Modern building / planning
Modern
buildings are planned for specific purpose by giving consideration for site,
climate, character and style. The Planning of housing schemes shall follow the
existing laws and principles applicable to a wide variety of buildings. Based
on creativity of an architect or an engineer those laws and principles within
the frame work can be developed. The major factors considered for the planning
concept of housing schemes or such as aspect, roominess, flexibility, grouping,
privacy, elegance.
Aspect
The
natural sunshine, wind and scenery should be utilized for comfort, hygiene and
cheerfulness to the uses of buildings or housing schemes. The room which
receives air and light from a particular direction then it is said to have
aspect of that direction. For eg. A kitchen should have an eastern side aspect
so that the morning sun would refresh, purify the air and remains cool in the
later part of they day.
The living room
may have southern or south eastern aspect while the bedrooms have west or southwest aspect.
Roominess
Roominess is
defined as the
method of getting maximum benefit
that is derived from minimum possible dimension
of the room. For example
square room of size 3.6X3.6m, a table of size 1.2X1.2m is kept for a
purpose. Here only a little space is available around the table. In a
rectangular room of size 4X3.2m the same 1.2X1.2m is kept. In this case in the
same area of room we have more space for additional use or utilization such as
shelves or keeping other things, etc. it is advisable to have a length to
breadth of rooms proportionate in the ratio 1:5:1 to 2:1.
Flexibility
Flexibility
means use of space for any required purpose conveniently or with alignment. For
Ex.
1)
Separating the living room and dining hall with removable partition like
aluminum panels, wooden panels, and prefabricated wall panels.
2)
Constructing the house in front of the site and leaving sufficient space in the
backside for future extension of house.
Grouping
Grouping
is defined as maintaining the relationship between the spaces of rooms at the
planning stage itself. For eg planning thr during room near to the kitchen. So
the cooked item can be easy access towards sanitary units. Location of
store
room near kitchen leads to easy access. Similarly administrative section and
office are grouped together. Similarly production the quality control, storage
and dispatch section is grouped near to each other.
Privacy
Privacy
means the nature of free feeling of usage of space. These are of two types.
Privacy is ensured by carefully planning the entrance, passage, pathways, etc.
in case of housing scheme, the privacy should be ensured by providing all the
facilities separately to all the house sites.
(a) Internal privacy:
It means
the internal parts of the building have the required privacy from the other
part/other rooms.
(b) External
privacy:
It means
the provision of the potigo, garden, open space, public streets, roads and
neighboring buildings.
Elegance
It is the
effect produce by the elevation of the buildings and the general layout of the
housing scheme. Symmetry gives elegance always. The elegance depends on the
character and purpose of the buildings. The elegance incase of housing schemes
is brought out by the wider roads and streets, the required proportionate size
(length and breadth) of site/plot.
