II - MICRO LEVEL ISSUES AT SITE LEVEL

Identification of the core function of the campus and how this has been incorporated in the architectural design, specifically at

Zoning: Different zones/character of each zone/land use pattern /transitional elements between zones supported by cross sections
through various zones.

FAR and Density: Building blocks, built versus open space percentages/building heights and their footprints (supported through
sections) approaches to the block, positive and negative open spaces analysis.

Road network: cross sections of the streets and nodes, street hierarchy and segregating pedestrian and vehicular movement
supported with photographs/Sketches.

Services: water supply, sanitation, electricity, telephone (cable system), gas lines, fire fighting systems and security systems adopted
