OL-17012523149 dated 29.01.2025. Based on the revised submission made, and a detailed discussion was held with the architect on CISCO Webex meetings who provided clarifications to the queries of the Commission. Based on the submission made and the discussion held online, the following observations are to be complied with:
a) The Commission observed that while considering the case for additions/alterations, it did not consider or cover the existing construction at the site. This concerns the proposal for additions/alterations only.
b) The submitted drawings and 3D views are unclear and of low quality, making the submission incomprehensive. Clear and high-quality drawings and 3D views must be provided for better visibility. Additionally, 3D views of the internal courtyard are missing. Detailed and labelled 3D views from all angles, including the internal courtyard and terrace, should be submitted. These views should also include details of materiality to ensure a complete and self-explanatory submission.
c) The drawings depict an open-to-sky courtyard, but the necessary details are missing from the submission. The layout plans should include appropriate details, such as floor pattern, materiality, landscaping information, specifying plant species, their quantities, locations, and their integration with the built structure.
d) Since the boys' and girls' hostel buildings are newly constructed, the architect is advised to enhance the elevation by incorporating architectural elements that make the façade more visually appealing while maintaining the existing character of the complex. Features such as chajjas, well-defined entrance porches, and other design elements should be included to improve the overall appearance of the proposed buildings.
e) It was observed from the submitted elevation that the ventilators at the basement level do not match the windows at the upper levels, thus making the façade look cluttered and incoherent. To ensure harmony in design, the openings, i.e., windows and ventilators are suggested to be aligned.
f) The vertical white plaster line in the elevation appears to end abruptly, thus giving an incomplete appearance to the façade. It is suggested that the plaster be terminated in such a manner so that it blends with other architectural elements on the façade. To explain the details of the treatments on the façade, detailed skin sections of all buildings are to be provided, along with details of materiality.
g) To improve the architectural character of the proposed girls' hostel building, it is suggested to add a projection at the entrance to protect it from harsh weather conditions. Also, the terrace of the projection should be converted to a balcony that can be accessed from the first floor while ensuring mechanisms for maintenance and rainwater drainage.
h) As the building serves as hostel accommodation, common areas on each floor are suggested to include provisions for a pantry, washing, and drying clothes for user convenience. If drying clothes is proposed on the balcony, appropriate screening mechanisms should be incorporated and clearly depicted in the respective drawings to provide a comprehensive understanding of the design scheme.
i) The Commission understands that the proposal has been designed without considering the hostel building's air-conditioning requirements. However, future additions may necessitate air-conditioning installations, which could negatively impact the building’s façade. To prevent this, provisions should be incorporated at this stage to accommodate outdoor units without compromising aesthetics. A detailed scheme illustrating their placement, screening, and materials should be submitted through plans, elevations, and 3D views.
j) The pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the site is not shown. To better understand the movement pattern within the site, a combined mobility plan showing seamless, conflict-free pedestrian and vehicular movement plans from outside the various buildings is to be submitted. It shall be indicated clearly with a clear segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement.
k) If the entry to the basement ramps needs to be covered in the future, it is recommended that the design and relevant details be provided at this stage to ensure their proper integration into the overall design scheme. The submission does not include the details of the ramp entry or the mechanisms for covering the ramp. These details should be included in the revised submission.
l) During the online discussion with the Commission, the architect clarified that retrofitting for the structural strength of the columns has already begun in certain areas where additional floors are being added to the existing structure. However, the details of this work were not included in the submission. Updated structural stability and retrofitting information should be provided, including site photographs and relevant details in the project report. Additionally, as a new structure is being added to an existing building, the proposed structure must be designed to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, strong winds, and other adverse conditions to ensure the safety of its occupants.
m) The details of the Swachh Bharat toilet are not clear and self-explanatory. To ensure a complete submission at the formal stage, high-resolution 3D views along with drawings, including plans, elevations, and sections, must be submitted.
n) Further, the provision of additional parking for the increase in FAR is unclear. The same is to be marked clearly in the respective layout plans, showing the bifurcation of the existing parking with the proposed parking, their location, and the number. All parking provisions shall adhere to all the applicable norms/guidelines/regulations.
o) The proposed wall mural on the artwork is to be removed, and instead of the work of art in the form of outdoor sculptures, paintings in the entrance lobby/foyer are to be proposed and visible at the eye level. 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, ensure to be installed in terms of the point nos. 14 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.
p) The solar panels shall be integrated into the design at an appropriate clear height, ensuring that the space beneath can be effectively utilised for shading purposes.
