ANIMATION VISUAL EFFECTS GAMING AND COMICS (AVGC) INDUSTRIAL HUB

SPECIAL STUDY TOPIC - ACOUSTICS
DEFINITION
The AVGC sector is represented by companies, joint ventures, focus groups, consultants, and creative professionals engaged in the business of
conception, production, post-production, media and intellectual property rights management, publishing and marketing of animation, visual
effects, special effects, editing, digital game development including mobile, console, desktop games (excluding gambling) and comics content.
They also actively promote the products and related services such as the development of software used in pre-production, production, and
postproduction pipelines, education and advanced research, development of AVGC subjects, related technology, and its business
management. (source: KAVGC policy 2017-2022)
The term AVGC is exclusively used in India, started by the central and various state governments, to promote the growth of gaming, animation,
visual effects, and comics together, as they are deeply related to one other.

Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics are one of the booming industries in India. In the past, the origins started in the USA and Japan
and spread through Europe. Currently, China and Korea have emerged as major contributing nations for the industry. In 2019, the revenue for
Gaming alone was US$ 122 billion, while for global box office and music combined, generated US$ 64.5 billion, proving how the gaming
industry has overtaken other forms of entertainment.
Though the industry was silent for the past years in India, the trend has reversed, with the state and central government supporting it. Some of the
measures taken by the Governments are as follows:
1. KAVGC Policy 2012-2017 - The government of Karnataka introduced policies to support the AVGC sector for five years.
2. KAVGC Policy 2017-2022
3. ITES Policy of Maharashtra 2015
4. Global AVGC Virtual Summit 2020 - Conducted by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of Karnataka and Conferderation
of Indian Industry.
5. In 2021 Ministry of Information and Broadcasting announced the Centre of Excellence for the AVGC sector and will partner with IIT Bombay
to include courses for animation, game development, and visual effects.
6. Image Policy 2016 - The Government of Telangana announced developing an infrastructural tower, consisting of commercial, entertainment,
and development office spaces.
7. Foundation laid for the Image tower in 2017, with investments of Rs. 946 crores. The tower offers an area of 148640 sqm and will provide jobs
for 30,000 people.

METHODOLOGY

PURPOSE
To establish a hub for the AVGC sector, to produce talents and successful Intellectual Properties, to boost the economy, and to have cultural
influence around the world.
OBJECTIVES
1. To promote annual industrial growth and revenue for the sunrise sector.
2. Providing commercial spaces to promote the toy industry by producing strong Intellectual Properties through animation, gaming, and comics.
3. Promote multiplayer games and gaming competitions through a separate event space.
4. To produce talents needed to support the AVGC industry.
5. Provide employment opportunities and spread awareness about the sector
6. Create a new cultural identity and promote Indian influence overseas.
SCOPE
1. Establish a platform where the four sectors can collaborate and coexist, producing successful IPs.
2. Designing workspaces for developing indie to AAA games, across various genres like single-player, massive multiplayer, virtual reality etc, on
mobile, PC, and console.
3. Designing workspaces for animation and visual effects segment, ranging from movie to series
4. Designing workspaces for comic development - to produce new IPs and to support IPs from the other sectors.
5. Providing spaces to sell merchandise and gadgets of successful IPs and create an environment similar to Akihabara in Japan.
6. Providing entertainment and immersive spaces through VR rooms, museums, arcades, etc.
7. Promoting Esports through designing an Esports venue for high-profile gaming events.
8. Establishing institutes to produce the industry talents.

PROPOSED PLACE FOR THE PROJECT
From the understanding of the involvement of various state governments in the development of the sunrise sector, the Government of Karnataka is
more interested and involved than the other governments. In the 2012 KAVGC Policy, the government has earmarked 70000 sqm of land towards
the development of an AVGC hub in the electronic City of Bangalore.
Electronic city is filled with IT parks - TCS, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, etc., the environment is very apt for establishing an AVGC hub. The AVGC and IT,
are similar in the aspects of software and servers. Developing a hub in Bangalore will make it dominant in the sector along with being a powerhouse
in the IT sector.

Electronic City is an information technology hub
in Bangalore, India, located in Anekal taluk.[2][3] It is one
of India's largest electronic/IT industrial parks, spread
over 800 acres (3.2 km²) in Konappana Agrahara and
Doddathogur villages. Electronic City was established
by KEONICS (Karnataka State Electronics Development
Corporation), and consists of four zones called phases –
Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV. There are
approximately 200 IT/ITES company campuses located
in Electronic City, including main campuses
of Infosys, Wipro, TCS, HCL, Tech Mahindra and Biocon.

public and employees.
The E Sports Venue will have less traffic compared to commercial

and workspace and the institution will have the least traffic with
students.

DESIGN GUIDELINES EVOLVED
FROM THE LITERATURE STUDIES
AND OTHER ANALYSIS

IMAGE TOWER, HYDERABAD
AVGC TOWER
WORKPLACE + COMMERCIAL
1. The detailed site plan gives an idea of the site elements that has to
be considered for the AVGC tower design.
2. The detailed floor plans and section give an idea how the service
core is designed and the office space are arranged around the
central service core.
3. The floor plans are typically designed with a central service core
which accommodates toilets, cut out and various service shafts. The
floor plans is divided into 4 office spaces, where each part will
have its exclusive lift core and fire exit staircase.
4. The data are taken from the EIA report of this project, which gives
guidelines about the water requirement, environmental impacts and
various stages of the construction process

STRUCTURAL ASPECTS
1. The Thesis Design may involve the design of single tower or two or
three towers , with each tower being exclusive with game,
animation and VFX development. In case of the designing the
AVGC tower into 2 or 3 towers, skybridge element can be used to
tie the towers for accommodating and providing circulation
between the two towers.
2. The skybridge utilised in the case study project, not only was used
as a concept, it was used as a structural element. The tower was
designed in a slender way leading it to high sway due to wind. The
sky bridge acts the ties down the two towers from sawing due to
high wind.
3. The amenities are provided in the sky bridges, which gives an idea
on how effectively the amenities spaces can be zoned within a
high rise design.

DEPARTMENT – HIGH RISE
BUILDINGS, 2019
WORKSPACE
1. Square, circular, hexagonal, octagonal and similar plan forms are

more space efficient than the rectangular plans with high aspect
ratios and irregular shapes. Buildings with symmetrical plan shapes
are also less susceptible to wind and seismic loads.
2. Refuge area is required in buildings of height more than 24m. The

area of each Refuge area is 4% of the area it serves. The first refuge
is provided at 24m and every 7th floor above 24m.
3. Leasing depth or lease span is the distance of the usable area

between the exterior wall and the fixed interior element, such as the
core or the multi-tenant corridor. The depth of lease span must be
between 10.0 and 14.0m for office functions, except where very
large single tenant groups are to be accommodated.

Service cores typically contain the following elements:
1. Elevator shafts.
2. Elevator lobby.
3. Staircases — both main & fire escape.
4. Toilets.
5. Ancillary rooms such as pantry.
6. Mechanical vertical service riser-ducts e.g. for electrical power &
lighting. water. sewerage pipes. rainwater downpipes. firefighting.
exhaust ducts etc.
7. Mechanical vertical fire protection risers for sprinklers. hose reels.
wet & dry risers.

SWISSTECH CONVENTION
CENTER, SWITZERLAND
ESPORTS VENUE
1. The convention hall utilises a unique seating pattern, where the
seating hall can be used in various formats. It can be divided and
used for two or three purposed at the same time or completed
made flat to accommodate banquet hall seating.
2. The case study provides data on the structural system used for the
roofing element. The roof design of a auditorium will play a major
role in the overall form of the auditorium.
3. The lobby spaces are interestingly designed with utilising various

colours in the façade glass panel.
4. The seating pattern is in fan shaped form, as typically fan shaped

profile is preferred in majority of auditorium designs.

INSTITUTE, THAILAND
INSTITUTE
1. The institute design in the Thesis project will be explored in a
vernacular style in contrast to the contemporary design for the
AVGC tower and the Esports venue. The case study institute is
designed in a unique vernacular way with the use of varying
heights and materials, giving a false depiction to the users viewing
outside.
2. The case study also provides details about the spaces that are
needed for the institute concerned with game, animation and VFX
development and how they are zoned within the building
environment.
3. Two different roofing systems are used – RCC slab and trusses,
and bricks are arranged with the support of steel component
systems thereby giving the structure a massive look in terms of
width.

COMMERCIAL
1. This case study helped in getting design ideas for integrating the
commercial and office segment in a single building and the spaces
in both the typologies can be in integrated.
2. In situations where the columns in office floor intervene in the

circulation of the commercials segment Post Tensioned slabs and
floating columns can be used to achieve higher spans. This
structural method can be useful for basement design also.
3. The case study project also has a huge cut-out in the office space
which brings in ample amount of sunlight to light the commercial
spaces.

USER ACTIVITY ANALYSIS
INFERENCE
1. In the workspace segment, the development cycle for a game or a

animated movie will vary between 2 – 6 years. In the final stages
of the production process, developers undergo a period called
crunch, where in order to finish the project before the deadline,
developers undergo sleepless nights and working and fine tuning
the project before release. This crunch time frame varies between
each studio and thereby the offices spaces will be open for 24
hours during the crunch period.
2. The visitors can access the office spaces which are not sensitive in
revealing crucial information of the project.
3. The Esports venue, instead of being a typical auditorium space will

house interacting spaces and press conference spaces for the
players, fans and the reporters to interact.

A ceiling height of 3.0-3.10m is suitable for buildings with little service

equipment, no suspended ceilings and heating pipes on an exterior
wall. Electric power should be supplied through ducts in window sills
or floors, and the power supply for ceiling lights through conduits or
partitions. Corridor areas should also be used for ducts and pipes.
A ceiling height of 3.4m is suitable for a building with some service

equipment, but without ventilation equipment. Ducts under the floor in
corridor areas (h = 32cm) should be used for heat, electricity and
water.
A ceiling height of 3.70m is suitable for office buildings using

ventilation equipment. A duct height of at least 50cm is needed for
air-conditioned offices, with long ducts in the corridor area.
Open-plan offices need a clear ceiling height of only 3.00 m.

However, the ceiling height should be 4.20m if ventilation ducts are to
be installed. All height-related building components affect the cost of
the building in relation to its usable office floor area.

CLIMATE ANALYSIS USING
MAHONEY TABLE

The Mahoney Tables are a set of tables to analyze climates in order to provide building design recommendations for a given location (Bangalore).
The variables used for analysis are Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT), Relative Humidity (RH), Wind speed and direction and precipitation.
The climatic data required for the table were collected in the previous review as part of the climatic data requirement, which will be used to input
the required data’s in the Mahoney Table and arrive at the design considerations.

ACOUSTICS
Review 2
A case study was presented, where the students of Taylor University, Kuala Lumpur analysed Reverberation Time of Calvary
Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur. It was explained that the students analysis process will be used as the design process in my
design of the E Sports Venue.
Review 3
With further study of acoustics, the term variable acoustics was explored, where the Reverberation Time of a hall can be
manipulated with variable absorption or variable volume method. Two research papers about analysis of Reverberation Time of a
auditorium space using variable acoustics, was presented. The ‘IS 2526 – Code of Practice for Acoustical Design of Auditorium
and Conventional Halls’ was also presented.

ESPORTS VENUE (1200
SEATS)
The Esports Venue, which is a part of the project, will have the special
study implemented in the design process. Initially It was decided to
have gaming events to be the only activity accommodated in the
Esports venue. With further study abouts acoustics for review 3, it was
decided to accommodate other acoustical activities like musical events,
gaming presentations and awards.
To accommodate various acoustical activities demanding unique

Reverberation Time, the concept of variable acoustics will be utilised.
The variable acoustics is divided into two categories- Variable
Absorption and Variable Volume.
The Esports Venue will accommodate the following activates:

1. Gaming Events – RT 0.8 – 1.2 sec
2. Musical Events related to Gaming – RT 1.0– 2.1 sec
3. Game Presentations and Announcements – RT 0.8 – 1.2 sec
4. Game Awards Shows – RT 0.8 – 1.2 sec

From the comparison between the variable absorption and
variable volume, the variable volume method is cost effective and
easy to implement. Therefore the variable volume method wil be
used for the acoustical design of the E Sports venue.
APPLICATION PROCESS
The special study will be implemented from the preliminary stages
of the design process of the E Sports Venue. The design elements
involved are:
1. The seating profile

2. Wall profile
3. Ceiling profile
4. Acoustical materials for seating, walls, stage and ceiling
SEATING PROFILE
From the inference of the special study done in the previous
reviews, fan shaped seating profile is preferred for a multipurpose
hall design. The fan shaped profile also offers good view angle for
the audience.
Amplification systems has to be used when the distance of the

stage to last row exceeds 23m.

WALL AND CEILING PROFILE
The convex shaped wall and ceiling profile are preferred for a
multipurpose hall. The ceiling profile will be explored with various
heights, thereby changing the volume of the auditorium and altering
the RT time needed for a particular acoustical activity.
