SHOPPING CUM OFFICE COMPLEX

1.0 INTRODUCTION

High-rise mixed use building offers solutions to both problems by maximizing the number of people
that can live and work on a scarce, fixed amount of available land. Increasing demands for urban spaces
pushed the environment to grow vertical and compact. Mixed-use development is the practice of
allowing more than one type of use in a building or set of buildings. In planning terms, this can mean
some combination of commercial, office. This tends to create shorter distance between work, residence
and recreation and goes a long way to enhance the livelihood of the inhabitants.

2.0 PROJECT INTENTIONS

To explore the design issues and goals in high rise mixed use development. The designing and
planning of high rise mixed use development must involve consideration of all prevailing conditions and
guided by the local bye-laws. The various functional needs, efficiency, economy, energy conservation,
aesthetics, technology, fire and life safety solution, vertical transportation, human comforts, operation
and maintenance practices, provision of future growth are some of the main factors to be incorporated in
the design.

3.0 OBJECTIVE

 To introduce buildings as consumers of resources for human needs and to enable responsible,
creative addressing of this fact through design choices.
 To enable an understanding of architectural design as integrating diverse functional concerns in
 a building through analysis and innovation.
 To impart training in the resolving of spatial considerations with other physical aspects such as
Structures, services and climate.

4.0 PROJECT BRIEF:

This project is focused on the following potential areas –

 To inculcate the importance of services integration and construction in spatial planning in the
context of design of High-rise buildings and service intensive buildings.
 To highlight on the importance of High rise buildings as elements of identity in urban areas and
urban design principles that govern their design.
 To explore computer aided presentation techniques involving 2D and 3D drawings, walkthrough
and models as required.
 Areas of focus/ issues: sustainable building practices, green issues, alternative energy, intelligent
building techniques and service integration& Architectural Detailing

5.0 METHODOLOGY

This methodology chart explains the

 First step, about the study of general information of high rise planning. This includes the
components of high rise planning, definition of high rise and its complex services.
 The next step is the study of high rise planning from various case studies.
 The classification of issues in different aspects is made from the findings.
 The detail study is made for each aspects through different case studies.
 Finally, the concept for the design is evolved, and progressed towards developing the design

6.0 INSTRUCTIONAL TARGET

The design strength is determined and validated based on the following benefit. The design process
and the product are to integrate these benefits which have to be conceptualized at the initial stage
and progressively pursued in the final stage of detailing.

 An ability to understand issues in buildings with respect to density, services and energy
consumption as well as make the right choices in design situations involving these issues.
 Understand Green Building concepts and basic principles of sustainable built environment
 Incorporate services Integration
 Understand context based programme & design
 To explore the design of buildings addressing the needs of the users, socio – cultural &
economic needs of contemporary urban society.
 To enable the students to understand the importance of spatial planning within the
constraints of the Development Regulations in force for urban areas.
To emphasize on the importance of understanding the relationship between open space and built form,
built form to built form and site planning principles involving landscaping circulation network and parking.

7.0 DESIGN BRIEF

Mixed-use development is a type of urban development that blends residential, commercial, cultural,
institutional, or entertainment uses, where those functions are physically and functionally integrated, and
that provide pedestrian connections. Whatever the combination, it brings together several uses within
either one building or a small area.

These days, designing mixed use + entertainment spaces is about fusing living, working, dining and
shopping into an experience that pulls people in. The places people meet, gather and connect are fast
becoming must-see destinations.
Residents have private elevators and private entrances which separate them from the public hotel and
retail entrances. Plus, there’s the added benefit that when friends and relatives come to visit residents,
they can have their own space and privacy by staying nearby in the hotel.

Scope of the project is to design a mixed use high rise which comprises of Retail (30%), Hotel
(30%), multiplex (20%), office (20%).

MALLS are an upcoming trend in Retail market. The concept is based on constructing centrally
air– conditioned malls and renting the floor space out to individual shops. Shoppers use the same parking
facilities and there is a combined brand pull of all outlets. Malls inspire fashion–based shopping, as
distinct from the need–based shopping inspired by super–markets and discount stores. Malls seek to
position themselves as destination shopping locations.

MULTIPLEX
Historically, cinemas in India were set up as single-screen theatres with a large seating capacity with
inadequate infrastructure, slack maintenance, outdated technology, poor audio–visual quality, paltry
ticket prices, pathetic occupancy rates, high taxation and dwindling profits. Theatres were owned by
proprietors or partners who were unfocussed and had poor management skills. Since then, multiplexes
have grown phenomenally.
Multiplex embodies the luxurious amenities of the modern day cinema -the multiple screen choices,
state-of-the-art technology, ergonomic seating, eye-catching architecture, and top of the line
concessions, restaurants, and food courts integrating shopping with cinema to generate better
opportunities and making it lucrative.
OFFICE
Office space with service uses oriented to the office workers.
