ABSTRACT

This thesis project aims to develop a design for an jungle resort in forest area at iconic place dudh
sagar, Goa, India. This thesis project is based upon theoretical influence of HITESH MEHTA and
his explorations of the principles of ecotourism. An important elements of this project is gaining a
theoretical understanding of the forms of local architecture and their thesis methods of construction.
The project aims to deal with the site, climate, development of tourism, showing the beauty of
nature.

The site chosen for the project is located on the iconic location of Dudh sagar water in Goa. The
site is currently a touristic place and the site is connect with the view point of Dudh dagar
waterfalls. The project site is proposed as a way to promote to providing rest area and cottages for
tourist and nature lovers.

SYNOPSIS

1.1 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE-

With the rapid development of the times, the activities of the public will increase. This busyness
can be in the form of busy working in an office, college, school and so on which can cause a feeling
of boredom. Therefore, we need a comfortable place for resting, and refreshing for the visitors, in
the form of resort with special local natural potential.

Goa is one of the world's tourist destinations that is favoured by both local and foreign tourists, with
a variety of potentials that can attract tourists such as natural beauty, cultural uniqueness, social life,
as well as various religious ritual activities. Along with the number of visits to Goa, it is hoped that
there will be growth in the residential sector (hotel resorts) which can accommodate the number of
tourists visiting Goa. One of the famous tourist attractions in the Goa region is nature tourism.
From the description above, the Goa area is very potential if it is used as an accommodation that
can provide a feel of comfort and ensure privacy for its users but still contains elements of
recreation by utilizing the existing natural potential. This requires planning and designing a resort
hotel where these facilities are commercial for lease. This resort functions as an accommodation as
well as recreation for tourists and is equipped with supporting facilities. The surrounding natural
conditions are used as the main attraction for resort hotels. Seeing the beautiful natural potential of
Dudh sagar and the traditional elements that want to be highlighted, a design approach was chosen
with the hope of being able to create resort hotel by prioritizing the concept of back to nature, to
introduce, preserve, increase the cultural values and traditions of trides and educate tourists to
protect and appreciate natural environment.

1.2 HISTORY

1.2.1 Roman Empire: Baths

The origin of resorts can be traced back to the second century B.C. to the public baths of Rome.
The first baths were small, modest and separated the genders. Eventually, the baths became larger,
more elaborate and were opened to both men and women. These baths were large buildings built at
the public’s expense. Some were even built by wealthy emperors who wanted to make a statement.
Most baths were free but few had small entrance fees. Baths were much like resorts of today
because of all the amenities offered at their location. After bathing there was always plenty to do.
Most baths included gyms, libraries, snack bars, restaurants, shops, lounges, taverns, museums and
theatres. The facilities were used for health and social purposes.

1.2.2 Europe: Mass follows class

The first noteworthy resort area was developed in Belgium in 1326 in a town now called Spa.
An ironmaster, named Colin le Loup, was cured of a long-term illness when he bathed in the iron-
rich waters near Liege. He opened a shelter there and the town surged in popularity. Spa means
fountain.

10
 11

The popularity of spas and resorts in England is a result of King Charles II visiting trendy hot
spots in the 1600s.Today, royalty and superstars still seem to set trends of where the best places to
go are. Many English spas are unique because they have gambling and dancing. Spas also became
popular because of the medical benefits that were attributed to them such as waters that were rich in
certain minerals and could cure ailments.
The Swiss resort industry was developed in the 1800s to aid the need of private resort facilities
for more prosperous people. At the time, travel was not simple. People who travelled to resorts
stayed for long periods of time up to two months to get the best value for their travel expenses.
Hotel Baur au Lac, built in Zurich, was the first resort to utilize the value of a scenic view. At first,
Switzerland resorts were seen as summer places, but soon skiing became popular as well as
gambling.

2 LITERATURE STUDY

14
 15

2.1 VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE:

• Vernacular architecture is an architectural style that is designed based on local needs,
availability of construction materials and reflecting local traditions.

• The term vernacular is derived from the Latin vernaculus, meaning "domestic, native and
indigenous", from Verna, meaning "native slave" or "home-born slave". The word probably
derives from an older Etruscan word.

• The term is borrowed from linguistics, where vernacular refers to language use particular
to a time, place or group.

• Vernacular architecture did not use formally-schooled architects, but relied on the design
skills and tradition of local builders. However, since the late 19th century many professional
architects have worked in this style.
• Vernacular architecture can be contrasted against polite architecture which is characterized
by stylistic elements of design intentionally incorporated for aesthetic purposes which go
beyond a building's functional requirements.
Ronald Brunskill has defined the ultimate in vernacular architecture as:
a building designed by an amateur without any training in design; the individual will have
been guided by a series of conventions
built up in his locality, paying little
attention to what may be fashionable.
The function of the building would be
the dominant factor, aesthetic
considerations, though present to some
small degree, being quite minimal.
Local materials would be used as a
matter of course, other materials being
chosen and imported quite
exceptionally.
INFLUENCES ON THE VERNACULAR:

15
 16

Vernacular architecture is influenced by a great range of different aspects of human behaviour and
environment, leading to differing building forms for
almost every different context; even neighbouring
villages may have subtly different approaches to the
construction and use of their dwellings, even if they at
first appear the same. Despite these variations, every
building is subject to the same laws of physics, and
hence will demonstrate significant similarities
in structural forms.
CLIMATE INFLUENCES:
One of the most significant influences on vernacular architecture is the macro climate of the area in
which the building is constructed. Buildings in cold climates invariably have high thermal mass or
significant amounts of insulation. They are usually sealed in order to prevent heat loss, and openings such
as windows tend to be small or non-existent. Buildings
in warm climates, by contrast, tend to be constructed of
lighter materials and to allow significant cross-
ventilation through openings in the fabric of the
building.
A log cabin in the region of Kysuce(Slovakia) - an
example of vernacular architecture in relatively cold
mountain climate using local materials (wood).
Buildings for a continental climate must be able to cope with significant variations in temperature, and
may even be altered by their occupants according to the seasons.
Buildings take different forms depending on precipitation levels in the region – leading to dwellings on
stilts in many regions with frequent flooding or rainy monsoon seasons. Flat roofs are rare in areas with
high levels of precipitation. Similarly, areas with high winds will lead to specialised buildings able to cope
with them, and buildings will be oriented to present minimal area to the direction of prevailing winds.
Climatic influences on vernacular architecture are substantial and can be extremely complex.
Mediterranean vernacular, and that of much of the Middle East, often includes a courtyard with a fountain
or pond; air cooled by water mist and evaporation is drawn through the building by the natural ventilation
set up by the building form.

16
 17

Similarly, Northern African vernacular often has very high thermal mass and small windows to keep the
occupants cool, and in many cases also includes chimneys, not for fires but to draw air through the internal
spaces. Such specializations are not designed, but learned by trial and error over generations of building
construction, often existing long before the scientific theories which explain why they work. Vernacular
Architecture is also used for the purposes of local citizens.
CULTURAL INFULENCE:
The way of life of building occupants, and the way they use their shelters, is of great influence on building
forms. The size of family units, who shares which spaces, how food is prepared and eaten, how people
interact and many other cultural considerations will affect the layout and size of dwellings.

2.2 STANDARDS FOR BUILDING UNITS IN THE RESORT:

ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING:
Administration controls all the functions in the Resort.According to the space standards the
administration requires a minimum space of 120 Sq.m to 140 Sq. m.and it consists of
• Entrance Lobby

doors to set down passengers and luggage and also to allow vehicles to wait picking up
visitors without obstructing the main road.
• At the reception office on arrival, the tourist will have their rooms allotted to them.
• The reception office itself should be long and fairly generous in area to accommodate the
very large numbers who arrive in short span of time.

building so that the latter exercises some control over all persons speaking to callers before
admitting them.
• Car parking and garage space is kept to one side of the main vehicular entrance and exit so
that these need not be obstructed.
• Service buildings are places away from all other buildings but on the route of all traffic
leaving the parking space on its way to main road.

2.2.3 LOUNGES:
• This is separate from the dining for the resorts having capacity over 300 persons.
• This room may be used for dancing, or concerts, involves a considerable amount of labor,
which is rapidly followed by the replacement of furniture ready for breakfast.
• The total area provided for lounges, games rooms, etc., should be at least 0.93sq.m for every
person up to the resorts maximum, and allowance which may be increased with advantage if
it is considered that the cost will permit additional space for these purposes. Lounges must
be spacious.
• A good proportion of window area should be capable of opening to provide, on occasion,
semi-open air preference to the rooms and to add to the general effect and comfort on
summer evenings.

2.2.4 COTTAGES:
• Depending upon the usage factor the length and width of rooms are decided. There may be
double bed or single bed.

• Separate play areas might be offered to accommodate very young children.
• Playground design is influenced by the intended purpose and audience.
• A park shall offer multiple play areas is used equally by boys and girls.
• It is important that children gradually develop the skill of risk assessment, and a completely
safe environment does not allow that.
• The kinds of equipment to be found in playgrounds have changed, often towards safer
equipment built with plastic.

2.7 3.3.3 Thoroughfare Standards

The urban element that provides the major part of the public space as well
as moving lanes for vehicles. A thoroughfare is endowed with two
attributes:
capacity and character.
Capacity is the number of vehicles that can move safely through a segment of a thoroughfare within
a given time period
Character is the suitability of a thoroughfare as a setting for both vehicular
and pedestrian activities and as a setting for a variety of building types.

29
 30

38 39 3.3.4 Nalla Corridors:

The nalla corridor is not a set physical width, but responds to numerous variables including terrain,
elevation, water flow volumes and velocity, stream bed materials and vegetation. In order to
properly preserve the integrity of the nalla corridors, the actual corridor width will be considered
variable and the definition of the corridor protection limits shall include a naturally vegetated nalla
buffer strip that extends a minimum of 7.5 meters beyond the top of bank at either side of the nalla.
This vegetated nalla buffer provides for capture and treatment of storm water runoff and provides
erosion protection for the nalla banks. No development is to occur within the entire corridor width,
including the 7.5 meter buffer at either side. This development restriction applies to all nalla
corridors, including those that occur within private parcels or lots.

3.1 WILDERNEST FOREST RESORT -

33
 34

3.1.1 PRINCIPLE-
• The concept of ‘being one with nature’ is exploited here in various ways, to establish a
metaphysical link between man and nature. Never synthetic, here both architecture as well as
development always follow the organic principles of design and space. The most distinctive

feature of’ is its almost casual and yet aesthetic and rural effect. Abiding by its
principal mission statement of conserving the biodiversity of the region by practicing in-situ
conservation, natural landscaping has been practiced and the use of indigenous plants is being
promoted.
• Besides which the entire area is demarked as a plastic free zone and the garbage disposal of the
generated biodegradable waste, is done through effective microbe composting, while sewage
disposal is being done without using chemical effluents.
• Even wood, used as a raw material for construction of our Eco-huts has been procured from the
social forestry sector. Intelligent use of power backed by specially designed software, for power
conservation is in place and rainwater harvesting is being practiced for water preservation.

3.2.12 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND TYPE

Green Village in Bali, Indonesia is an architectural gem – a dream like setting. Built by the design team,
Ibuku, a company that strives to create residences where people can maintain an ‘authentic relationship
with nature’.

Green Village is constructed completely of bamboo, including the stairs, cabinets, walls and furniture.
The designer’s website states “new treatment methods have given bamboo a capacity for long life. We
harvest and treat all of our own bamboo, selecting for density and maturity, then lab test to confirm its
integrity”.

The buildings are nothing short of beautiful spectacular. Surrounded by lush, jungle-like greenery,
circular doors and floor-to-ceiling windows open to the gorgeous outdoors. The design gives a wide
open, one-with-nature feel to the residences.

Bamboo stalks appear to serve as intricately placed architectural posts, while the stairs and railings
depict hand carved, unique pieces of structural art.

The Bamboo houses are designed and built around the natural contours of each plot with rare views of
the river front and the volcanoes of Bali. The concept is to create beautiful living spaces, in which
people can live where luxury and comfort fit into natural landscapes. We have many homeowners from
around the world who value what we do and believe in our ethos that we can combine sustainability and
style without destroying the environment in which we live.
