DandakaDandaka type of town plan provides for two main entrance gates and is generally adopted for the formation of small towns and villages, the village offices being located in the east. The female deity of the village or the chamadevata will generally be located outside the village and the male deities in the northern portion

SarvathobhadraThis type of town plan is applicable to larger villages and towns, which have to be constructed on a square site. According to this plan, the whole town should be fully occupied by houses of various descriptions and inhabited by all classes of people. The temple dominates the villageArchitect M.Lokesh 1st sem design M.Arch - HIET


NandyavartaThis plan is commonly used for the construction of towns and not for villages. It is generally adopted for the sites either circular or square in shape, with not less than three thousand houses, but not more than four thousand. The streets run parallel to the central adjoining streets with the temple of the presiding deity in the centre of the town. “Nandyavarta” is the name of a flower, the form of which is followed in this layout


PadmakaThis type of plan was practiced for building of the towns with fortress all round. The pattern of the plan resembles the petals of lotus radiating outwards from the centre. The city used to be practically an island surrounded by water, having no scope for expansion.


SwastikaSwastika type of plan contemplates some diagonal streets dividing the site into certain triangular plots. The site need not be marked out into a square or rectangle and it may be of any shape. A rampart wall surrounds the town, with a moat at its foot filled with water. Two main streets cross each other at the center, running south to north and west to east


PrastaraThe characteristic feature of this plan is that the site may be either square or rectangular but not triangular or circular. The sites are set apart for the poor, the middle class, the rich and the very rich, the sizes of the sites increasing according to the capacity of each to purchase or build upon. The main roads are muchwider compared to those of other patterns. The town may or may not be surrounded by a fort.


KarmukaThis plan is suitable for the place where the site of the town is in the form of a bow or semi-circular or parabolic and mostly applied for towns located on the seashore or riverbanks. The main streets of the town run from north to south or east to west and the cross streets run at right-angles to them, dividing the whole area into blocks. The presiding deity, commonly a female deity, is installed in the temple build in any convenient place


ChaturmukhaChaturmukha type of plan is applicable to all towns starting from the largest town to the smallest village. The site may be either square or rectangular having four faces. The town is laid out east to west lengthwise, with four main streets. The temple of the presiding deity will be always at the canter


Chaturmukha (Grid iron pattern) Type of planning macro level

• Conceptual study of the site gives us the clear cut idea about urban context.• The planning ideologies of our ancient people is to create a Chathurmukha type of

planning.• Zoning

Temple tank

SITE CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO OUR TRADITIONAL PRICIPLES


centrally located temple tank will give ground water stability all around the areas

Location of temple gives us the easy aces ability from all foursides

It will provide good humid air ventilation all around the residences

All the bathing and washing can be done at a common place

All the residences will get cool breeze and good networking for circulation for services Etc

• City can be expandable according to its future expansion.

TOPOGRAPHY

The existing site is elevated at an average level , with a largely flat topography giving an average slope of 1 in 100. As such, the topography poses little constraint on future development.


TOPOGRAPHY VEGITATION & EXISTING FEATURES

The existing site retains a relatively flat topography, with a vista of sparse landscape and existing low-scale built form of little significance within the future development of the site. While visual access to the lake behind the site will make more interesting to design a beautiful master plan.


BUILT FORM SITE ACCESS

The primary access route to the region is by way of the Nh4, also known as Bangalore to Chennai Road. Internal access to the site is by way of a sub arterial road (18m width) that connects the highway to the site area. This restricted access arrangement permits the development of the site as a secure gated community.
