERMINOLOGY

Types of fishing boat’s

BERTH Open berths feature structures supported by piles set slightly off shore from the natural extent of the land or the farthest extent of fill dirt .This style of berth can offer more flexibility in the specificity of construction but also presents more complicated dredging projects.

What is sea trawlers? Trawling is a method of fishing that involves pulling a fishing net through the water behind one or more boats The net used for trawling is called a trawl.

How big is a trawler? Trawlers are 15-25m in length, utilize crews of 3-5 people,

How deep can trawlers fish? Commercial fishermen operate at the Depth down to 1500m ,In some cases 300om .

BREAKWATER Breakwaters can be constructed with one end linked to the shore, otherwise they are positioned offshore from as little as 100 m up to 300-600 m from the original shoreline.

How big are deep fishing nets? The net is typically 15m deep and it picks up everything in its path. fish, turtles, dolphins as well as commercial fish.

What is trolling boat? Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, bait fish, are drawn through the water. Trolling is used both for recreational and commercial fishing

How big is a commercial trolling boat ? Trolling are 10-20 m in length , width varies from 35m. It is a economical and efficient way of catching fish swimming close to the surface.

How big is a recreational trolling boat? This boat are of 3-8m in length , 1.5 - 3 width. Trolling is used in big game fishing to catch large offshore or open water species .

Traditional fishing For centuries, India has had a traditional practice of fish culture in small ponds. Significant advances in productivity were made in the early nineteenth century with the controlled breeding of carp in tanks where river conditions are simulated. Brackish water farming was done on an old system where man-made impediments in coastal wetlands and salt resistant deep water paddy fields. Moreover, traditional fishing methods have been in practise in central and south India for 2000 years.

QUAYA Quay is, technically, a part of the river bank or coastline which has been modified so ships can dock at it parallel to the shore

PIERS IN MARINE STRUCTURES

Piers are built normal to the shore and extended from land along the edge of sea into the deep water and either side of piers can be applied for berthing .


CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

1. SITE WAS IN RECTANGLE SHAPE NEXT TO DOCKING YARD

2. WHOLESALE MARKET AND AUCTION HALL R GIVEN IN GF TO HAVE GOOG VENTILATION, BUILDING IS ALSO ORIENTED IN WIND DIRECTION

3. FRETAILS ARE TON 1ST FLOOR WITHOUT DISTURBING THE WHOLESALE ACTIVITIES, CENTER BIG COURTYARD IS PROVIDED

1. BASIC RECTANGLE IS DRAWN ON SITE OPPOSITE TO THE WIND DIRECTION ,TO MAKE A BUILDING VENTILATE THROUGHOUT AND HAVE GOOD VIEW OF WATER

2. .THE CENTER OF THE BLOCK IS TAKEN OUT TO MAKE A COURTYARD

3. HE EDGES’ OF THE RECTANGLE ARE MADE CURVE , SO THAT WILL ENHANCE THE VISUAL CONNECTION IN PUBLIC BUILDING

Architecture style of mangalore Mangalore tiles (also Mangalorean tiles) This are a type of tile native to the city of Mangalore, India. Typically considered to be a part of Spanish and Italian architectural styles They are exported to Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and the Far East and even as far as East Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia. The German missionary set up the first tile factory at Mangalore in 1860,[1] after he found large deposits of clay by the banks of the Gurupura and Nethravathi rivers. It was called "The CommonWealth Trust Ltd.“ They provide excellent ventilation especially during summer and are aesthetically pleasing as well. These tiles are not only eco-friendly but also cheap, durable and costs only one third of that of cement. Some of the buildings which are over 100 years old still have tile roofing. Clay tiles are most apt for roofing solutions in coastal areas, and in regions that experience heavy rainfall. Toady only about 12 out of 42 tile industries are surviving and producing at a much lower capacity ..

4. SEGREGATING AREA AND GREEN SPACES ARE ADDED WITH LOADING DOCK

4. CENTER WATERBODY IS CREATED TO HAVE COOL BREEZE INSIDE BUILDING DURING SUMMERS

Vernacular house (GUTHU MANE) Characterized by sloping roofs with Mangalore tiles and huge courtyards that overlook paddy fields houses had a veranda that acted as a sit-out and beautiful doors made from intricately carved teakwood or rosewood. Ornate and exquisitely carved wooden pillars adorned the interiors of the inner courtyard. These pillars upheld a decorated wooden ceiling, which usually had representations of mango and floral designs, foliage, and coin motifs.

5. TOP VIEWS OF THE FISH MARKET WITH MANGALORE TILE ROOF

MANGALORE TRADITION STILES

5. ACCORDING TO THE AREA REQUIREMENTS 2 FLOOS ARE DESIGNED WITHOUT RESTRICTING AIR FLOW INSIDE

6. VERNACULAR STYLE OF PITCHED ROOF IS USED AND VIEW POIN IS DESIGNED
