TEMPERATURE

IN COMMERCIAL ZONES, PLOTS WHICH ARE ABUTTING ROADS 10 METERS WIDE AND LESS, SHALL HAVE FRONT SETBACK OF 5 METERS

Land Use Map

Drainage Methods

DEPENDING ON THE TOPOGRAPHY , BIOSWALES AND RAIN GARDENS CAN BE USED TO DEAL WITH EXCESS SURFACE RUNOFF OR DRAINAGE

BIOSWALES ENSURE THAT EXCESS WATER AND DEBRIS THAT MAY ENTER , GET FILTERED AND EXCESS , CLEANER WATER IS LET OUT.

DRAINAGE DIRECTION

AREA FOR FUTURE EXPANSION

Microclimate

THE LARGE WATER BODY NEARBY WILL EXPERIENCE HIGH LEVELS OF EVAPORATION , WHICH WILL ALSO INCREASE THE MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE AIR THE ASSOCIATED UPTAKE OF LATENT HEAT PROVIDES AND ADDITIONAL DAYTIME COOLING EFFECT.

THE WATER BODIES OPERATE AS THE COOLING SOURCE ON THE MICROCLIMATE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE AIR IS FILTERED BY THE TREES LINING SITE BOUNDARIES .

SCALE 1:1500

AFTER 36.00 MTS. HEIGHT THE SIDE/REAR SETBACKS SHALL BE INCREASED BY 1.00 MTR., FOR EVERY 4.00 MTS. ADDITIONAL HEIGHT, PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE MAXIMUM SETBACK WHICH CAN BE INSISTED BY THE AUTHORITIES SHALL BE ATLEAST 15.00 MTS., IRRESPECTIVE OF THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.

Vegetation

VEGETATION FROM MIDDLE AREAS OF THE SITE CAN BE TRANSPLANTED INTO OTHER AREAS , DIFFERENT TREE SPECIES CAN BE USED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES LIKE AS SHADING DEVICES , OR TO FORM A WIND BARRIER NEAR THE EDGES OF THE SITE.

COIR LOGS ARE ANOTHER RIVERBANK EROSION REPAIR METHOD MADE USING COCONUT FIBER. COIR LOGS ARE LARGE IN DIAMETER, WHICH MAKES THEM IDEAL FOR SUPPORTING BANKS OR BEING USED FOR EROSION CONTROL ON HILLS, SHORELINES, AND OTHER AREAS PRONE TO EROSION

WHEN SELECTING NATURAL VEGETATION TO CONTROL BANK EROSION, YOU CAN ALSO OPT FOR PLANTS KNOWN FOR THEIR EXPANSIVE ROOT SYSTEMS AND ABILITY TO GROW NEAR WATER

• NO OBSTRUCTIONS FROM NEARBY BUILDINGS

• RESIDENTIAL AREAS SITUATED AT A MODERATE DISTANCE

SITE SECTION & SLOPE

ANOTHER

INFERENCE:

• WESTERN FAÇADE MUST HAVE LESSER OPENINGS AND LONG SHADING DEVICES TO PREVENT HARSH SUNLIGHT DURING DAYTIME.

• WESTERN PART OF THE SITE CAN BE USED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSE SINCE IT RECEIVES SHADE

• LONGER SIDE OF BUILDING SHOULD BE ORIENTED N-S DIRECTION.

• BUFFER SPACES TO BE PROVIDED IN SOUTH-WESTERN PART (wind path).

• SENSE OF BOUNDARY TO BE PROVIDED TO AVOID TRESPASSERS.

• UNWANTED VIEWS CAN BE COVERED BY LANDSCAPING

• ALL THE SPACES SHOULD HAVE GOOD VIEW SO THE BUILDINGS MUST BE SPACED OUT WITH ENVELOPES

Soil

ALLUVIAL + LATERITE

THE SOIL NEAR SEASIDE GETS ERODED VERY EASILY DUE TO EXCESS WATER FLOW STRIPPING AWAY LAYERS OF SOIL .

3 MAIN METHODS TO DEAL WITH SOIL EROSION IN THIS CASE ARECOIR LOGS ARE ANOTHER RIVERBANK EROSION REPAIR METHOD MADE USING COCONUT FIBER. COIR LOGS ARE LARGE IN DIAMETER, WHICH MAKES THEM IDEAL FOR SUPPORTING BANKS OR BEING USED FOR EROSION CONTROL ON HILLS, SHORELINES, AND OTHER AREAS PRONE TO EROSION

ANOTHER COMMON OPTION FOR EROSION CONTROL IS A SOIL EROSION MAT. WHILE THESE MATS ARE SOMETIMES MADE WITH WOOD FIBER OR STRAW, ONE OF THE TOP MATERIALS USED IS COIR COCONUT FIBER. THIS IS BECAUSE COIR IS STRONG YET NATURAL. PLUS, UNLIKE STRAW OR WOOD, COIR CAN LAST IN THE WATER ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO FIVE YEAR

WHEN SELECTING NATURAL VEGETATION TO CONTROL BANK EROSION, YOU CAN ALSO OPT FOR PLANTS KNOWN FOR THEIR EXPANSIVE ROOT SYSTEMS AND ABILITY TO GROW NEAR WATER

DIFFERENT TREE SPECIES CAN BE USED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES LIKE AS SHADING DEVICES , OR TO FORM A WIND BARRIER NEAR THE EDGES OF THE SITE.

• A SIMILAR PATTERN CAN BE FOLLOWED TO ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION

• ENSURES VIEWS TO ALL SIDES • MICROCLIMATE CAN BE MAINTAINED

•USE OF OVERHANG , SIDE FIN AND SMALL OPENINGS TOWARDS THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SITE TO PREVENT HARSH SUNLIGHT

•RAFT OR MAT FOUNDATION CAN BE PROPOSED DUE TO THE SEASHORE

•STORMWATER MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO BE INCORPORATED DUE TO RAINFALL

•CATCHMENT AREA TO BE PROVIDED WHICH HELPS IN RESOLVING WATER PROBLEMS

•ALL THE TREES CAN BE EITHER RETAINED OR TRANSPLANTED DEPENDING ON THEIR LOCATION AND USE

•DUE TO HIGH SALINITY IN THE AIR, STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD BE USED AND ALSO PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THE MATERIALS SHOULD BE DONE TO PREVENT EROSION OF THE MATERIALS

Strength

• STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR COMMERCIAL USE

• SITUATED CLOSE TO THE CITY AND AT A CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ALL SERVICES

• FLAT LAND

• ACCESSIBLE FROM HIGHWAY

• ELECTRICITY POLES NEAR THE SITE SO ELECTRIC SUPPLY WONT BE AN ISSUE

• HAS STORM WATER DRAIN

Weakness

• ACCESS ROADS ARE SMALL NO GOOD WATER SUPPLY

• FOUL SMELL IS A THREAT

• TRAFFIC MIGHT CREATES JAMMING OF ROADS

• NOISE FROM THE ROADS

• NO GOOD VIEWS FROM ALL PARRTS OF THE SITE

Opportunity

• IT IS MIX OF TRADITIONAL AS WELL AS MODERN CULTURE THAT ATTRACTS MANY PEOPLE TOWARDS THE AREA

• SEA PORT AREA SO MANY JOB OPPURTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE

• DEVELOPING AREA SO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF AREA

• SCOPE OF HOUSING FOR MIGRANT WOKERS

Threat

• LOCATED NEAR THE SEA SO THE SOIL MIGHT BE LOOSE

• THREAT OF SALINE UNDERGROUND WATER

• CHANCES OF FLOODING IF PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS NOT PROVIDED

• THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING SHOULD BE WEATHER RESISTANT TO THE MICROCLIMATIC CONDITIONS TO PREVENT CORRODING OF THE MATERIALS

CONCEPT: PARAMETRIC MODERNIZATION

GENERAL AIM IS TO CREATE A PARADIGM IN DESIGN WHERE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELEMENTS IS USED TO MANIPULATE AND INFORM THE DESIGN OF COMPLEX GEOMETRIES AND STRUCTURES
