welcome to the second blog
lets jump to the topic straight ahead
this blog deals with how to split ur site into zones for easy
designing
easy steps to follow with pictures
(the main purpose was to help a junior student from my college to zone his
site)
project title - kindergarten
location - Hyderabad
climate - temperate zone
area - not specified, choose 40% of the area for the building
ground coverage
and the rest shall be allocated for playground, parking,
driveways and other services.
step 1- draft the given site onto your sheet
dont miss out on the dimensions and the location of north
mention the suitable scale the site was drafted in
make a list of all the requirements. i.e. all the elements that
constitute the building & site construction, function and form
step 2 - overlay a butter sheet or a gateway
sheet or anything transparent that allows you to look through the sheet. the
sheet underneath it shall be visible.
if it is not visible the overlay is too
thick.
step 3- start mapping the elements that belong to the site onto
the overlay sheet.
you may scribble as much as you want with
overlays. it helps attain the final result.
try as much as u can to keep the building
and zoning in scale. it helps you give an idea how ur building may look like
dont forget to
hydrate yourself!!!!! listen to music for a while as u work. it helps a lot to
clear the mind
make a to do
list. keep adding tasks in it, it helps complete the project thoroughly without
missing out on anything
step 4 -
concentrate on these images. the way the
zoning was carried out. a simple sketch. highlighting the regions within
a building
use different colored pens for easy
understanding
keep trying different
fonts it makes the sheet look presentable
i always use stabilo as they run smoothly
on butter sheet and gateways
you may have achieved a slight idea by now
as to how you can zone your site with ease.
there are several methods to do it
which i will mention in my further
blogs............
sheeba says bye
keep imagining!!
