STAGE 1: CASE STUDY, SECONDARY STUDY & SITE ANALYSIS.

The Evaluation at this stage will include the follows:

1. Project Introduction, Need, Aims, Objectives, Scope and Limitations.

2. Secondary Study: Data, Theory, Standards, Case Studies(minimum 3)
3. Site study & Analysis
(i) Relevance of Site Selection
(ii) Location & Key Plan (City map showing the site)
(iii)Site plan/Land Use Plan (1:400 1:800) showing the surroundings-
(Information should be in the form of drawings/ sketches/photographs)
Site Details
Land Use Reference
Master Plan Zoning (Recreational, Industrial, residential, commercial etc.)
Neighborhood Analysis- Interrelationship of Site with Neighboring
properties / Landuse
Natural elements present in the site surroundings (River, rocks, trees etc.)
The connectivity to the main road and other sub roads
The distances from the major landmarks such as :
a. Railway Station
b. Airport
c. Bus stand
d. Shopping centers, etc.
Dimensions of Site, Layout Plan including Surrounding Roads, Footpaths,
etc
Sciography of existing structure, vegetation etc
Landscape trees marked in sizes.
(ii) Local, Building bye-laws & Area of site, volumetric study of building based on
permissible ground coverage, FAR, Setbacks, height restrictions & parking
norms.
(iii)Environmental Factors of the Site -
 Climate- Site location, climatic zone, Orientation/ North point , wind
direction, humidity, precipitation, Sun Path Analysis preferred views and
other relevant parameters as applicable to the project
Possible polluting sources in the surrounding.
Environmentally sensitive areas in the vicinity.
(iv) Topography of the site: In case of contour site following should be shown
Plan of site
Slope Analysis
Site Drainage etc.
(v) Type of Soil, Soil Bearing Capacity, Foundation type with measures against
Disaster.
(vi) Site Services: infrastructure available in & around the site.
Water Supply
Electricity Lines
Drainage & Sewerage Lines
Telephone and Cable Lines, etc.

4. Primary Case studies

(xvi) Study of various buildings (minimum 3) of similar nature & magnitude under
the following heads.
! Site Plan, Zoning(Area and function), Floor plans
! Geometry & Structure of the building
! Section analysis
! Circulation; Vehicular, Pedestrian & Parking, etc.
! Service ; Areas under various services i.e. Electric , HVAC, Fire Fighting ,
Building Automation System
! Materials & Fenestration ; Study of Building with respect to climate
Pros and Cons in the design
Inference & Inputs to be drawn from the all case studies & the comparison to
be done with standards and secondary case studies.
 vii. Area Analysis- Detailed area Programme & requirement based on case
studies & standards
viii. Summarization of site analysis with reference to case studies & area
requirements leading to zoning strategy shown as in bubble diagram. The
size of bubbles must relate to the bulk of the building & also show the
interrelationship of various activities.

Deliverables for Stage 1:- This will be in form of well composed A1

drawing sheets (max 10 in nos.) covering all aspects as mentioned above.
Supporting information/ data may be supplemented on other sheets if
necessary.
