INDUSTRIAL BUILDING DESIGN
INTRODUCTION :
What is industrial building design?
To develop a built environment based on an undefined building typology.

The structure functions on the business programming of the managing engineers.
The area brief depends on the maximum and minimum space requirements per
function unit.
Aim/Objectives :
The aim for designing the archetype is to
1. Derive a definition to a multifunctional manufacturing unit.
2. Resolve the required sub-units.
3. Compute acceptable capacity of spaces on the basis of work cycles and work environment.
Industry:
Industry, a group of productive enterprises or organizations that produce or supply goods, services, or
sources of income. In economics, industries are customarily classified as primary, secondary, and tertiary;
secondary industries are further classified as heavy and light.
Secondary Industry
This sector, also called manufacturing industry,
(1) takes the raw materials supplied by primary industries and processes them into consumer goods, or
(2) further processes goods that other secondary industries have transformed into products, or
(3) builds capital goods used to manufacture consumer and non consumer goods. Secondary industry also
includes energy-producing industries (e.g., hydroelectric industries) as well as the construction industry.
Secondary industry may be divided into heavy, or large-scale, and light, or small-scale, industry. Large-scale
industry generally requires heavy capital investment in plants and machinery, serves a large and diverse
market including other manufacturing industries, has a complex industrial organization and frequently a
skilled specialized labour force, and generates a large volume of output. Examples would include petroleum
refining, steel and iron manufacturing, motor vehicle and heavy machinery manufacture, cement production,
nonferrous metal refining, meat-packing, and hydroelectric power generation.
Light, or small-scale, industry may be characterized by the no durability of manufactured products and a
smaller capital investment in plants and equipment, and it may involve nonstandard products, such as
customized or craft work. The labour force may be either low skilled, as in textile work and clothing
manufacture, food processing, and plastics manufacture, or highly skilled, as in electronics and computer
hardware manufacture, precision instrument manufacture, gemstone cutting, and craft work.
Industrial Building Archetype

Designed to house industrial operations and provide the necessary conditions for workers and the operation
of industrial equipment.
The modern revolution in science and technology, with its constant progress in the construction of industrial
buildings and improved construction technology, has resulted in an increase in the number of enterprises that
do not pollute the environment. As a result, a new type of urban development, known as the industrial-
residential area, has emerged.
Contrasting in scale, appearance, and silhouette with standard design housing, industrial buildings become
important architectural highlights in urban development.
Aesthetically, the quality of industrial buildings can be improved by distinctive interior design, sensible
proportioning and division of enclosed areas and harmonious choice of structural elements.
Industrial buildings have an enormous and often negative impact on natural and architectural landscapes;
and industrial regions often become alienated from the natural environment. One task industrial architecture
is thus maximum preservation of the natural landscape and harmonious introduction of new industrial
buildings into the landscape.
The integration of industrial buildings is one of the most efficient means of reducing the estimated costs of
constructing them.
In large scale construction, most multi story industrial buildings have three to six floors and ceiling loads of
5-10 KN/sq.m. When land area is limited, industrial buildings may have ten or more stories.
Modern multistory buildings usually have column networks of 6M x 6M, 9M x 6M, or 12M x 6M, and there
is a tendency to use even more extended networks. The total width of multi story industrial buildings is
usually 36-48m.
In multistory buildings designed for processes with strict requirements for air purity and temperature and
humidity stability, technical floors are constructed for engineering equipment and supply lines; the supply
lines may be located within the trusses of intermediate floors.
There is a tendency to make greater use of multistory industrial buildings in industrial construction because
of the need to economize on urban sites and lands suitable for agricultural use.
Widespread standardization of design may serve as the basis for a transition to total prefabricated
construction of industrial buildings from structures and elements manufactured in factory construction
combines. Modern construction is characterized by a tendency to minimize the weight of structural members
in order to reduce consumption of materials and the cost of construction and installation. In line with this,
the reinforced concrete structural members used in industrial buildings are being improved through the use
of high-strength concrete and concrete with light-weight aggregates.
Metal structures are being improved through the use of high strength steel and aluminum alloys and thin
walled rolled and bent sections. Improvement of metal structures is also related to the introduction of pre
stressed metal structures and the construction of light weight industrial building systems that make use of
thin sheet covered surfaces.
SITE CONTEXT
Bahadurgarh is a developing town near the outskirts of the capital city, Delhi. The town is rich with
agricultural activities. There are several institutions present in its direct vicinity. Religious activities are
followed in Hindu temples present in various corners of the town.
MIE is an industrial hub joint with Delhi-Rohtak corridor. There is diverse variety of industrial work in this
area
To motivate the growth of institutional strength, if good job opportunities are provided along with aid to
globalization; the town would boost up and all the agriculture activities and small to medium scale industries
can be brought together to boon the growth of our nation.
If a large scale industry is introduced which is energy efficient and produces low pollution; it can bring in
people together in a healthy business relationship and can cast good income to existing culture and bring in
outsiders which would lead to more development.
Business Approach And Concept
Client brief is tabulated on the basis of functions of the works to be delivered by the client with benefit of
built environment to be provided by the architect.
Purchaser brief is tabulated on the basis of all plausible outcomes of works that the client wants to deliver.
Categories of zones are formulated on the basis of the proposed work environment and area requirements are
derived.
Area Statement
PURCHASER BRIEF
CLIENT BRIEF
PROJECT BRIEF
BUISNESS CONCEPT
Let’s start it from a client’s point of view — If someone wants to start up a restaurant of their own they
would either want to set up a franchise unit or have their own brand name.
which needs :
o Kitchen Equipments/Machinery
o Special processed ingredients
o Other standard supplies
The plan is to have all in one together and have specific kitchen machinery to produce excluding kitchen
stations (which comes under furniture rather than equipment). Few ingredient production along with
packaging.
THE NARRATIVE
How I want visitors to experience the built environment.
Psychological impact : The visitor should be conscious about the restaurant business and should realize
cooking and baking as an art process. The visitor must feel tranquil as he engages himself in the work
environment.
Sociological impact : The visitors should understand what entrepreneurship is and should enjoy the how the
products are being produced. The space should promote healthy interaction taking in care of private and
public spaces.

SITE
Site : Bahadurgarh, Haryana
Bahadurgarh is a developing town near the outskirts of the capital city, Delhi. The town is rich with
agricultural activities. There are several institutions present in its direct vicinity. Religious activities are
followed in Hindu temples present in various corners of the town.
MIE is an industrial hub joint with Delhi-Rohtak corridor. There is diverse variety of industrial work in this
area.
There is no issues with civic amenities for the living population. Hospital, police station, government offices
( such as Haryana urban development office) are well placed and well operated.
The population here is very comfortable and wouldn't want to shift to the capital in search of better living. In
fact few institutions here are so budding that students from the capital city are coming to study here.
Bahadurgarh town is an important Industrial town wherein Haryana Government has developed about 200
Hectares of land for Industrial purpose. Besides other big Industrial units such as Hindustan National Glass
Company, Hindustan Sanitary Wares, Surya Roshni, Somany Pilkington, Parley Biscuits and Swastika Pipe
etc are its main Industrial Units existing here on the land privately purchased by them.
Why to place it in Bahadurgarh ?
To motivate the growth of institutional strength, if good job opportunities are provided along with aid to
globalization; the town would boost up and all the agriculture activities and small to medium scale industries
can be brought together to boon the growth of our nation.
If a large scale industry is introduced which is energy efficient and produces low pollution; it can bring in
people together in a healthy business relationship and can cast good income to existing culture and bring in
outsiders which would lead to more development.
SITE AREA :
67462m2 1 Acre = 4046.8 m2
16.67 Acres 1 hectare = 10,000 m2 = 2.471 acres
6.75 Hectare
Haryana Urban Development Authority( Erection of Buildings) Regulations, 1979, which besides other
design / Structural requirements, specify the proportion of the site which may be covered with building,
F.A.R., Max. height etc.

Utility
Radial form
A composition of linear forms extending outwards from a central form in a radial manner.
Clustered form
A collection of forms grouped together by proximity or sharing of similar visual trait
Grid form
A set of modular forms regulated in a three dimensional grid.
Form can be inspired by an existing entity as in the case bird nest inspired by a nest and lotus temple
inspired by a flower.
Centralized form
A number of secondary forms clustered around a dominant central parent form

BUILDING EXPRESSION
Circulation and Design Principles

Axis
Axis guides how form can be arranged in a symmetrical or balanced order.
Symmetry
Symmetry creates harmony between two equivalent forms and spaces.
Rhythm
Unifying movement of repetitive space and form allocates the symphony between public and private
spaces/forms.
Datum
A datum is performed to organize spaces/form along a line/plane or volume.
Transformation
An architectural entity can be altered by manipulations with specific context without changing the initial
identity and concept.
Circulation
Each realm has a main circulation space, which opens up directly from the entrance to the realm.
The entrances to any realm open directly off the circulation space of the next larger realm.
ZONING PLAN
The interactive world exists with kinetic architectural pieces which are responsive to climate, environment,
occupants’ activity and aesthetics. It is a vastly public area.
There are two main entrances, one for the trucks, buses, staff vehicles (strictly private lane) and other is for
the visitor entrance.
There are two canteens to keep the boundary between social classes intact along with aid of the functioning
of time office and careful counting of user groups’ identity and numbers.
The administration is a very private space and wouldn’t let easy entry to any visitor without permission.
There is a vast public interactive world present for the visitors for informal interaction as well.
The residential area is a collective social region for occupancy of engineers, administrators, businessmen,
inventors, researchers, marketing officers and their family members. There is housing available for guests.
Power and tanks are kept away with bigger offsets to avoid pollution, disturbance and easy maintenance.
Workshops are well interconnected to each other and only allowing one entrance and exit lane for
trucks/packaging lane. The laboratory is well connected to administration and visitor parking with just one
lane and it is networked with workshops. Laboratory also leads to the realm of the interactive world.
The utility is a region that has to be accessed periodically by each user group and is kept away at the
boundary exit of the site to protect from any social mishap. Packaging and transportation body monitors
traffic, time office of picking and delivering from workshops and laboratory. This body has multiple storage
capacity and machine work capacity.
workshops have trusses to roof large span areas. The roof consists of skylights and chimneys for ventilation
and lighting.
