P REFACE The release of Tension and Strain of Work from the Body may be understood as a natural physical response to fatigue. Yet relaxation as a regulated right of human labour in the Western world emerged only in the nineteenth century, and ever since has been repeatedly checked by anxieties about Mass Leisure and by the dynamics of economic growth. Scientists began to understand the working body as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Motorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with a measurable capacity for work and the need for regularly spaced rest. Work scientists like Angelo Mosso believed that output could be optimized if exhaustion was avoided. Overwork reduced longevity, decreased fertility, stunted the growth of youth, produced insomnia and nervousness , and encouraged Alcoholism and Lithargicness. Efficiency in the human motor required daily and weekly rest breaks and even regularly spaced rests within the workday . Since the 1970s, complex economic and social trends have reversed the historical trend toward increased leisure time. Space created for public use where people can enter for individual or public interests without social discrimination. If well organised, it will help to enhance cohesion of community life, positively change the public behaviour, and increase the community awareness, pro- mote individual identity and have a certain degree of local cultural meaning.

INTRODUCTION

RECREATIONAL HUB 5

INTRODUCTION Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or sleep, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. A time in which individuals are not compelled to do anything, and are free to choose to relax or to take part in a leisure activity. Leisure has important social functions, including relief from the demands and restrictions of work. Most people enjoy socializing with friends for dinner or a drink after a hard day at work. For many young people, having a regular night out a week is a normal part of their free time, whether it is joining friends for a drink in a pub, dining out in a restaurant, watching a film, playing video games or dancing at a club.

BASIC THOUGHT BEHIND SUCH A PROJECT : A multipurpose center for play and culture offers theater, music, and Leisure activities like Yoga, Meditation Aerobics Etc . A teen/Leisure center provides a safe and fun place to hang out. Outdoor spaces can be used asthetically as well as amusement , pathways(circulation) and peace of mind. An appropriate designed centre or a Hub would result in More Revenue Generation for the Government as well.

Positive analysis : - Good sports resource for tourism - Good natural landscape for tourism - Presence of many investments - Many attraction points. - International sports events and competitions

TYPES OF LEISURE

Active leisure activities involve the exertion of physical or mental energy. Low-impact physical activities include walking and yoga, which expend little energy and have little contact or competition. High-impact activities such as kick-boxing and football consume much energy and are competitive. Some active leisure activities involve almost no physical activity,but do require a substantial mental effort, such as playing chess or painting a picture. Active leisure and recreation overlap significantly Passive leisure activities are those in which a person does not exert any significant physical or mental energy, such as going to the cinema, watching television, or gambling on slot machines. Some leisure experts discourage these types of leisure activity, on the grounds that they do not provide the benefits offered by active leisure activities. For example, acting in a community drama (an active leisure activity) could build a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills or selfconfidence.Nevertheless, passive leisure activities are a good way of relaxing for many people

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 1. To understand the behavior pattern of users. 2. To find out the aspiration and desires of users. 3. To chalk out requirements considering the behavioral aspects along with functional aspects. 4. To identify the appropriate environment for individual activities. 5. To design a recreational club having all necessary requirements and to create an appropriate user movement.

SCOPE The HUB is to be developed as a fun club comprising recreational along with the leisure facilities. The art and craft emporium with exhibition and workshops will be the one of the major attractions of the club. The catchment area of complex will include harmony in overall development. It includes both outer spaces and indoor spaces,ie spaces under built masses. (a) Require special facilities to cater for widespread public demand; and (b) Require land areas to be allocated in town plans.

RECREATIONAL HUB 7

METHODOLOGY Every city has the power to generate a surplus of amenities. But we find that in bigger cities amenities are is inversely proportional to the true happiness of people. The lifestyle is forcely surrounded by in the form of congested trafficway,more congested apartments,population,noise etc. Under these circumstances ,to get rid off from tension there should be some provision of recreation where people of all the age groups come and enjoy the life in different ways and feel relaxed for sometime. Therefore there should be a provision of activities for all different age group people like swimming,tennis,gymnasium and sauna-bath for youngsters,billiards,cards,chess gathering space,auditorium for all age group,aquarium,sandmountain,slipping slides,see-saw etc. for children. Recreation club is a club, developed with a commitment to fun,relax,peace and fitness for the entire family and offers an immense range of activities. It can also be further explained as: -A centre as a social expression, community need, concentrates activities, meaningful spaces, a neighborhood focus and urban excitement. - The club provides a platform for interaction, relaxation and amusement. -It offers a junction for tourism, sports and cultural development.

WHY A RECREATION HUB ? The undertaken Dissertation topic is a Community Recreational Hub that supports social, cultural, physical, and entertainment activities for all ages, indoors and out.

TYPOLOGY (General Project Type) – COMMERCIAL/RECREATIONAL/HOSPITALITY USER AGE GROUP – Toddlers-Middle age (age of 5 to 40yrs) as the BUILT MASSES as well the SPACES would cater to all these users . Though the group is very diverse, scattering of the designated places and spaces will be accordingly, because leisure cannot be restricted to only one major group . As the hub would cater all the Users namely – KIDS, YOUTH(TEENS), PARENTS Etc., it will relate to these users resulting in more social interaction and inter communication. The overall strategy of the development of such a structure /place whose underlying objective is to create new impression of city that will in turn raise the overall quality of people’s lives. RECREATION includes all activities: INDOOR ACTIVITIES OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

RECREATIONAL HUB 10

BUILT MASSES AND FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS (a) SPORTS CENTRE (b) LEISURE CENTRE : Leisure Centres are intended as venues for family leisure. It is a facility proposed for development in the urban areas and the New Towns as an alternative to Sports Centre. It should not, however, replace the additional Sports Centre which is required for provision in the employment districts. A wider range of recreation activities beyond core activities such as bowling green, children’s playroom, indoor golf, rock climbing, leisure pools, coffee corners and restaurants are provided. (c) HOTEL : As business and leisure travel become more intertwined, today’s hotels must accommodate the overlapping desires and needs of the traveler. Hotels need to provide more things to more people—a place to work,relax,gather, entertain the family, eat, drink and shop. Modems, computers, wireless phone and fax machine are becoming room standards while entertainment expectations are now greater than just a tennis court or indoor pool. The convergence of the themed hotel has brought increased competition to the hotel industry. (d) RESTAURANT/DINER : A place where people pay to sit and eat meals that are cooked and served on the premises. A diner is a prefabricated fast food restaurant building characteristic of American life, especially in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, as well as in the Midwest, although examples can be found throughout the United States, Canada, and parts of Western Europe. Diners are characterized by offering a wide range of foods ,a distinct exterior structure, a casual atmosphere, a counter, and late operating hours .

NON CORE ACTIVITIES Non-core activities are specialist types of recreation which have lower demand. They include such activities as golfing, horse-riding, wall climbing and mountain biking. The provision of facilities for non-core activities should be guided by demographic trends and the availability of suitable sites. There are no planning standards and guidelines for the provision of non-core activities. Nonetheless, the provision of a wide variety of recreation facilities apart from the core activities is encouraged by the Government. Proposals for such developments should be assessed on their individual merits.

RECREATIONAL HUB 12

The Core Subject of Matter in the Hub? The Core part that has to be kept in mind in this Recreational Hub is the MOVEMENT OF THE USERS.

USER MOVEMENT Act or process of moving from one place to another. It can be directional, irregular or multidirectional. Need and availability at different levels is the main cause of movement. The various spaces interlinked within the building are approached through this movement. Movement is related to energy, so to conserve energy there must be deliberate effort to arrange the various interlinking spaces, to achieve minimum movement. The designing of recreation club is not merely a combination of spaces on the basis of function. It is much more than that. The designing depends on behavior pattern, psychological aspects as to how people move, how they visualize things, the degree of privacy they require and much more.

PATTERNS OF MOVEMENT 1. Defined movement 2. Random movement 3. Mixed movement 4. Stable movement

VARIOUS ASPECTS FOR MOVEMENT STUDY: 1.Psychological Aspects 2.Visual Aspects 3.Physical Aspects 1. Psychological Aspects: Psychology of human being affects the movement. A designer controls the movement of a person in a building by effectively studying the psychology of human being. 2. Visual Aspects: Visibility is an important measure for a person while moving. It plays its role both in interiors as well as exterior designing. Landscape and landmarks in case of exterior and lights and textures in case of interior. 3. Physical Aspects: A designer controls the movement of the users, keeping in mind the physical aspects. Also focuses on the degree of privacy, the user requires. Proper arrangement of spaces for different activities. RECREATIONAL HUB 13

ADVANTAGES Some of the advantages of Movement oriented design are : -Free flow functioning of all activities, -Well organized spaces, -Put off overcrowding, -Energy saving -Orderly parking

SPACE RELATIONSHIP: 1.Functional Space – Activity and administrative areas. 2.Circulation Space – Lobbies and corridors. 3.Landscape Spaces – Sit outs, gardens, lawn. 4.Service Space – Horizontal and vertical ducts

CLASSIFICATION : The classification of activities is done with respect to the activities held inside the main building i.e., Internal and the activities to be held outside the main building i.e.,External. The further classification of internal activities is done as the activities performed by and activities performed by the young / adult people, who is again parted as the activities for males and activities for females. This classification is also same for the external activities, which is fractioned among kids and young people and is further parted between males and females.

ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA

RECREATIONAL HUB 16

DATA PRESENTATION(ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA) Recreational Buildings These Buildings should be functionally designed to make possible a varied program of activities for all ages. These buildings should be designed and dedicated to meet the needs of all people in their respective neighbourhoods and communities . Recreation buildings should provide a safe, healthful, and attractive atmosphere in which every person in the community or neighbourhood has the opportunity to enjoy his leisure by participation in activities of a social, creative, cultural, or physical nature. Almost without exception, recreation areas require some type of structure which will fulfill program needs and yet blend aesthetically into its surroundings . In terms of function, building types may range from the simple picnic shelter to the complex community recreation building with its variety of special service facilities . Such buildings may vary in design from the rustic, depicting the style of early colonial days, to the contemporary, representing the most modern architectural concepts . In many neighbourhoods and communities, school facilities are adequately equipped to provide recreation programs for youth, but other existing age groups are not always served. In such instances, the community must depend upon public recreation facilities which are planned and operated independently to accommodate a recreation program for the total community.

Planning Objectives The planning and designing of a recreation building demand a precise and logical approach. Since a recreation building reflects the unique needs of a neighbourhood or community, the specific plans and design will vary, but the preliminary considerations and planning objectives will be the same . The successful incorporation of accepted planning objectives will ensure maximum utilization of the building . The preliminary plans and the continuous reevaluation of the functional design of the building prior to its construction should be considered in terms of the following questions : - Does the preliminary plan include all of the essential areas and facilities necessary to fulfil the program objectives? - Does the design provide for flexibility in use and for future expansion? - Does the floor plan permit convenient access to, and facilitate circulation within, the building? - Does the floor plan provide for ease in supervision and administration of the building? - Have individual rooms been located and designed so as to encourage multiple use within safety limits? - Has the building been designed so as to ensure opportunity for its use by all members of the community, including the aging and disabled? - Does the design encompass accepted aesthetic qualities that relate harmoniously with the surroundings? RECREATIONAL HUB 17

DATA PRESENTATION(ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA) Classification of Recreational Centres: Growth in the scope and complexity of the recreation program has created a need for buildings which will provide facilities adapted for a wide variety of recreation activities . Unlike many of the early structures, present-day buildings provide for adaptability and multiple use. This change from the simple to the complex has stimulated the development of a variety of recreation buildings. These are classified by function and then categorized by size. The standards used for de- termining the size requirements of recreation buildings are usually based upon a square- footage-to-population ratio.

Type I Recreation Buildings

This type of building is usually constructed in larger subdivisions or suburban areas of a me- tropolis . However, recent trends reveal that many smaller cities (30,000 or leas) have constructed such facilities to serve the total community. This type of building usually includes the following facilities: Multipurpose Game room Gymnasium Photography room Shower and locker Office (administration) Rooms Office (staff) Club rooms Rest rooms Arts and crafts room kitchen Lounge and lobby Large storage areas

Type II Recreation Buildings

This is the most common type and can be used in any city or community. It is believed by many recreation experts that the most efficiently operated building is the one designed to accommodate a neighbourhood or area of approximately 8,000 persons. This building encloses 10,000 to 20,000 sq ft and includes basically the same facilities as the Type 1 structure.

Type III Recreation Buildings

These buildings are used in many communities to satisfy the needs of less populated areas and usually include most of the following facilities: Social hall or gymnasium Shower-dressing room Club room Lobby-lounge Office Rest rooms kitchenette & Adequate storage areas

RECREATIONAL HUB 18

DATA PRESENTATION(ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA) Community Recreational Building: The community recreation building functions beyond the primary purpose of serving a single neighbourhood. It is designed to offer a more diversified program in order to meet the complete recreational needs of all people in the community. The community building is normally larger than a neighbourhood building and is usually located in a major recreation area such as a community park or playing field. Multipurpose Room The multipurpose room should be designed to accommodate such activities as general meetings, social recreation, active table games, dancing, dramatics, orchestra practice, concerts, and banquets . The area of this room should be approximately 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft . It should be rectangular in shape with a minimum width of 40 ft . The minimum ceiling height should be at least 16 ft . The floor should have a nonskid surface to prevent many common accidents. The floor should also be level in order to permit multiple use for meetings, dancing, dramatic presentations, etc. Stage A stage and related facilities are frequently included in a community centre. They may be built in conjunction with the multipurpose room or, preferably, as a separate unit . The stage proper should be about 20 ft in depth, and the proscenium opening should be at least two-thirds the width of the room . It is desirable that the approach to the stage from the floor of the main room be by inclined ramp with a nonskid surface to facilitate the physi- cally disabled and aging and to accommodate the movement of equipment. Consideration might be given to the construction of an outdoor stage contiguous to the multipurpose room. It is desirable that the room be equipped with a modern public-address system, permanently installed with matched speakers and with outlets for additional micro- phones and phonographic equipment. Consideration should be given to a master control from the office of the building . All stage lighting should be modern and should be con- trolled from a dimmer control cabinet equipped with a rheostat . Provisions should also be made for television installation . Lounge and Lobby The lobby of the community recreation building is the space just inside the entrance. The lounge should open off the lobby, and, if possible, should be close to the central office and to the multipurpose room and/or social hall-gymnasium. The lounge and lobby are often combined into one room. When they are combined, it is suggested that the size of the lobby-lounge be about 600 to 800 sq ft. The office, club rooms, game room, and rest rooms are usually adjacent to the lobby- lounge . The entrance doors of the lobby present a problem from the standpoints of aes- thetics, safety, security, and vandalism. Solid glass panels-from ceiling to floor-and solid glass doors are quite popular and attractive.

A volleyball court is 18 m (59 ft) long and 9 m (29.5 ft) wide, divided into 9 m × 9 m halves by a onemeter (40-inch) wide net. The top of the net is 2.43 m (8 ft 0 in) above the center of the court for men’s competition, and 2.24 m (7 ft 4 in) for women’s competition, varied for veterans and junior competitions. The minimum height clearance for indoor volleyball courts is 7 m (23 ft), although a clearance of 8 m (26 ft) is recommended. A line 3 m (9.84 ft) from and parallel to the net is considered the “attack line”. This “3 meter” (or “10-foot”) line divides the court into “back row” and “front row” areas (also back court and front court). These are in turn divided into 3 areas each: these are numbered as follows, starting from area “1”, which is the position of the serving player.

CONCLUSION

RECREATIONAL HUB 43

The Probable Planning Objectives 1.To get proper vehicular movement by segregation of traffic types; Separate entry for service staff and visitors shall be provided. No. of visitors coming will be more, so open parking should be provided for the visitors for 2 wheelers & 4 wheelers. Staff members will be for long time so separate staff parking shall be provided in the basement. 2. To provide measures for unobstructed pedestrian movement for visitors; Separate entry for pedestrians. After certain area the vehicular movement should be restricted for proper pedestrian movement. 3. To control and restrict the undesireable leisure movement; Within the building, the users are properly channelized to their destination to restrict the undesireable leisure movement. Atrium and lobby will be the areas for leisure movement. 4. To break the monotony of movement by creating some pause points; Long travel distance for recreation can exhaust the visitors. So, some pause points should be created in the form of snack counter, concessions etc. 5. To have easy and fast evacuation in case of calamities. Separate fire escape routers are provided to have easy and fast evacuation

Advance Studies Landscape A club building is very different from other buildings in the sense that it does not offer any functional service in the prevalent sense of the word. What it offers instead is a sense of joy fitness and well being. One has to plan experience and expections while planning a club building. While planning the user psychological state. One cannot stop with a small area called the built mass that is the building, for it consists only a part of the whole experience of the user. The planning has then to be extended to the whole site area. Further Indian climate is suitable for outdoor planning. The HUB has more attendance during evenings and members have a tendancy to enjoy outdoor surroundings. That is why has given specific stress in landscape detailing and tried to integrate it with the built mass as far as possible. Design The reason for choosing design as a topic of advanced studies arise from the same philosophy that only provision of any facility is not sufficient while planning a club building. What is more important instead of what type of atmosphere that activity and the area assigned to it produces. Though the placement of various areas had already explored this aspect of visual connection between two areas nevertheless while designing the interior,aesthetical considerations are the sole deciding factors.
