Site Plan Analysis: Measurements and specifications

-

Fig 1: (My own)
Fig 2: my own

According to Fig 1 and 2, the site's dimensions are 200m by 140m which is quite enough for my project, I decided that the main facility is going to be a rectangle of 80m by 60m, the rectangle is going to be divided into two equal parts with a separation between the two which is the entrance, lobby, and pool. those parts will each be 30m large and 60m long and the center 20 meters large and 60m long.
Here is a bird's view to further explain this:

(My own)

The Facility is going to feature; a Gymnasium in half of the left part 30m x 30 m which makes it a surface of 900m², whilst the other half will host a Bouldering center (Wall climbing) with the same surface and dimensions, this is possible because the height of the building is 20 meters removing 5 meters for the ground floor which means that the possible height for this facility is about 15 meters.


The right part will have 3 Badminton courts, this is possible because they will be put longitudinally, which means the area will be: 6.10m x 4= 24,4m
However I need to add separation between each court to facilitate navigation for people, and I think 2 meters for each separation is enough which means that the whole are will be:
                                           24.4m + 4x 2m = 32.4m
Therefore:                   The total area = 32.4 x 13.4 (length of the court)
                                                           = 434.16 m²

Since: the whole right side has an area of 1800m², (30m x 60m= 1800m²)
Then: there will be a vacant surface of 1365.84m² where there will be wash rooms, changing rooms, and seating areas where people can watch the matches.
Justification: 1800-434.16 = 1365.84m²

(My own)

Then I made this site map which will be included in my final outcomes, it shows what my site will look like and the features.
As can be seen, I included 4 tennis courts outdoors next to the main facility, two on each side, with a separation between them as a pathway, that leads to a path roundabout that will include a fountain, which then goes on to a football pitch, and in a north direction, we can find 3 MUGA pitches (multi-purpose pitches). Lastly, next to the west elevation of the main building (the North elevation is the one looking at Alexander Dr Road) I created a parking lot that cars can access through two roads, Sanford LN and Alexander Dr.

    Why have you included Badminton courts? Is this a very popular sport in Connecticut?

Since my project is derived from industrialism, we need to first ask what is industrial architecture? According to Hohendal, Kristin (2022), The design and construction of structures to support the requirements of the industrial sector is recognized as industrial architecture. The safe movement, distribution, and production of goods and labor are taken into account by the industrial world's architecture, which employs a variety of building designs and styles. I also found that this type of architecture is often characterized by; large windows, large open floor plans, and high ceilings, built to safety standards (Hohendal, Kristin (2022)). Since I am choosing to do a library/study space, I thought it would be a good idea to put the industrialism theme in a material context, more clearly in the materials used. I will use steel, concrete and glass for the cylinder in the center of the building since it is the part that holds everything together. I will also use steel and concret

Site plan analysis

                   2D picture of the site I chose this plan because it is close to the river yet far enough in case of floods. It is a 20m/20m square, which makes it 400 m². However, the Riad as a building will only be 255m².  This area is a village called Imlil. Which was severely damaged by the last earthquake in September 2023. According to Khatla (2023). Nearly 6000 houses were destroyed whilst 20000 were partly demolished. Site from a Google Earth 3d perspective: 3d perspective of the region using Google Earth: Analysis of the natural aspect of the Imlil area: Imlil is situated at the head of the Rehraya River on the northern slopes of the Toubkal Massif of the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It is at 1700 metres above sea level in a widening of the valley where three tributaries join the Rehraya. It is in many ways untypical of Berber villages in that it is situated in a valley "basin" rather than on the steep valley sides and much of it lies below, rather than a

This structure is what I find to be the most gorgeous one in the United Kingdom, alongside the best in the world, it is a prime pillar of Gothic Architecture. A fire broke out at London's historic Palace of Westminster in 1834. resulting in burning it down to ashes. The fire provided Britain with an opportunity to replace what was seen to be an antiquated, outdated, disorganized collection of government buildings as well as to construct a Gothic Revival monument that would symbolically represent the UK's global leadership and the origins of modern democracy. (Fiederer, 2016) The Palace of Westminster Picture by Alex brown. With the help of A.W.N. Pugin, Sir Charles Barry created the current Gothic Revival structures. The cornerstone was placed in 1840, construction started in 1837, and it was completed in 1860. ( The Editors of Encyclopaedia 1998 ) This iconic structure has always fascinated me for its style, I think it is the closest Gothic revival structure to what through h
