Diagramming And Analysis- Unitech Cyber Park, Gurgaon

SITE - UNITECH CYBER PARK, GURGAON

PURPOSE - OFFICE BUILDING

SITE MAP- UNITECH CYBER PARK

AIM - TO STUDY THE GIVEN PUBLIC SPACE AND ANALYSE WHETHER THE SPACE IS BEING USED TO IT'S MAXIMUM POTENTIAL.

PROBLEM - THE OPEN SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO OFFICE BUILDINGS REMAINS INACTIVE MOST OF THE TIMES DURING THE DAY, CREATING A VOID IN THE CENTRE. WHEREAS, THE REMAINING AREA SURROUNDING THESE TWO BUILDINGS REMAIN COMPARATIVELY HIGHLY ACTIVE.

REASONS

1. ACCESSIBILITY

THERE IS NO DEFINITE PATH DIRECTING THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE TOWARDS THIS OPEN CENTRAL SPACE, HENCE PEOPLE DIRECTLY ENTER THE OFFICE BUILDING.

                      

ACCESSIBILITY

      

       2.  MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE

PEOPLE FOLLOW A CIRCULAR MOVEMENT PATTERN AND REMAIN CONFINED TO THE OFFICE BUILDING EDGES BY CREATING A VOID IN THE CENTRE DUE TO -

• LEVEL DIFFERENCE

1. THE RANDOM PLACEMENT OF STEPS AROUND THE STRUCTURE (DOTTED), PEOPLE AVOID THE SWITCHING OF LEVELS AND MOVE AROUND THAT STRUCTURE TO GO FROM BUILDING TO THE OTHER.
2. SCATTERED BENCHES SPREAD ALL OVER, DIFFICULTY IN WALKING THROUGH.
3. LACK OF CLEAR VISIBILITY DUE TO-

•  THE HUGE STRUCTURE (DOTTED) IN THE CENTRE OF THE OPEN SPACE.
• LONG PLANTERS SCATTERED AROUND THE SPACE.

WHEREAS THE REMAINING AREAS ARE FLAT, WITH NO LEVEL DIFFERENCE AS SUCH.

LEVELS AFFECTING THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE

• LACK OF SHADE AND SEATING ARRANGEMENT

1. THOUGH BENCHES ARE PROVIDED IN THE CENTRAL SPACE AROUND THE STRUCTURE, THERE IS NO PROPER SHADING.


2. THOUGH THE STRUCTURE IS FULLY COVERED, WITH PROPER SHADING, IT IS HARDLY ACTIVATED DUE TO LACK OF PROPER SEATING.

HENCE, PEOPLE REMAIN CONFINED TO THE CORRIDORS LEAVING THE OPEN CENTRAL SPACE INACTIVE.

TIME - 6 TO 7 PM

CONCLUSION  - THOUGH PEOPLE CAME OUT IN THE OPEN DURING THE EVENING, STILL THERE WERE HARDLY ANY PEOPLE USING THE STRUCTURE.

AT THE TIME OF THE FLASH MOB

TIME- 1:30 TO 2:30 PM

MOVEMENT PATTERN AND DEMOGRAPHIC RESPONSE OF THE PUBLIC

INITIAL MOVEMENT PATTERN OF PEOPLE REMAINED THE SAME AS ANY OTHER WORKING DAY DUE TO-

• THE STRUCTURE PLACED AT THE CENTRE IN THE OPEN SPACE BLOCKED THE VIEW OF THE PEOPLE FROM ALL THE SIDES.
• THE FLASH MOB MEMBERS BECAME NOTICEABLE ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES, WHEN PEOPLE DEVIATED FROM THE GENERAL MOVEMENT PATTERN.
