Project Formulation“ Housing is a Commodity”

Factors influence the Housing Project• Land - Value, Condition and Ownership• Need and Context• Target Group and Composition of Typologies• Prevailing Building Bye Laws• Sources of Infrastructure• Organizational Hierarchy ( In case of Industrial Housing)

• Finance and market• Cost of Construction• Delivery and Maintenance

Natural Factors – Water, Physiography, Orientation, Vegetation , View , Climate etc.,

Manmade Factors – Location, Cultural Attraction, Utilities and Services, Buildings , Roads Etc.,

Onsite ConditionsIdentification of the following:

• Site Potentials• Site Problems• Site issues• Site Amenity• Site Danger Signal

Off Site Condition

Direct Affect

Availability and Proximity to various utilities

Indirect Affect:

Availability of Primary School

Un desirable views

Parking, Shops , bus stop, library and Park

Geographic location and site orientation

Housing Concept Development Development Program Based on

• Human Need• Defining Cluster Space• Impact Assessment• Evaluation

Relates to four factors

Amenity….Identity…..Land use…. Activity

• Open Spaces• Circulation and Parking• Services • Recreational facilities and Amenities• Landscaping• Materials & Technology and Cost• Community Participation

Collective or mass housing is defined primarily by quantity and it acquires its spatial quality through grouping. This type of dwelling houses large numbers of people with varying degrees of housing quality. Within it the housing units are closely grouped, according to rules of horizontal or vertical assemblage, generating spaces with public, semi-public or private character in which certain social practices of housing unfold.

Key Issues :

• Benefits

• Risks

• Savings

• Costs

• Barriers

• Benchmarks

Balance Provide a variety of open spaces to serve a range of different active and passive recreational roles to meet the diversity of community needs.

Access

Provide for safe and convenient access to open spaces within and between communities, and where possible co-locate open spaces with shops, schools and other community facilities to reduce parking and minimise walking distances.

Preservation Use open space to protect and enhance the environmental, cultural and heritage values of an area

Place Making

Locate open spaces to build on the special attributes of an area for long-term public amenity and sense of place; for example an open-space network may include hill tops, river frontage, mature trees, places with panoramic views, rocky outcrops and remnant vegetation.

Integration Connect open space as part of a municipal network and link into the regional open space system where possible.

Safety Design and maintain open spaces to ensure that public safety is commensurate to the level of use and targeted user groups.

SustainabilityDesign, development and management of open space should respond to environmental values and conditions, community aspirations and economic considerations and must remain viable in the long term.

Equity Provide equitable access to parks and open spaces to ensure that the type, location and quality of the infrastructure are evenly spread.

Waterwise Provide areas within the open-space network sufficient to detain and cleanse stormwater runoff and avoid impacting sensitive areas.
