SHEET NO.-7

WIND ROSE DIAGRAM OF DELHI

SUN PATH AND WIND DIRECTION ON THE SITE

STRENGTH
THE SITE IS EASLY ACCESSIBLE AS IT IS
CONNECTED BY ROAD AND BY METRO .
THE ENTIRE COMPLEX IS RAISED ON A
PLINTH,THUS RESTRICTING THE
VEHICULAR MOVEMENT INSIDE THE SITE.
THE LANSCAPING AND THE SHADING
DEVICES HELPS TO KEEP THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE OPEN SPACES IN
THE COMPLEX COOL.
THE WINDOWS ON THE EXTERIOR IS
VERTICALLY PLACED(ALONG THE HEIGHT
OF THE BUILDING).THIS HELPS IN
REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF HEAT
ENTERING THE BUILDING.WHEREAS THE
FACADE FACING THE COURTYARDS HAVE
HORIZONTAL WINDOWS WHICH
INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF DIFFUSED
LIGHT ENTERING THE BUILDING.

WEAKNESS
THE SPACES LIKE THE EXHIBITION AREA,
CONFERENCE AREA, AUDITORIUM, LIBRARY,
ETC. ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE MEMBERS.
THE SERVICES ARE MOSTLY ON THE LOWER
BASEMENT OF THE BUILDING WHICH IS NOT
PREFERED AS SERVICES SHOULD BE PLACE
AWAY FROM PEOPLE ACCESS PLACES, LIKE
THE ENTRANCE, PARKING LOTS, ROADS ON
WHICH VEHICLES PLY AND MAINTENANCE
AREAS. CRITICAL SERVICES SHOULD BE
DISTRIBUTED ON TH SITE RATHER THAN
PUTTING THEM AT ONE PLACE IN THE
BASEMENT WHERE THERE IS LESS
SURVELLANCE.

SWOT ANALYSIS

OPPORTUNITY
BUILDING S LIKE INDIA
HABITAT CENTRE PROVIDE A
SPACE FOR INTERACTION AND
PROVIDES A PLATFORM TO
CONNECT PEOPLE OF
VARIOUS RELIGIOUS GROUP,
ECONOMIC CLASSES, SOCIAL
AND ETHNIC GROUPS WHICH
HELPS IN GENERATING
COHESIVENESS IN THE MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
THERFORE, MORE PLATFORMS
LIKE THESE ARE REQUIRED
FOR SUCH INTERACTIONS.

THREAT
AS THE PAKING IN THE
BASEMENTS OF THE BUILDING
IS FREE, ANYONE CAN PARK
THEIR VEHICLES FOR ANY
AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE
COMPLEX.
THE PLANTS INSIDE THE
COURTYARD DOES NOT ALLOW
CLEAR SIGHTLINES.THIS
GENERATES PLACE FOR PEOPLE
TO HIDE EXPLOSIVES OR
COMMIT CRIMES.CLEAR
SIGHTLINES MUST BE GIVEN
BETWEEN 0.5m AND 2m ABOVE
NATURAL TERRAIN.
