INTRODUCTION
1.1 NEED OF RESORT:

Our life has been evolved and education has been flourished in recent centuries. Although, the stress has
been increased on the individuals making them need to entertain themselves. From here the idea of tourism
resort appeared people usually travel from one place to another in order to find entertainment and relaxation.
The approach in this research is to design an environmentally friendly resort that will serve the environment .
The resort is considered a place for relaxation , entertain for the visitors and tourists, and having this project
in Rajasthan, will help to promote for such kind of tourism.

1.2 ECO RESORT :

- .
An eco resort offers a ‘tropical experience’ to visitors Such a resort makes only a minimal impact on the
environment without compromising guests’ comfort and safety. It can also be an economically viable
.
alternative to typical air -conditioned structures The eco- resort has to draw on and blend with the local
natural and cultural environments by employing principles of Environmentally Sustainable Design ( ESD). It must
minimise use of energy through passive solar design and, where additional energy inputs are required, it
.
should utilise the renewable resources of sun, water and wind It also has to make minimal impact on the
.
environment by limiting waste, emissions, pollution and other undesirable effects of its operation In very
broad terms, the impact that the resort will make on the environment can be derived from solutions adopted
for:
* energy and water supply
* discharge of waste and emissions

* construction technology and materials used in buildings and infrastructure, and

* direct human impacts through daily activities on the site.

1.3 AIM

To design an Eco resort not only for leisure but will offer tourist a complete eco experience.

1.3. 1 OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this proposal is-

D Provide a recreational environment for varieties of facilities and functions.

Comfortable design which portrays an environment of leisure and promotes interaction with nature .
Respond to climatic and energy consumption issues raised by present day architecture through sustainable
design .
D Designing with the suitable perspective to the surrounding environment and without the environmental
disadvantages .
Locating the buildings with public spaces and common facilities for encouraging social interaction .
Cost effective and functional design.

1.3. 2 IMPORTANCE OF THE ECO RESORT :

The combined development principles of two prominent trends in the hotel resort industry, the eco-resort, has
resulted in a new ecologically conscious hotel sub -type: the Eco-Resort.

> The application of green technology and practices has moved from far -flung eco-resorts to inner city
hotels. The attraction that guests feel to vacation while promoting environmental responsibility is now
being supported for those who choose to vacation eco resorts and seek the amenities afforded by
those lodgings while contributing to the health of our planet.
> Eco resort produce the environment benifical local community and help guest learn about the local
surroundings.
> True eco resort not only offers eco friendly sighting but also the accommodation, transportation and
other faculties .

DESIGN CONSTRUCTION IN HOT ARID ZONES

.
Designing building is the first important thing to preserve the buildings from outdoor climatic changes So,
should build the buildings according climatic design. The physical and structural comfort in buildings is the
.
result of balance between temperature of human body and its surrounding environment Architecture uses a
conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the built environment.

. .
The Rajasthan desert is hot and ever hotter with climate change. The sun is harsh There is little water Deserts
have the advantage of diurnal temperature differs as much as 40 degrees from the daily high to the low just
before dawn. And that means that even on the hottest days, people can enjoy the outdoors. The architects
and interior designers create those outdoor spaces suitable with desert.
There are some important points that must be available in design building for hot -arid zones:

4 | Page
 ECO RESORT | 2018
Provide maximum shading of direct and reflected sun energy in the hot season .
Balance the extremes of summer and winter by movable parts.
D Provide ventilation by regulated air movement and small openings.
Avoid large exposed exterior surfaces .
Use reflective outer surfaces.
Balance the extremes of day and night temperatures by adequate thermal storage mass.
Reduce internal heat production and conduction gain in hot seasons.
D Promote evaporation and heat loss by radiation.
O Increase air circulation in humid .
regions

1.4 SCOPE :

> The scope of project are the eco resort with recreational facilities .
> They intended to go some distance far from city so that they can enjoy the environment .
> The project provides a lot of scope for site planning and landscaping.
> The project provides an outlet to study the local architecture: an exercise in the evolution of an
architectural vocabulary which takes the inspiration from the local and architecture, keeping in mind
of the climatic factors,behavioral pattern and the user attitude.
> It also provides the opportunity to study the local culture and heritage.
> A resort demands the formulation of an ambience which can provide people to relax and leisurely
spend their time , at the same time satisfying all their functional needs. Thus, this project gives the
opportunity to deal with the visual, behavioral, technical, and functional aspect of the design.
> With the increase in level of income and dual income in the family, people are frequently enjoying
vacations and seeking of some quality spaces around which Rajasthan lacks .
1.4.1 LIMITATIONS :

> Their will be limited research and study on feasibity of project and detailed site suitability will not be
analyzed.
> The project will not cover detail related to landscape design though research will done according to
architectural requirement.
> The project will not focus constructural analysis of built structures of resorts, although structural
consultation will be made and it will not be sufficient.
> Detailed environment assessment will not be done due to limitation of knowledge in this field and it is
not our primary focus .

ARCHITECT - KAMATH REVATHI STUDIO

The Lakshmansagar Resort, located at the foot of the Aravalli range Lakshman Sagar was built in the late
19th century as a hunting lodge by the then Thakur of Raipur, Lakshman Singh though with a conservationist
view of the heritage and surroundings.There re-conceptualizationof Lakshman Sagar is manifested through
the endless detailing in the architecture & design .
The original structures consisted of a colonnaded veranda and a ‘haveli’. The colonnade, which was used as
the ‘mardana’, overlooks the plains on one side and the lake on the other while the three -storey ‘haveli’
enclosing a courtyard was used as the ‘zanana’.

The Zanana ( women) quarters and Mardana (men) quarters, designed historically for the ladies and men
respectively, offer hints to Rajput culture and traditional customs like pardah or reflecting the granduer of
mehfils&baithak.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY :

The original structure consisted of a colonnaded veranda and haveli. The colonnade which was used as the
mardana, overlooks the plain on one side and the lake on the other while the three store haveli enclosing a
courtyard was used as the zanana.

The property features The Zanana & Mardana which are the common.

• Dining lounging areas

• The single rock cut swimming pool
• The sun-deck meant for sunbathing and leisure
• Private dining & live cooking
• A man made private lake with lounge decks
• An organic vegetable garden.

DESIGN FEATURE :

The 12 cottages mud and stone are divided into two zones either side of man-made water channels.That is
field with rainwater harvesting 3 sepreate water channels are made for collection of water.

Figure 10 VIEW FROM ARTIFICAL LAKE

DESIGN CONCEPT :

Introduced the ‘ Zero Kilometer ’ design concept. This stressed their belief that while design should be
innovative and functional, efforts should be made to involve local craftsmen and preserve local traditions. This
not only brings down the cost of a project substantially, but also reduces environment pollution entailed by
transportation and makes quality control easier to manage, in addition to involving the local craftsmen and
sustaining livelihoods in the region. Eco Friendly Architecture.

ZERO KILOMETER CONCEPT

zero kilometer concept and reflective of the ’slow ' lifestyle of sourcing all materials from the vicinity, the
architecture reflects the local way of living.

The striking bright pink curtains, reminiscent of the local grab, flowing from the windows of the quaint hunting
lodge creates a picture perfect impression as one enters the resort. Similarly, inside the grey slate and mud
cottages made in a rough chinaistyle, the bedroom and living areas flow into one another. A similar flow
continues towards the bathrooms, where an open door echoes with the ethos of
non-divided spaces of rural homes.

11 | P a g e
 ECO RESORT | 2018

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY :

This resort indicates that it is within the realms of possibility to effectively combine modern creature comforts
.
with the very basic rural dwellings The suites are designed in a cluster of buildings that constitute one house
.
and are grouped around a courtyard These cluster then come together to form the main villages street.

DESIGN CONCEPT :

In this project, mud was mainly used. Mud was not only cheaper but also the most appropriate - both,
. .
climatically and aesthetically Locally available materials were used for construction The sun -dried bricks
.
came from the bed of a dried out tank, adjacent to the hillock The thatch came from the grass growing on
the site itself , the stone for the foundations, sills, lintels brackets and roofing slabs and other built in furniture
. .
came from Ragunathgarh ( 25 kms away ) The wooden lathe workers from Laxmangarh were to make a peg
.
and other small fixtures The local village carpenters ( Khatis ) were to put together and the carve them,the
local masons were to build the structures, and the women from the near by villages were to hand plaster and
finish the wails with moldings, relief work, embedded mirror work and also mould in mud elements, such as
.
choolas, platforms, grain bins a stores etc and finally draw on the walls .

Figure 38 COTTAGES

The huts/cottages were actually supposed to form a cluster of 8 huts in which 2 huts are meant to represent
the farmers' huts, three weavers' huts and three potters hut. They are not placed in a row nor do they share
common walls. Each unit is a separate unit and unique and yet a part of the whole cluster. Spaces have been
created for social interaction. A chakki ( stone flourmill ) a grinding stone etc. is embedded in the platform &
steps outside the huts to indicate how people interact and socialize in rural areas. The cottages are built on
brick foundation.The walls, sleeping platform, etc are made of brick plastered with mud and covered with
cow -dung.Outside the walls and windows are decorated with motifs painted .

Each hut is unique, what they all have in common are creature comforts provided which are a bit incongruous
with the surrounding. The walls have niches for old - lamps and very quaint mini- windows even have wire mesh
to prevent insects from invading the interiors. Windows provide light as well as ventilation though they are
small in size. Floors are plasters with cow -dung roofs of some of the huts are thatched while others have stone
slab roof which have been left without polish and paint

Figure 39 COTTAGE PLAN

PLANNING AND SPATIAL ORGANISATION

The entry to the complex is through a gateway sort of cut-out from where one can see the cluster of mud huts
in the framework of a typical Shekhawati style gateway. The 3m. Wide pathway leads to the huts. After one
enters the entrance lobby, the reception and office is just adjacent to the main entry from where visitors can
easily access the restaurant, bar and the huts. Opposite the reception is a lounge that is sunk by 0.6 m. and
the corridor passes along the lobby overlooking it.

LANDSCAPE
All the pathways are paved in brick and are flanked by hedges 3'height on each side. No big trees are seen
in the resort due to poor soil conditions. Only old trees are present which give a feeling of being sculpted. An
open dining area presents a magnificent view of the landscape stretching ahead for miles. Light fixtures are
placed in the gardens & courtyards to sit and enjoy in night. A conical Obri with thatched roof and small
openings has been made as a landscape element to give a real effect of a village.

CONCEPTUAL SITE ZONING

—
Site has been divided into two half One which is more Private and semi private zones containing Residential
Cottages, Suites, Villas, Then some recreational areas like Meditation centre, entertainment zone, Swimming
pool, Amphitheatre , Spa and Sauna created near artificial lake in a peace and serene interaction with the
nature and an attempt has been made to maximize view potential.
Major access to the site from northern side, so more Semi public and Public areas are designed their,
areas are taken in adjacency with entrance, which also helps in minimizing with circulation path and distance
of these to the parking lot. These areas include Reception, Meeting rooms , luggage room ,and on other side
Restaurant , bars and separate kitchen.
And towards left their public fuctional area meant by theme party lawn and in connectivity Banquet hall
,kitchen and separate restaurant for one who resides in banglowes which is meant to serve a varied kind of
activity user groups is provided with an alternate entry so as not to disturb Major administrative and Back -of -
house areas are having their accessibility from northern side of the site acting as a service entry for the
Resort. Lagoon and landscaping which interacts with the Cottage ,Suites villas and bungalows has been
suggested in the design proposal.

CONCEPT
Concept of building has been made to intake the
nature resource and its most throught sustainable
materials natural constructive techniques ,
,
vernicular materials are used , natural light ,water
irrigation, solar energy to the roof of the building .
Following design considerations
• The application of green technology and
practices has moved from far -flung eco-
resorts to inner city. The attraction that
guests feel to vacation while promoting
environmental responsibility is now being
supported for those who choose to vacation

Eco resort produce the environment benifical local community and help guest learn about the local
surroundings .
Natural light and ventilation is provided with maximum no. of windows with different size and angles.
.
Play of faced according t sun movement The form is traditional and eye catch to attaract more
.
visitors
Sunshade device proposed on building to create shade on facade .
.
A large artificial lake ( water body) at the center of site it helps in passive cooling
By Achieving was to virtually eliminate HVAC by deploying passive and low energy strategies
amongst other cost saving strategies such as the use of local materials, techniques etc .

COTTAGES Typically made in traditional and sustainable built form, with pitched roofs, locally available
materials stone ,mud and use connected by covered pathways Also there is a provision of semi private spaces
to interact like viewing decks, covered walkways, cut-outs in floor to appreciate sustainable materials.
Cottages have two bedroom and attached toilets and a pantry for self cooking and a foyer with
huge duplex living area with outside open sitting deck .
VLLAS These are also made in tradational sustainable style with sun-dried bricks , mud with pitched roof
and other locally availabe materails.
Villas have two bedroom and attached toilets and a pantry for self cooking and a foyer with huge
living area and outside open sitting deck.

SUITS Suits are made in a traditional style of hotel accommodation with a lagoon surrounding individual
.
units Viewing decks are attached to each unit to make them a part of nature. Special they are built in locally
available stones .
Suits have two bedroom and attached toilets and a pantry for self cooking and a foyer with huge
living area and outside open sitting deck with Jacuzzi.

BANQUET HALL is provided with separate side entry so that its functioning does not interfere with the
functioning of Resort. Its is connected with kitchen which has separate service entry from back side.
Banquet design for 200 seating with separate male and female toilets.

RESTAURANT Restaurant is provided with a viewing deck for dinning and at the same time outer court
which further act as a buffer space for spill over activities. It has direct connectivity to kitchen services for
better services .
BUNGLOWS Bunglows is provided with a viewing deck for sun bath and view for artificial lake and their is
open family dinning space and at the same time outer court with surrounded pargolas act as a recreational
.
space which has covered walkways for particular family to walk around or sit besides It has seperate
electrical car pathways .
.
Bunglows have two 3bhk which have 3 rooms with attached toilets and balcony their is separate
open dinning for both the houses.

AMPHITHEATRE

Amphitheatre has been designed with a 360 view much similar to street performances. This should serve as a
.
platform to showcase the traditional art from Rajasthan to the tourist This has been acting as an all weather
facility which has a artificial lake view .
MEDITATION BLOCK -:

.
These are further secluded and placed at the center away from the residential zone Resident have a choice of
.
meditating against backdrop of water body Whose wave reflects upon the incident sunshine as shimmering light on the
.
walls These blocks are also connected to the landscaped green where residents can stroll around .

SPA AND SAUNA

These are the placed at entertainment zone only zones as they will be in operation for only part of the day, and are
.
also accessible from swimming pool Both of the spaces are provided with and spaces which can be expanded into
.
Semi private zones Person sitting lake can enjoy the view to the various part of the site but at the same time
panoramic view to the artificial lake .
LANDSCAPING

Landscaping forms an important feature that integrates different spaces of design and
.
reminds the guest of the back waters and lush greenery Gazebo has been developed in the
.
site as a part of soft landscape which has sitting at small intervals
.
Small rocks have been used to create sitting areas It has Connecting walkways over the
.
pargolas Uniform bollard lighting appropriately lighting areas is suggest.

In central block water forms a vortex in the central focal element and landscape is integrated
.
around it Treatment of boundary wall was also a issue of concern so plants and creepers all
along its perimeter will add an organic touch to the environment.

PARKING -:

Parking is provided at the northern and western corner and is located very close to all public zones and administrative
.
zones An attempt has been made to buffer noise and visibility by creation of earth mounts and green landscaping
. .
around the parking lot This parking lot has a capacity of 1 20 cars which can be expanded to 150 cars Some area
.
for tourist buses are available Small area of surface parking is also provided for staff on to the western side of

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES i

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLITY ?

T he term sustainability describes as the quality of not being harmuful to the environment or depleting
natural resource, and thereby supporting long term ecological balance .
The term sustainable and sustainability are used to describe many different approaches long term of
how our actions affect future generation.
GRIHA - GRIHA is a sanskrrit word mean “adobe" GRIHA promotes passive techniques to reduce cost
while keeping the optimus thermal confort inside the building environment.

WHAT DOES GRIHA DOES - they encourages non energy demanding air conditioning system and the
.
solor heating system passive cooling and heating can be replicated for the masses and can reduce the
energy load.

FIVE “ R" PHILOSOPHY

REFUSE: To blindly adope material techniques,products etc specially in areas where equivalent are
available
REDUCE: The dependence on high energy products,systems,processes etc
REUSE: Materials, traditional techniques so as reduce the cost incurred in designing building as well as
in opening them .
RECYCLE: All possible wastes generated from the building site ,during constructs operation and
demolisition .
REINVENT: Engineering system design and practices such that creates global examples that the world
can follow rather than us following international examples .

With only a little wafer to form a very stiff mud, a large lump is roughly moulded into the shape of a

The usual size is anything between 1 2 to 1 8-inches, ( 30 to 40-cm ) long and about 6-inches ( 15-cm) in
diameter.
A row of these cobs of mud are laid neatly side-by- side - preferably somewhat pressed together.
Then another row of cobs is laid on top.
When three or four courses have been laid, one above the other, the sides are smoothed over so that
the holes and cracks disappear.
Openings for doors, and windows are a problem, which can be solved by using temporary vertical
planks or shuttering.
Another very simple shuttering for openings is to use empty kerosene tins.

> RAMMED EARTH

Rammed Earth is the most populare building technique next to

Adobe brick and pressed soil-cement brick construction. Rammed
Earth walls are formed from soil that is just damp enough to hold
together. The earth is tamped between shutters with manual or
pneumatic rammers.
Ingredients
• Sand / gravel 70%
• Clay 30%
• SRE uses 6% of cement
• Normal concrete < 12%
Cement is responsible for 7% of the total C02 product

The second method has developed from the cob wall so as to standardize or regularize the thickness of
the wall.
It is also an attempt to increase the strength of the wall by ramming it. It is known as the Rammed Earth
method.
Two parallel planks are held firmly apart by metal rods and clips or bolts, or by small crosspieces of
wood.
Stiff mud is thrown in between these two planks and rammed down with either a wooden or metal
ramrod.
When one section is completed and hard, the two boards are moved along and the process is repeated
The two planks are then raised up and a second course of rammed earth is repeated over the first.

> EARTH BAGS :

•Humid soil was traditionally poured into wooden lattice works .

Thus, it gave some thermal mass to light structures as well as
some acoustic insulation .

which are hold outside by wooden poles driven into the ground,
•dry soil is also being poured into long synthetic tubes, which
are staked upon each other .

2. STONE AS SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIAL

Stone is a natural product of the Earth, the original green

.
building material It does not require other materials or
resources to create it .
Natural stone contains no harmful chemicals or toxins, so
you can be rest assured that your interior environment will
be healthy, an important component of sustainable design .
Stone is also available regionally and locally.
There are many potential uses and applications for
recycled and salvaged stone. For instance, an old stone
building can be disassembled and the stone reformed or
refinished for use as paving materials, retaining walls, or
.
an exterior facade Small flat stones can be repurposed SECTION DETAIL OF STONE MASONRY
and strategically designed to create a mosaic floor or
wall design .
WHAT IS STONE MASONARY

The construction of stones bonded together with mortar is termed as stone masonry where the stones are
available in a abundance in nature, on cutting and dressing to the proper shape, they provide an economical
material for the construction of various building components such as walls, columns, footings, arches, lintels,
beams etc. Where is stone masonry used? Cladding Works Dams, light houses, monumental structures. Paving
jobs Railway, ballast, black boards and electrical switch boards Building foundations, walls, piers, pillars, and
.
architectural works. Lintels, Beams, beams Arches, domes etc Roofs and Roof coverings .

MASONRY: Construction of building units bonded together, Masonry is basically a wall material Masonry.
walls are divided into three categories, they are
.
1 Load bearing walls
.
2 Non-load bearing walls
.
3 Retaining walls

STONE MASONRY: From times immemorial, stone has been used both for residential as well as public
buildings. Historical buildings that stand today are the living examples of the strength, durability and the
.
excellent weather resisting qualities of stone masonry Because of high crushing strength, stone is used in the
construction of piers, docks, dams and other marine structures. But dressing and placing of stone requires a
.
great deal of time and extra labour Depending upon the degree of refinement used in shaping the stone,
the finishing adopted and the arrangement of the stone in the construction,
stone masonry can be broadly classified in the following two types:
1. Rubble masonry
.
2 Ashlar masonry

RUBBLE MASONRY:
It is further sub-divided in the following categories
1. Uncoursed rubble masonry
.
2 Random rubble masonry
3. Coursed rubble masonry
. .
4 Dry rubble masonry Definitions of terms:

57 | P a g e
 ECO RESORT | 2018

UNCOURSED RUBBLE MASONRY:

This is the poorest form of stone masonry. The stones to be used are directly obtained from quarry, after
merely knocking off weak corner and edges With the masons hammer .

. "I l l I in
Through Mono
*

RANDOM SQUARE RUBBLE MASONRY

This form is slightly superior to uncoursed rubble
masonry in this form the stones used in the work are
hammer or chisel dressed. The stone are not suitably
shaped or finished and as such the elevation of this
type masonry show irregular shape stones with non
.
uniform joints In good work the face stones are of
uniform colour and equal. In this type of stone masonry
the uniform height stones are used in horizontal layers
not less than 13cm in height. fim ’ unman min niwm

ASHLAR MASONRY:
The work built from carefully dressed stones with accurate bedding and jointing is termed as ashlars masonry.
This construction is further subdivided into various types they are
1. Ashlar fine

2 Ashlar rough tool
3. Ashlar chamfered

RECYCLED CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL :

Recycled construction materials can be incorporated in a

variety of ways. Recycled concrete aggregate can be used
in the concrete mix and as a base beneath surface paving .
Also slag, a byproduct of steel production, can be used as
a component of the concrete mix, reducing Industrial waste.
Ground tire rubber can be used in porous asphalt and
reclaimed asphalt pavement in non-porous asphalt .
NATURALISED DETENTION

It is an area used to temporarily store storm water on site

and slowly release it at a controlled rate. These areas are intended to
look and function as native wetlands and include native plants,
providing habitat for birds.

SUMMER SHADING
• The selection of suitable plants for shading depends on the part of the building
.
(e g. walls, outdoor living areas, windows) to be shaded. Different types of plants
(trees, shrubs, vines) can be selected on the basis of their growth habit ( tall, low,
dense, light permeable) to provide the desired degree of shading for various
window orientations and situations .
east and west walls and windows in summer, to protect from intense sun at low
• Vertical shading is best for
..
angles, e g screening by dense shrubs, trees, deciduous vines supported on a frame, shrubs used in
combination with trees

..
•Horizontal shading is best for north-facing windows, e g deciduous vines such as ornamental grape or
wisteria grown over a pergola

• Trees with heavy foliage such as planes and elms are very effective in obstructing the sun's rays and casting
.
a dense shadow Dense shade is cooler than filtered sunlight .

59 | P a g e
 ECO RESORT | 2018

WINTER SUN PENETRATION

•Use deciduous trees and plants, particularly to the

north of the building, to allow the access of winter sun
to north windows.
./ J
•Tall, low-branching evergreen trees should be kept NORTH /
at sufficient distance from north- facing windows to
avoid overshadowing in.
• Where evergreen trees are used for shading, they
summer stale
should have branches high enough to permit the
i
entry of as much sunlight as possible in winter.

TO REDUCE GLARE
jvnbHwm
• Use low-growing shrubs, ground cover or grass to Kr r breejes

absorb reflected glare.

• Avoid large areas of paving near the building to
reduce reflected glare and ground temperature,
especially north- facing windows; and shade large
areas of paving with trees or pergolas and planting.

wntasun

BLOCKING WINTER BREEZES

• Windbreaks are most effective when located at 90° to
the direction of the wind.
• Although wind velocity can be reduced by 50% for a distance of 10 to 20 times the height, the maximum
protection on the leeward side of a windbreak is provided for a distance of three to seven times the height
( e.g. a windbreak of 6 m in height should be planted between 20-40 m from the area to be protected.
•Earth mounds may be utilized to deflect winds.
•Large dense shrubs can be used as windbreaks to the south- west to counter cold winter winds, and channel
cooling summer breezes

•Medium to large- sized shrubs or trees clipped to form a hedge can

provide useful still air insulation and shading when grown close to a wall

•Planting can be utilized to promote natural ventilation by positioning to

deflect air flow through the building

The edges and entrances define physical boundary and transition between campus and surrounding
community while creating visually inviting spaces that provide a positive, welcoming first impression to campus
.
visitors

COURTYARS
Courtyards are typically smaller, more intimate gathering spaces that
are enclosed, at least partially by buildings and generally serve the
buildings they are adjacent to. These spaces are often planted with a
more diverse range of plant species that cannot be planted in more
open areas .
PLAYING FIELDS
Large areas of artificial turf used for intramural sports, each demanding specific maintenance requirements .
Playing fields may also occur as open spaces adjacent to or within the campus core.

SURFACE PARKING
Surface parking in the Historic Campus Core and Mid-Campus consists of smaller lots, adjacent to buildings,
that are used primarily for vehicle accessibility or loading /unloading

• CONCLUSION

The aim of the design in hot-dry regions should be to lower both daytime and night-time temperatures
in and around the environment buildings as much as possible to the comfort conditions. This can be
achieved by keeping building envelopes or surface areas of buildings minimally exposed to the sun.
After finalizing data collected , the project appeared in a more clear way. In this research I had collect
all the information about the general zoning of the site is created based on the previous analysis of
case studies and space program, finally selected site based on the important criteria. At the end, all
the previous chapters have developed a clear vision of how I would want my project to function and
look like. Having this thesis written will help me in the design stage in the following step.
