95 % OF THE VILLAGE IN DAHEJ-BHARUCH AREA HAVE PONDS,

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PONDS=

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VILLAGES

01. identification of irrigation canal

02. identification of waterway from irrigation canal to each ponds 04. identification of clusters and hierarchy within them

03. identification of control points

05. indexting of pond/village that the control points are responsible for

Built Environment

Site Area

left bottom image: highlighted area = selectted site to work with

<potential for future growth>-adjacent to bharuch -between two major highway

<condition>-lack of walk oriented network between villages-extremely hot climate ....cross ventilation,stack ventilation as technique to improve existing condition

EXTRACT MESH FROM SITE

creation of base mesh in a way that it reinforces network between villages

Voronoi

Urban Centre Points

Sub-division

Sub-division

2. create network that is denser at the center of cell

3. select network that is bridging secelted villages

1. define territory for villages in relation to location of surrounding villages

SELECTION OF CELLS

defining condition for each cells and subtract cells with extreme condition

from original mesh

base mesh

diagram 2 to 7 combined

investigate size of cells simplify diagram3

identify cells that are intersecting with existing infrastructure

identify cells that are obviously different in form

identify direction of movement between villages

selected mesh(diagram1 - diagram8)

cells that are out of movement range defined as shared public space

CATALOGUE OF AIR FLOW THROUGH CELLS

DEFORMATION OF MESH

one ruleset deforms each cells in different ways.overall pattern emerges as a result of the operation

at each steps.

Scale Cells

Open Cells

Recompose Cells

Divide Cells

Public Space

Create Path

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

base mesh recompose cells treat recomposed cells as block. divide the block into smaller component.

relationship between adjacent cells introduce public space to the block

travel direction introduces secondary path into each blocks

scale cells in order to allow each cells to act individualy

apply catalog study to mesh

inlet opening is always on sw side of cell to let precailing wind come in. outlet opening is et in relationship to direction of travel. higher rank from catalog is picked if there are more than two options.
