 MOVEMENT  PATTERN


VEHICULAR MOVEMENT PATTERN

                                            The blue arrows show the movement of people

OBSERVATION

• THE VEHICULAR MOVEMENT ABRUPTLY  CUTS THROUGH THE SPACE.

THE ENTRY AND EXIT OF VEHICULAR MOVEMENT COLLIDES AT SOME POINT  

PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT

                                              purple dashes show the pedestrian movement pattern.

OBSERVATION

• THEIR IS NO DEFINED PEDESTRIAN PATH AND PEOPLE ENTER RANDOMLY FROM VARIOUS POINTS
• PEOPLE DO NOT TO WALK ACROSS THE GREEN PATCH AND USE THE DRIVE WAY INSTEAD.
• THE SPACE ON THE LEFT SIDE IS NOT BEING USED BECAUSE OF THE PARKING ENTRY .
• UNDERSIDE OF THE METRO IS ABANDONED AND HAS BECOME STINKY.

ANALYSIS OF MOVEMENT PATTERN

IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED THAT THEIR IS A LOT OF CONFUSION CREATED BY THE MERGING OF VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT.

                          MATERIALITY

OBSERVATION

• IT SHOWS THE VARIOUS MATERIALS AND TEXTURES IN THAT AREA.
•  THE MUDDY ARES IN COMPLETELY NEGELECTED BY THAT PEOPLE.
•   THE PERFECTLY MANICUED GREEN PATCHS DON’T SEEM TO ATTRACT PEOPLE.PEOPLE DO NOT TO WALK ACROSS THE GREEN PATCH AND USE THE DRIVE WAY INSTEAD.

ANALYSIS

IT GAS BEEN SEEN THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN TEXTURE AND MATERIALITY PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN IN EXISTING MOVEMENT AND USAGE PATTERN.

HEAT DIAGRAM OF NORMAL TIME

[5:30 TO 6:30 IN THE EVENING ON A WEEKEND]

OBSERVATION

•       THE AREAS NEAR THE METRO STATION AND MALL ENTRY WHERE FOUND TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE.
•   THE GREEN PATCHES AND LEFT SIDE STEPS WERE HARDLY BEING USED.

ANALYSIS
THIS SPACE HAS BECOME JUST OF A PASSAGE AND NOT BEING USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.I ALSO THINK THAT THEIR IS LACK OF POINT INTEREST TO HOLD PEOPLE IN IT.AND LACK OF ANY SHADE ALSO MAKES THE SPACE INHABITABLE DURING THE AFTERNOONS.

     

HEAT DIAGRAM DURING FLASH MOB

 [AT 5:30 TO 6:30 EVENING ON WEEKEND]

OBSERVATION

• DURING THE ACTIVITY IS WAS OBSERVED THAT THE LARGE GREEN AREA AND THE RIGHT  WAS OCCUPIED BY PEOPLE.
• AS ACTIVITY STARTED RIGHT STEPS ATTRACTED PEOPLE AS IT WAS A TIGHT SPACE CLOSE TO THE BUILDING AND HAD MORE PRIVACY.
• LATER ON THE TOWARDS THE END OF ACTIVITY THE GREEN SPACE ALSO ATTARTED PEOPLE.

ANALYSIS

BY CREATING A POINT OF INTEREST OR BY INSERTING AN ACTIVITY IT HAS BEEN SEEN PEOPLE ARE DRAWN TOWARDS TO THE SPACE THAT ARE NOT GENERALLY USED.
