3. 3. 1. PROJECT INTRODUCTION PROJECT NAME: CULTURAL THEME PARK PROJECT LOCATION: KOLKATA SITE AREA: 62 acres BRIEF: A theme
park is a destination, which combines entertainment, food and beverage and shops, and an environment that is different from that found outside its gates. A theme is
used to provide a focus for the design, development and operation of such a park. Thereby, a “Cultural Theme Park” is an amusement park which is themed on a
particular culture, and all its rides, attractions as well as other elements of interest are based on ideas from that specific culture. In this case, the culture refers to the
“Culture of India”, and all the recreational elements used are meant to be associated which this pluralistic culture. This thesis project would propose a Theme Park,
which would depict the Indian Culture, its richness and versatility on a large scale. Its arenas would be distributed geographically, so that the people who belong to
India but are eager to get acquainted with its culture as well as the people who visit the country, both get a clear idea of what the country has to offer and correlate it
well with their own understanding. The park would have a chargeable entry, which would include the visiting charges but not the access to certain recreational
elements, which are not compulsory or common to all. The site also holds the Residential Areas for the staff working there, Administrative Areas as well as a Guest
 House for visitors who wish to stay longer. 1 Due to lack of proper promotion and global advertisement, many parts of India, which are culturally rich and worth
giving a visit, and that depict the variety in the Indian culture to its fullest, do not fall in the notice of tourists and visitors. Keeping this in mind, the basic idea here is
to create a cultural theme park, depicting the culture of our country at its best, highlighting the low-promotion zones and give an appreciable definition to “India”. 2.
PROJECT NEED The prime objective behind the creation of this park would be to highlight the low- promotion zones of India. In this design, it is aimed to generate
ambiences portraying the varied cultures, consisting of recreational elements for visitors having varied interests that would incline them to visit those parts of India.
# To promote Indian Culture and its dimensions across the world # To design as an escape for people from their day-to-day lives towards leisure, relaxation and fun
3. PROJECT AIM
4. 4. 4. PROJECT SCOPE The aim here is to create a cultural theme park, which would consist of six major built structures, denoting the six major geographical zones
of India – North, South, East, West, North-East and Central. Each pavilion would have its own outdoor arena, and both these areas would consist of elements of
interest and entertainment, which would depict a component of Indian culture of that area. The basic components of this theme park design: Ticketing complex
Tourist information centres Centre for assistance to physically challenged and aged visitors Six Pavilions Toy train station Boating station Shopping
streets Dining facilities Plazas Parking Medical clinic Restrooms Staff residence Extensive landscaping Northern Zone: Cactus Garden Tractor
Zone Skiing Zone Apple Zone Flower Garden Skating Rink Row-in-theatres Dhabas Agriculture Museum Camel Rides Puppet Show Field
for tug-of-war Southern Zone: South Cinema Museum Fort Theatre Water Sports Artificial Buffalo Rides Row-in Restaurants Coconut Rides
Coconut Market Tea Garden Elephant Rides 2 Central Zone: Wildlife Museum Haats Cockfight area Artificial Waterfalls Drum Rides Buddhist
Remains Park River Sports Central Lake for boating Ropeways Horse Rides Char bagh Urdu Bazaar Riverbank Plaza Eastern Zone: Terracotta
Museum Sand-art Zone Tram Rides Ferry Game Zone Toy Train Amphitheatre Yak Rides Momo Stalls Western Zone: Water sports Festival
Plazas Kite Zones Ancient Remains Plaza Restaurants Caves Snake Rides Palki Sit-on Theatre North-eastern Zone: Tea Garden Wildlife Museum
Bamboo Climbing Sports Trekking Drum-shaped amphitheatre Mushroom Restaurant
5. 5. 5. SITE JUSTIFICATION The site of this theme park has been taken in Kolkata because of the following reasons: i) Central India already has a few such
examples like the Kingdom of Dreams, Gurgaon, Dilli Haat, Chokhi dhani, etc. ii) Kolkata is a culturally rich metropolitan. 3 6. CASE STUDIES Name Relevance
Kingdom of Dreams, Gurgaon Similar Project in Northern India, but on a smaller scale; covers only 13 states Dilli Haat, New Delhi Universal Design and Open
space planning KINGDOM OF DREAMS - INFERENCES: The circulation pattern is such that visitors would automatically be able to see maximum elements the
area has to offer. Food court has been kept in one common area so that people get to choose easily from the available options. The detailing of every part is
exquisite in itself and even service areas like washrooms have been tried to integrate into the theme. The materials used are innovative and light fibre and plastics,
which are easy to maintain and reduce dead load. The placement of pavilions has no proper order and hence, it does not help much in understanding cultural
distribution of India. The place lacks recreational activities other than performances and dining. DILLI HAAT – INFERENCES: The main motive behind doing a
case study of Dilli Haat was to know about two things: how the entire area has been converted into a universal design ,and in such a hot climate, how do people
move around and what provisionsare made to provide shade to them. Both the aspects were properly studied, and the observations have been noted above.
6. 6. 4 GLOBAL VILLAGE – INFERENCES: The food joints have been kept together and can be reached after travelling a certain distance. This inclines people
visit the whole arena. Apart from pedestrian circulation, circulation through boats has been arranged for the people to enjoy more while they move. Ample
space has been provided for parking- six lots of 500 capacity. All the visitable spaces have been kept at one level. There are multiple entries and exits. Hence, no
particular pattern of circulation could be maintained. The recreational and observational spaces are separate. They could have been integrated to increase interest
of visitors. Market areas of all pavilions are separate. This makes choice difficult. The boating facility has been provided only for one wing of the complex.
There are no arrangements to fight the hot climate, hence is advised to be visited in the late hours of the day. SHILPARAMAM – INFERENCES: Because of the
concept of ethnic architecture, the building looks prominent in the surroundings. Good segregation between recreational areas, shopping areas, office areas, family
entertainment areas etc Separation of pedestrian and vehicular moment. A proper service road. Wide pathways which can be used for multi-function like for
exhibits, food stalls during melas, etc Use of natural lakes for boating. Good use of contours to the design Rock gallery which has many exhibits in natural
rock formation. Dormitories are not enough for the craftsmen. Poor Maintenence of thatch roofs. Parking is not enough during melas. Open Air Theatre
(O.A.T.) is not oriented according to the wind direction. The most innovative feature of Shilparamam can be taken as the thematic distribution of pavilions of the
Night Bazaar- on the basis of significant historic eras in India, which was found different from the distribution in all the other studies. 7. LITERATURE STUDIES
Name Relevance Global Village, Dubai Similar Theme but on a global scale Shilparamam, Hyderabad Same kind of recreational park with a different theme (not
geographical but periodic)
7. 7. 5 Climatic Inferences The site is barren and consists of a few trees. It is not being used for any fruitful activity at the moment, except providing a parking space for
people visiting the buildings on the opposite side of the road. There is a lot of grass and mud all along the site presently, with the south-western side slightly Sloping
downwards, which was evident by the debris collecting there from the surrounding trees and bushes. 8. SITE DETAIL The site is located in Newtown, Rajarhat and
comes under Action Area II-E. Area = 25 hectares (62 acres) Surroundings: The site is adjacent to the recently developed Eco-Tourism Park, and is a corner plot
located south-west of Akankha More and south-east of New Town By-pass Crossing.
8. 8. 6 SITE ZONING 9. INITIAL CONCEPTS & DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
9. 9. 7 ZONING RELATED TO CIRCULATION & LANDSCAPING Philosophical Concept: The respective heights of the buildings have been based on their
respective heights from the sea level. Also, the Central Food Court symbolizes a focus, an elements connecting all the zones, hence showing “Unity in Diversity”
10. 10. 10. FUNCTIONAL CONCEPTS (DERIVATION OF FORM & SITE ZONING) 8 For the façade, roofing styles of different regions were studied, and a suitable
composition was created after several permutations and combinations. 11. FORM CONCEPTS
11. 11. 12. AREA PROGRAMMING 9 Total Area for this chart = 20694 sqm. Northern Zone Area = 4109 sqm. Central Zone Area = 2961 sqm. Eastern Zone Area =
1330 sqm. Total Area for this chart = 8400 sqm.
12. 12. 12. AREA PROGRAMMING (contd.) 10 Southern Zone Area = 2653 sqm. North-eastern Zone Area = 1666 sqm. Western Zone Area = 1344 sqm. Total for this
chart = 5663 sqm. Total built-up area hence calculated = 34757 sqm.
