a) The Commission observed that the proposal for a sports university is on a plot measuring 79.4 Acres of land area with various proposed buildings of diverse shapes, forms and usages.

b) The Commission observed that the proposal has been received at the formal stage but only one or two 3d views of each building block appear to have been submitted. The Commission opines that the proposal of such scale and magnitude should have been provided with annotated 3D views from all sides (including the terrace) of each proposed building block with better-viewing angles, clearly showing the proposed design scheme with proper annotations & materials used for a better understanding of the design proposal judiciously.

c) Also, a variety of materials have been used on the external façade, and annotated 3D views with material applications shall be submitted for its judicious consideration by the Commission.

e) Open courtyard areas of the University building have been covered, from the top, with a huge tensile-like structure. Considering the scale of the structure and its likely impact on the overall visual & urban aesthetics, it shall ensure to be detailed with appropriate details including materials, fixing details etc. for better understanding.

f) The Commission observed that a lot of requisite parking arrangements have been given on the surface which not only spoils the visual & urban aesthetics of the area but also creates a lot of hard paved surfaces creating a heat island effect. Considering the option of a basement has been explored only under the university building the same can also be suggested to be explored under various other buildings and the freed-up spaces be put to judicious use including open landscaped permeable greens etc.

g) All landscaped areas including the courtyard etc. are detailed suitably at an appropriate scale with softscape & hardscape areas.

h) The pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the site is not understood properly. A combined mobility plan showing seamless, conflict-free pedestrian and vehicular movement plans from outside to the various buildings is to be submitted, to understand the movement pattern within the site better. It shall be indicated clearly with clear segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement.

Also, it shall be ensured that there is no leakage from the AC unit causing deterioration of spaces (indoor and outdoor).

k) The plumbing mechanism is to be appropriately elucidated. Exposed plumbing pipes, rainwater pipes etc. spoil and mar the aesthetics of the site and surroundings, a design to screen them with appropriate materials be submitted. Also, the area accommodating the DG set should be appropriately detailed along with DG exhaust pipes with a screening mechanism so as not to spoil & mar the aesthetics and presented with a suitable medium for the consideration of the Commission for the review of the Commission.

l) The design of the gates and adjoining structures have the greatest external public interface and will have a tremendous bearing on the overall public perception of the aesthetics of the complex, the same needs to be detailed for gate/grill detail/material applications coordinated with plans/elevations/sections/3D views (including night-time views) etc.

m) In residential building blocks, it is suggested to create provisions for toilets and sitting areas for maids/guards/drivers.

n) Also, for residential building blocks, the balconies need to be screened appropriately along with the provision of screening of drying clothes. Innovative architectural features and materials shall screen dish antennas in the balconies.

p) The Commission opines that considering the scale of the project, the Installation of solar panels on the rooftop is maximised, and the complex should aim to maximise energy efficiency and set an example for such future proposals. The sustainability aspects should have been articulated better & presented through better techniques including overall water & electricity requirements and their consumption applying sustainability necessities including rainwater harvesting, common effluent plant (for water) & solar panels (for electricity) etc. A detailed matrix in this regard shall be submitted for a better understanding & its judicious consideration by the Commission.
