3 TARGET GROUPS
9.3.1. LOW MIDDLE INCOME GROUP (LMIG):
For the current fiscal year, lower middle-income groups are those with a GNI per capita,
calculated using the World Bank Atlas method, between $996 and $3,895. Lower middle class
refers to households and individuals who are somewhat educated and usually stably employed,
but who have not attained the education, occupational prestige, or income of upper middle
class.
Need to be review Building-Bye-Laws with the scenario of changing technology, demand, and process.
The program to be included was first determined and then design of supporting infrastructures i.e. the
design of road, sewer, water supply and the orientation of building and the whole construction process.
Here the master plan mainly features the road networks, residential, community and recreational areas,
greeneries and the other landscaping fabrics as well.
The basic philosophy of this housing project is to achieve a greater sense of neighborhood community
and yet maintain the equilibrium between functional and amenities by creating an appropriate
environment suited to the life style of different socio-environment and cultural groups. The housing
complex, which is environment friendly with low rise high density, is inspired by the physical and human
scale. It promises to bring resident’s essential pleasure of sun in each house, a view of sky through large
opening and also greenery/trees can be seen from each individual house.
As per the design concept to give the planning its integrity, the master plan encompasses within itself the
wide streets, which provides the major vehicular access to each and every plot which are intercepted by
the pedestrian linkages. The wide streets are made so as to provide a smooth flow of vehicles to every
plot on the site without any obstructions and dead ends
9.6.2 DESIGN PROCESS
Basic design process of this project flows as shown in the figure. After doing all the Case studies,
Literatures reviews and other journals we get know about the term Low-cost Housing and its essential
components in details. Site analysis helps us to know about the current scenario where this project was
going to be executed.
Essential programs were formulated and zoning was done in accordance to spatial relation within them.
Spaces with more density where place quite far away to manage traffic congestion in the main highway.
Provision of green and recreation space are also provided. Community building are also given the major
importance.
Design of individual house was done considering its mass and void relationship. The density of
population living out there in a specific area of land was also the major factor during this process. Height
was so adjusted as per the space required. And finally the final result was obtained using different low
cost construction techniques and materials.
