hello in the last lecture we discussed

in the principles of plotted housing in

this lecture we will discuss the

principles of groove housing in the

principles of the plotted housing we

discussed how we can approach for the

planning of the of the plotted housing

of a large chunk we discussed that to

approach could be taken one is a

hierarchical approach where we can

distribute or divide the whole

population into various clusters and we

define the clusters in terms of very

specific facilities and open

recreational areas another approach is


we don't divide as per the clusters we

just place the plots in such a fashion

that in a centralized green areas or

centralized open facilities can be

provided to provide the the essential

facility to all the plots equitably in a

in a different type of manner different

manner and not only that we also

discussed that that the how we can

determine the plot size in a plotted

housing we told that if the total

population is given by the housing

strategy for a large chunk or a

neighborhood level dividing the


population with the household we can

find out the total number of dwelling

units and that duelling units can be

converted to various the proportion of

the higher-income group medidate income

group and low-income group to determine

the exact number of plots required for

each its economic group and then we can

also calculate the size of the plot and

its total number of the plot for each

delegate and place and and provide now

for the plotted housing apart from the

placement of the facility and the open

space another very important factor is

the network now we told that a few


example of few principles we discussed

like in the periphery we should not make

more number of puncture in the local

route and in the very close vicinity so

that it makes em a cab

Siddhant and the and the respawn areas

but inside the neighborhood where only

local roads meet with local Road those

kind of areas it can be done second we

discussed that the number of junctions

in the periphery will be less and inside

the neighborhood number of junction will

be more it can be more and diffusion or

the segregation of the vehicle er and


non vehicular traffic and for the non

vehicle traffic like the pedestrians and

pedestrians we can make separate

punctured separate pathways for the for

the non vehicular movement now one so

one disadvantage of the plotted housing

is that that plotted housing though it

provides a very individual kind of

ownership to the end-user and you enjoy

your sole ownership and freedom to

design build and enjoy your own house

but one difficulty is that at the

planning level the density is very less

because for each and every plot you have

to provide the load you have to provide


the open space and the facilities so the

since the density is less your overall

cost of the plot becomes higher so it is

less affordable so only the people who

are in the higher income group or

middle-income group they can only afford

the plotted housing when when the

plotted housing is built inside the city

but if yes in the periphery or or and

also in the rural areas poor people can

afford the plotted housing another

disadvantage of the plotted housing is

that the since the plotted housing is

when it is plotted you cannot play with


with its orientation too much so

whatever is the orientation of the plot

you have considered maybe one or two

orientation you can play with but by

enlarge you have to keep the orientation

for the whole neighborhood maybe one or

two variations you can achieve this

types of types of disadvantage can be

overcome in the gouf housing so in the

GU housing we are not going to give the

individual plot to any people

so we are going to make a overall design

of the plot over up in terms of the

building so in the plotted housing the

size of the plot is smaller in a group


housing size of the plot is very big

here the number of dwelling unit is one

or two but here it is a group and basic

difference is what I told earlier that

here the building and land both are

owned by the individual person or the

end-user but here the building is owned

by the individual person but land is not

owned land is owned by the the community

that's why it is called as it grew

housing right so this is the plotted

housing and this is the

growth housing now how do we make the

group housing in the plotted housing our


basic objective was to consider the

total number of the plots which can be

calculated from the total population

which is given by the master plan or the

housing strategy then accommodate those

many of the plots but in the group

housing our approach could be little

different like if this is the plot of

the group housing given or given after

the land subdivision exercise in a in a

housing strategy and it is told that say

for example this is set well vector of

land right and it is told that in 12

factors of land we have to accommodate

say say 10,000 people right 10,000


people so our objective will be the out

of 10,000 people if we consider at the

rate of 5 persons for family or per

household so it becomes 10,000 divided

by 5 so 2,000 unit 2,000 unit now this

is the total number of units we have to

accommodate in terms of total number of

units now this units could be

accommodated in one building

theoretically can be 2 building 3

building for building so various

permutations and combinations are

possible based on the variables so here

your variables are number of the


building's number of the building

complexes number of the floors of the

building height so so many variables are

possible so based on the so many

variables you can make different kind of

options now all set of affair could be

if you are odd FSI could be brought back

here for example consider that if we're

provided in this particular plot is 1.5

therefore total built-up area

becomes so if 12 hectare is the total

area of the land so 12 vector is equal

to this meter square into 1 point 5 it

becomes meter square now consider that

that this is the total built-up area and


this is the total number of unit so area

per unit area per unit will be total

built-up area divided by number of that

is

right so this becomes the average area

average area for in it now this is based

on the assumption that you are you are

taking you are designing 2,000 unit and

you are making all the units uniform and

uniform and uniform this open the total

built-up area is it the 1 lakh 80,000

meter squares so in this case it is 90

meter square but take an example that

you are in a group housing project


definitely all the units will not be

uniform there will be variation even if

the project is done for the higher

income group or any particular group

like middle income group within that

particular in economic group there could

be various kinds of options now let us

assume that you are taking 3 typology

type a B and C so type a for example you

are taking 120 meter square and type B

say 100 meter square and type C 80 meter

square right so based on that you can

calculate by using simple mathematics

that if the number is this is the type

and this is the number so simply


right so based on this if you can

consider that what is the proportion of

a now this n a n BN see you can consider

is to n B is 2 n C is equal to say for

example we can consider some ratio 1 say

2 is to 3 is to 4 so this if this is

known this can be considered or assumed

as per your requirement or as for your

intention of the project or as per the

target of the project target population

of the project so you can calculate the

the n a n BN see using simple

mathematics and those type those amount

of numbers will have to be accommodated


in this particular area now now this is

the quantitative part of the the

planning of the the whole complex but

how to accommodate how many buildings

will be there

so there are few variables like it could

be accommodated in one building or

multiple building so your decision on

the number of building number of

floor

in a building and the number of unit in

so this is the number of building how

many building will be there right number

of floats in a building if this is one


building what is the floor number n

number of floor number of unit in a

building floor like if this is the floor

plan so there could be four unit which

is served by a common lift code there

could be six unit which can be served by

a like this so based on the different

kind of permutation and combination what

is the number of units in a building

floor so making a combination and

permutation of different kind of

possibilities and and and the options

you can make two three scenarios and you

can choose one scenario so that is a


quantitative part this can be done but

there is no directly formula which will

guide you that what is the exact number

of the floor or exact number of the

building and amount of the building

floor now it like the building height

building height is written mind by the

maximum height is determined by your

building regulations and there are

building regulation related to sub back

related to joint open space related to

fire regulation everything so

considering all this thing you have to

determine the number of building number

of floor number of unit etc so there is


no shortcut or no straightforward

formula only one thing can be told that

you can make several options and out of

the options you can choose one or two

now let us discuss that how after

deciding on the number of building block

number of the floors number of the units

we need that this much number of

building and the building profile

the how many blocks will be provided for

example in this case you are finding

that 16 number of building block has to

be accommodated now 16 number of

buildings could be accommodated in a in


a hierarchical manner like we discussed

in the plotted housing where if all the

buildings can enjoy

open space or it can be like this like

this

and there could be a centralized large

facility so this could be one approach

by which we can distribute the buildings

and its facilities and connect it so

this could be one Apple similarly with

the plotted housing another approach

could be another approach could be that

we may not distribute base or based on

the hierarchy but we make a common we

make
common facility area and place the

building around the facility so that

each building gets the maximum advantage

of the large facility facility as well

so this could be another approach here

this this set of building they are

deprived of getting the facility of the

large open space like playground or

large facility but here every building

can have the visual connection or the

advantage of the bigger facility so this

could be another approach similarly like

plotted housing so in group housing

mostly you will find this kind of


approach because the advantage in this

approach is that you can orient your

building as per your sight requirement

for example the sight could be very much

irregular usually we try to get the

regular plots but in practical field you

will find very regular sight like this

so based on this irregular sight feature

you can orient your building accordingly

and this can create very interesting

pattern very interesting form a very

interesting build form which will

enhance the the right ventilation wind

flow everything in a particular project

so this kind of approach could be taken


the so first in this discussion the

first principle is how you are placing

the blocks the placement of the blocks

is can be done and here at the

hierarchical approach and placement of

the blocks can be done at the individual

approach keeping the centralized

facilities and reorienting up the

building in their own fashion to

increase or to maximize the right

ventilation and win/win flow second part

second principle which can be discussed

is that you can is that how in a group

housing project you are you are


considering or integrating the vehicular

vehicular and non vehicular movement

movement one very distinguishable

parameter or feature in the group

housing than the plotted housing is that

in group housing since there is no

boundary of the plot apart from the

external boundary inside there is no

boundary so every person can reach to

every block every facility every open

areas but in the plotted housing

everybody cannot enter the facilities in

the other plot but here it is just

reverse everybody can can go anywhere it

is a free area in a group housing


context so in this context our objective

will be that the non vehicular movement

that is the pedestrian movement so

pedestrian should be given the

opportunity to move freely along the

open space along the beside the building

and all the facilities area where the

vehicle air movement should touch the

building blocks building blocks and

facilities facilities and also parking

areas but the vehicular access the

vehicle access may not touch the the

open areas recreational areas but open

areas are recreational areas must be


must be connected with the pedestrian

pedestrian approach so pedestrian access

is very very important so one approach

to segregate to segregate or integrate

this via color and the non vehicular

approach if in a plot we can make the

vehicular if this is the road we can

make the vehicle pathway at the

periphery and we can have the the non

regular movement at the centre and

keeping some of the interface area

between the non vehicular and vehicular

movement

this can be one approach that means in

the periphery you have the


the vehicular movement in the

centralized open area and the facility

area you are having the free flow of the

pedestrians and some of the designated

point you are allowing the interface

area where you can load unload or how

you can get done from the cars and come

to the open space area and building

could be placed suitably inside the area

so sentence space could be utilized for

your green recreational and the

facilities area another approach could

be the divided approach if this is the

plot if this is the plot you can divide


you can have a vehicular movement like

this and your that is also possible that

your non vehicle or pedestrian movement

is around the building around the

building so that they can see outside

have the these are the building block

provided suitably and inside the two set

of building if these are the two set of

the building then inside the building

you are making a vehicle and only one

regular access giving access to all the

building so here the advantage is that

vehicle er axis since vehicle or access

or the the permanent or the road is a

very costly element so instead of giving


a very large amount of road you are

giving a very nominal road just to give

the access to the to the building but

you are allowing the non vehicle of the

pedestrian approach in each and every

building and facility area but

definitely you have some kind of

interface area where you have to have

the very specific engineering design to

integrate the vehicular and non

vehicular interface now based on this

let us see some of the examples so you

want so that you understand in a better

way some of the example so this elements


we have discussed that group housing has

the community ownership of the land

individual family ownership of the

apartment a lesser Road requirement more

density is possible to achieve using the

higher affair than the plotted housing

this is one example of segregated or the

distributed in a hierarchical fashion

you can see various clusters are

developed this is one cluster this is

another cluster every cluster is having

one centralized green areas inside the

cluster but apart from the cluster this
