TOWN PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE (ELECTIVE-II)

Unit I

Principles of architectural Design: Definition of architecture: factors influencing architectural

development- characteristic features of a style-historical examples, Creative principles: function/strength,

aesthetics – deciding the space and form – detailed analysis of factors influencing the space – activity

space, circulation space and tolerance space – Factors influencing form- form perception – form

expressive of function-form related with material and Structural system. Design principles – elements of

composition – point, line, plane, texture, colour etc. – mass and scale, proportion, rhythm, balance and

unity – iconic, canonic and analogic design -consideration of comfort factors such as acoustics, lighting,

ventilation and thermal aspects.

Unit II

building – building codes and rules – licensing of building works. Functional planning of building such as

residential, institutional, public, commercial, industrial buildings – the process of identifying activity

areas and linkages – drawing built diagrams – checking for circulation, ventilation, structural

requirements and other constraints preparing sketch plan and working drawings – site plans.

movement – cross ventilation – effect of orientation – radiation – evaporation, calculation of air

conditioning load – summer and winter air conditioning. Plumbing services: typical details of water

supply and sewage disposal arrangements for residence, hospitals and hostel buildings – standard

requirements.

Unit IV

ideal town – garden city movement – concept of new towns and conservative theory – comprehensive

planning of towns- Survey and analysis of town: fare maps – land use classification – transportation

network – housing demographic arid social surveys – economic studies – environmental aspects. Theories

of land use planning, transportation planning and housing development.

Urban area lineation: urban influence zone – urban region concept of regional planning. Planning Process:

Concept of master plan: structural plan, detailed town planning scheme and act. Estimating future needs:

planning standards for different land use allocation for commerce, industries, public amenities, open areas

etc. planning standard for density distributions-density zone, planning standards for traffic networks –

standards of roads and paths – provision for urban growth-growth models. Plan implementation: town

planning legislation and municipal acts – planning control development schemes – urban financing – land

acquisitions – slum clearance schemes – pollution control aspects
