• Thrust will be on Rural Building Materials, Construction techniques & design details which should be user friendly.

                        THE SELECTED VILLAGE IS LOCATED NEAR HOSUR , KRISHNAGIRI (DT).THE VILLAGE IS CHOOSEN BASED ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND STATE OF LIVING OF THE RURAL PEOPLE.

                                     INTRODUCTION :

INTRODUCTION:

               AS A PART OF THE DESIGN SUBJECT, WE HAD TO SURVEY A VILLAGE, IN ORDER TO STUDY THE VARIOUS DETAILS, AND PLANNING ASPECTS OF THE VILLAGE. BEING A PRIMITIVE SETTLEMENT. IT GIVES US A BASIC IDEA ABOUT HOW THE SETTLEMENT EVOLVED, AS A RESPONSE TO THE CLIMATE AND LOCALLY AVAILABLE MATERIALS, THEIR LIFESTYLE AND SOCIAL NEEDS. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF RURAL HABITATS AND HOW THEIR SETTLEMENTS HAVE DEVELOPED TO  SUIT THEIR NEEDS. AS A PART OF OUR STUDY, WE CHOSE THE VILLAGE OF “PAATHAKOTA”. 

              THE VILLAGE HAS A STRONG HISTORICAL BACKGROUND, DATING BACK TO OVER 400 YEARS. SOME HOUSES ARE OVER 300 YEARS OLD. THE ANCIENT PALLAVA TEMPLE AND THE STREAM, ALONG WHICH THE VILLAGE HAS DEVELOPED, ARE SOME FRAGMENTS OF THE VILLAGE’S HISTORY.

 THE STUDY OF THE VILLAGE WAS CARRIED OUT IN DIFFERENT DIVISIONS: MASTER PLAN, INDIVIDUAL DWELLING STUDY, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDY. THE INFORMATION WAS COLLECTED IN 7 DAYS.

SOIL TYPES:

                          THE PREDOMINANT TYPE OF SOIL FOUND IS RED SOIL AND IT EXTENDS TO A DEPTH OF 8 METERS. SOME OF THE MAJOR CROPS CULTIVATED IN THIS VILLAGE ARE PADDY,MAIZE,RAGI,BANANA AND GROUNDNUT. AGRICULTURE AND POTTERY ARE THE TWO MAIN OCCUPATIONS IN THIS VILLAGE.

APPROACH:

                             THE APPROACH TO THE VILLAGE IS BY A TURN IN THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY,NH-7,INTO THE STATE HIGHWAY,WHICH RUNS FOR ABOUT 8KMS. AND THEN OPENS INTO THE VILLAGE OF “PAATHAKOTTA”. THERE IS CONSTANT BUS SERVICE FROM HOSUR TO PATHAKOTA.

LOCATION:

                        THE VILLAGE OF “PATHAKOTA” IS SITUATED AT A DISTANCE OF 19 KMS.FROM  HOSUR. IT IS LOCATED AT 12 44’ NORTH LATITUDE AND 77 50’ EAST LONGITUDE. IT HAS UDANAPALLI ON SOUTH, KAMANDODDI ON NORTH,KONERIPALLI ON EAST AND HOSUR TO THE NORTH. IT IS SITUATED AT A DISTANCE OF 15 KMS.FROM HOSUR RAILWAY STATION AND AT A DISTANCE OF 88KMS FROM BANGALORE AIRPORT.

COMMUNITIES:

                           LIKE IN ANY SETTLEMENT, THE VILLAGE WAS FORMED BY PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PLACES COMING AND SETTLING HERE. THEY WERE MAINLY BRAHMINS, BUT NOW MANY OF THEM SOLD THEIR LANDS TO OTHER COMMUNITIES AND VACATED THE VILLAGE. THE COMMUNITIES WHICH RESIDE IN THE VILLAGE PRESENTLY ARE:  
        

• BRAHMIN • VOKALIKA

• KULALAR • VANNIYAR

• VANNAR • NAIDU

• REDDY • BARBAR        • MUSLIMS

CLIMATE AND RAINFALL:

                            THE VILLAGE OF PATHAKOTA HAS A MODERATE CLIMATE AND ALSO RECEIVES MODERATE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL. IT HAS AN AVERAGE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 30-32 C . AND AN AVERAGE MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 15C -18C.THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL RECEIVED BY THE VILLAGE IS ABOUT  500-1300MM.

  

                                     HISTORY OF PATHAKOTA:

•                History of pathakota dates back to more than 800 years ago.It is also known as Bangarukota or Allaikota.The origin of this settlement of the villagers started around the ancient Varadharajaswami temple.

               RENDERING BEGINNER

INTRODUCTION :
   The given exercise is to design a FOOD COURT to create a functional and lively environment in which the young minds would be nurtured.



AIM :

   To graduate the student further on design of Single level planning in small scale, small span, lighting, ventilation, fire safety, security, water supply, sewage disposal, horizontal movement and simple vertical movement .Concepts and presentation of design with scaled models.

OBJECTIVE :

INTERIOR WITH SHADOW PLAY

     To make the students gain more knowledge about the design strategies involved in the design of an institutional building and to make them aware of the complexity, functioning and salient features of the design project through organizing field visit, train them to document and present the findings. – Data collection with respect to design and detailing for physically handicapped persons.

• Provide adequate space for circulation inside the building
• Any other facility that may be required for a school may be added.

The remaining percentage of spaces under each department is meant for circulation, amenities and other needed facilities

LOCATION OF THE SITE

DESIGN :: 

  LOCATION :

    THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HOSUR , KRISHNAGIRI (dt )

LINKS :
         HOSUR CENTRAL : 4 KM
         RAILWAY : 5KM
         AIRPORT : 43 KM
CLIMATIC DATA :

           CLIMATE : TROPICAL SAVANA CILMATE 
                   ( WINTER : 14 ' , SUMMER : 38' )

The site  experiences a tropical savanna climate . And due to its high elevation, the local area enjoys a more moderate climate throughout the year, with has a blown of occasional heat waves.

     The coolest month is January of  17.1 °C & the hottest month is April of 33.6 °C. Winter  rarely drop below 12 °C, and summer  seldom exceed 36 °C.

The idea of sustainability, or ecological design, is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations.The term can be used to describe an energy and ecologically conscious approach to the design of the built environment.

CLIMATIC ANALYSIS

ONSITE FEATURE :

             THE PROPOSED SITE IS A COUNTOUR SITE IN WHICH IT HAS A ROCK OF 0.15 ACRE AREA , THIS ROCK ACT AS A BARRIER FOR SW-MOONSOON WINDS AND SO NO PLACEMENT OF BLOCKS ARE POSSIBLE TO PLACE ON THE SIDES OF THE ROCK .
