95 % OF THE VILLAGE IN DAHEJ-BHARUCH AREA HAVE PONDS,
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PONDS = RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VILLAGES
01. identification of irrigation canal
03. identification of control points
02. identification of waterway from irrigation canal to each ponds
04. identification of clusters and hierarchy within them
05. indexting of pond/village that the control points are responsible for

Connection Network Water Built Environment Site Area
left bottom image: highlighted area = selectted site to work with <potential for future growth> -adjacent to bharuch -between two major highway
<condition> -lack of walk oriented network between villages -extremely hot climate ....cross ventilation,stack ventilation as technique to improve existing condition
EXTRACT MESH FROM SITE creation of base mesh in a way that it reinforces network between villages
1. define territory for villages in relation to location of surrounding villages
2. create network that is denser at the center of cell
3. select network that is bridging secelted villages

base mesh
investigate size of cells
identify cells that are intersecting with existing infrastructure

identify direction of movement between villages
cells that are out of movement range defined as shared public space

DEFORMATION OF MESH one ruleset deforms each cells in different ways. overall pattern emerges as a result of the operation at each steps.

base mesh
scale cells in order to allow each cells to act individualy
apply catalog study to mesh
recompose cells
treat recomposed cells as block. divide the block into smaller component.
relationship between adjacent cells introduce public space to the block
travel direction introduces secondary path into each blocks
inlet
opening is always on sw side of cell to let precailing wind come in. outlet opening is et in relationship to direction of travel. higher rank from catalog is picked if there are more than two options.
