Roman era where Therme serves multifunctional recreation activity and most

popular among this is Baiae$ There may be numerous form of resort like,

• Sports Resort

facilities like, spa, sports,sauna, health and cuisine facilities with several restaurant,

bars, and various other amenities$%ther resort is that which provides lodging

facilities with all necessary service re&uirements$There is a guideline stated by

Signature amenities are amenities, attractions, and geographically signi#cant

attributes that a resort re&uires to provide in order to be considered as a resort$

These include, for e*ample2golf, ski)mountain, beach)ocean, lakeside,

casino)gaming, all!inclusiveness,spa)health)wellness, marina, tennis, and 3ater

(ark$ 4or property!generated or fabricated amenities, they need to be considered

full!service to be a signature amenity$

Anchor Attribute2It is minimum number of amenities that a resort should provide

in addition to lodging and cuisine facility$ The minimum number of amenity is #ve,

below this number5 it is no more resort$ Among various facilities like "ealth,

6ymnasium, Sports, 7ibrary, useum, Swimming pool, ducational, 8ude ranch,

'asino, 8iscothe&ue etc, it should have minimum of #ve$

A mi*ture of various amenities, ma9estic hospitality, fantastic built structures and

creative landscapes will create illustrative resort$

Tourists are the people who travel for recreational, leisure or business purpose$

According to world tourism organi1ation, tourist are the people who travels to and

stay in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive

year for leisure, business and other purposes$ Nepal has short history of receiving

formal tourist and it has not been more than half a century$ There are three ma9or

purpose of tourism2

4or pleasure2 (leasure means to en9oy, rela*, and have satisfaction from the leisure

time that is ac&uired through spending the money$ (eople coming for

holiday,trekking, mountaineering, rafting, and adventure are form of pleasure

tourism$

4or business2 (eople coming for pure o:cial or business work falls in this category$

But we should note that, these tourists also re&uires proper accommodation,

cuisine, and facilities along with pleasing hospitality$ This may include the

diplomatic visits$

people, gives feelings of intimacy,and never urge them to move away from its

boundary$Thus, spaces has to be planned so that it comply with the demand of

visitors and standards to meet their demands$$This resort will perform multifunction,

as it will have restaurants, 'onference halls, 7odging suites, Individual 'ottages,

"eath 'lub, 'urio Shop, thnographic useum, Small 7ibrary, performance space

etc$ Besides this, it will have services like (arking, Receptions, (la1as,TouristInformation 'entre, and recreational spaces like Swimming (ool, ini 6olf

'ourse,7awn Tennis, Natural as well as arti#cial landscapes and Space for Artists,

3riters etc$If we see the present scenario, we cannot #nd all these activities in

single resort, thus, it is important to know the management of all these activities

and also we cannot take this sort of resort more far from urban fringe as target

group is urban dwellers too$The resort will attempt to integrate the socio!cultural

aspect of society with contemporary spatial demand of resort and create harmony

between them, together harmoni1ing it with site, and surrounding to #t it in

conte*t$%ne most important thing is that the resort will be focusing more on its

services which are provided through proper design of spaces and at the same time,

it will be concerning on the sustainability in architecture, of which the world is

thirsty$ The tremendous rise of energy demand has created uncertain

future seeking a new form of design concept based on passive solar

technologies and sustainability in built form. Building sector contributes

30%!0% of total global energy consumption" which is increasing in rapid

pace which need to be reduced and it is our duty to create e#cient

design" though we are designing a virtual pro$ect.Thus" there is a multiple

task to be performed aside design of resort" which are research on related

topics" case studies" literature review on space" planning etc. ence" it is

a challenging topic to work in spatial planning to incorporate the

formulated programs" &andscape planning"and along with sustainability indesign.

The main ob9ective of this proposal is to design Re!creative getaway Resort and

• (rovide a recreational environment for the resort through varieties of facilities

and function

• (rovide hospitality and promote tourism, ultimately (romote local economy

• The establishment of tourist resort will create the economic opportunities to

site neighborhood$ Also the local economy will boost due to establishment ofmultifunctional recreational getaway resort

• 'reate an interactive ground for locals and visitors so that there may be

interchange of ideas and cultural demonstration

• (rovide a space for o:cial meetings and seminars in natural surroundings

• ake analytical study of the functional re&uirements of resort and implement

e:cient design to carry out the functions smoothly$

• Respond to climatic and energy consumption issues raised by present day

architecture through eco!sensitive design$

In addition, there are various ob9ective related to achieving proper functioning built

forms, that can be achieved through literature reviews and research$ Thus, the

ob9ectives are to2

• Study about the materials and technology regarding the sustainability in

design

• Study about energy e:cient design

• Study about passive solar architecture

• Study about low cost sustainable building materials

• Study about spatial organi1ation and area of resort programs

The resort with recreational facilities has wide range of scope$ If we analy1e the

present trend of internal resort tourism and need of leisure place, then it is

acceptable to have multifunctional resort, which not only focus on overnight stay

but also concern in day services too$4or internal visitors, there is no trend of going

hotels in weekend, due to their location in core urban area$ They intend to go some

distance far from city so that they can en9oy the environment and freshness there$

"ence, resort tourism can provide best solution to internal tourism$

Resort can also be a place for convection and conference, and that depends on the

&uality of space they provide so that the convection, conference or seminar

becomes more interesting and fascinating$ The proposed resort will attempt to

provide seminar space$The resort will be a place to gain knowledge regarding thegreen design, as it will apply integrated energy system$The limitations of the pro9ect

are,It will not focus more on social survey, research as this is an academic pro9ect,

and this doesnot fall under the primary constraint$The pro9ect is concerned in built

form so5 there will be limited research and study on feasibility of pro9ect and

detailed site suitability will not be analy1ed$The pro9ect will not focus on structural

analysis of built structures of resorts, although structural consultation will be made

and it will not be su:cient$The pro9ect will not cover all the details related to green

design incorporated, though research will be made and re&uired level of detailing

will be done to meet the architectural re&uirement$8etailed environment

assessment will not be done due to limitation of knowledge in this #eld and it is not

our primary focus, as the pro9ect is virtual$ "owever, some impact will be analy1ed$

Though it is an academic re&uirement, it will be based on ground reality$The

following methodologies will be adopted in two phases to come up with the #nal

Research phase

• 7iterature Review

• 'ase study

This is preparatory phase for thesis pro9ect in which data, facts, spatial needs and

re&uirements are studied focusing on the approved topic$ 3e will study the present

functioning and organi1ation of spaces through case studies$ All the #ndings

gathered in this phase will be applied in our design phase$

8esign phase

• Site selection and analysis

• (rogram formulation and 1oning

• 'onceptual design

• 8esign development and

• (reparation of architectural drawings, ;8 views, model, report for #nal

agricultural land, which is in verge of transformation from its traditional form to

building plots$ Thus, resort development will help to maintain the landscape of the

site and create greenery$ The site being near to world heritage site and Araniko

"ighway, which is one of the ma9or tourist routes, carries great potential on tourism

development$
