EVOLUTION OF CLUSTER MASTER PLAN

MODULAR TYPE - C MODULAR TYPE - D

WHY TYPE – D
This planning has a small clusters and with the informal interactions space between them, with parks
and the activity space at the centre

This planning also AVIODS UNWANTED SPACE BETWEEN THE UNITS , which avoid the ownership
of unwanted space of the users

It also has a open OAT and plaza space at the centre of the housing , which can be easily

MASTER PLAN
CORNER JOINTS
The planning is of a circle that
interlocked with a square,
the space which square and
circle joints acts as a park &
activity area forth community
near it.

RADIAL GRID
Instead of using only square
grid , also RADIAL GRID
is introduced to break the
Rhythm and also to bring the
open space ratio more and to
create a sense of interest
to the users

ACTIVITY SPACE
In the apartment block, the
number of units are more
which is higher density than
the other part of the
community. so in between
activity space will act as a
gathering space.
