Building plans proposal in respect of Senior Secondary School at MB road at Sector-IV, Pushp Vihar. (Conceptual Stage)

1. The proposal was forwarded directly by the Architect (online) for consideration by the Commission.
2. The Commission did not approve the building plans proposal at its meeting held on September 12, 2024, specific observations were given.
3. The building plans proposal received (online) at the conceptual stage was scrutinised along with the replies submitted by the architect in response to the previous observations of the Commission communicated vide DUAC letter no: OL-09092455119, F.No. 55(119)/2024-DUAC dated 19.9.2024 and a discussion was held with the architect (online) on Cisco WebEx meetings, during which clarifications were provided to the Commission's queries. Based on the replies submitted, discussion held (online), and the submission made, the following observations are to be complied with:

a )The Commission observed that the proposal is currently at the conceptual stage and has been resubmitted without satisfactorily addressing the previous observations outlined in the DUAC letter no OL-09092455119, F.No. 55(119)/2024-DUAC dated 19.9.2024.

b) Additionally, inconsistencies and incompleteness have been observed in the submission received at the conceptual stage. The basement plan drawing shows a ramp covered with a temporary sheet above, yet this ramp covering is missing in the submitted 3D views, reflecting a lack of consistency in the submission. All 3D views from each side should be revised to incorporate architectural elements, including services and their screening, as these features will directly impact the urban aesthetics of the building complex.

c) The following observations as mentioned in meeting dated September 19, 2024 have not been complied with i.e.

“…. quality of the 3D views is inadequate. The scale, proportion, and materials are unclear. The views should be revised and resubmitted with improved clarity, better visuals, and enhanced viewing angles from all sides to clearly display the materials used on the façade and to illustrate the design scheme in detail. Additionally, the 3D views should be superimposed on the existing site and surrounding context, including road networks and nearby structures, to provide a clearer understanding of the proposal within its actual environment and to highlight any existing or retained features”.

The submitted 3d views are very sketchy and do not define the materiality of the façade along with the surrounding context, thus are incomplete in nature. Revised 3d views incorporating above-mentioned details shall be submitted for clarity and completeness.

d) Turning radius of the ramp seems to be insufficient for two-way movement of vehicles. Considering that the there is ample space between the proposed ramp and the building line, the inner turning radius shall be increased sufficiently to ensure seamless movement of the vehicles to the basement and the same to be revised in respective drawings.

e) The details of the pergola seem to be inconsistent i.e. the submitted 3d view shows flat profile of the pipe members, whereas the Section GG and detail at P shows a trussed profile.  It shall be ensured that co-related and detailed construction drawings including plans, sections and 3d views be submitted for coherence and clarity in the submission.

f) Work of public art of suitable scale, size and material, imparting character and identity to the complex, at an appropriate level which is also visible from outside, shall ensure to be installed in terms of point nos. 14 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

g) The Sustainability features shall be as per point no. 7 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

h) All plumbing pipes, service equipment, water tanks, air-conditioning units, solar panels etc. should be camouflaged appropriately (in terms of point nos. 10, 11 & 12 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

4. Overall, due to the inconsistencies and incomprehensiveness of the submission received at the conceptual stage and non-compliance of earlier observations, the proposal could not be reviewed judiciously. The architect is advised to adhere to all the above observations, including those communicated through DUAC observation letters OL-09092455119, F. No. 55(119)/2024-DUAC dated 19.9.2024, and furnish pointwise incorporation & reply.
