MOHAMED SATHAK ENGINEERING COLLEGE - KILAKARAI

2013 Syllabus - Architectural Design – V AR6613 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

OBJECTIVES:
• To understand the design and form of building typologies that are the result of pressure on urban
lands with a thrust on issues like urban land economics, technology and ecology

• To create an awareness with regard to the design of green buildings and sustainable architecture.

• To inculcate the importance of services integration and construction in spatial planning in the
context of design of High-rise buildings and service intensive buildings.

• To highlight on the importance of High rise buildings as elements of identity in urban areas and
urban design principles that govern their design.

• To explore computer aided presentation techniques involving 2D and 3D drawings, walk through
and models as required.

CONTENT:
Scale and Complexity: Advanced and complex problems involving large scale Multi-storeyed
buildings and complexes for Residential/ Commercial/ Institutional/ Mixed-Use in an urban context
with focus on visual characteristics, service integration and sustainable practices.

Areas of focus/ issues:

• Sustainable building practices, green issues, alternative energy

• Intelligent building techniques and service integration

• Architectural Detailing

• Advanced building practices

Typology / project: office building, multi-use centre, convention center, multiplex, corporate
complex, health care and hospitality building

OUTCOMES:

An ability to understand issues in buildings with respect to density, services and energy
consumption as well as make the right choices in design situations involving these issues.

 Understand Green Building concepts and basic principles of sustainable built environment

 Incorporate services Integration

GENERAL HOSPITAL DESIGN – 100 BED

 HOSPITAL DESIGN
Each hospital is comprised of a wide range of services and functional units. These include diagnostic
and treatment functions, such as clinical laboratories, imaging, emergency rooms, and surgery;
hospitality functions, such as food service and housekeeping; and the fundamental inpatient care or
bed-related function. This diversity is reflected in the breadth and specificity of regulations, codes,
and oversight that govern hospital construction and operations.

Objectives of the hospital design:

 The study of the hospital design will help in formulating a functional brief or an architects
brief that will
have an analysis of functional needs, interrelationship of departments, area requirements,
major equipment, the grouping of accommodation and the main outline of traffic flow. This
study would help the architect in understanding the complex needs of hospital functioning
and enable him to build a hospital that is functional, efficient and yet economical without
compromising on the design aspect.

What are the various things that must be addressed to during hospital design programming and

design process?

1.Provide a functional design that ensures efficient, safe and appropriate workspaces.

2.Accommodate technical requirements for highly sophisticated equipment.

3.Create clear, segregated paths for movement of people and material within the building.

4.Create a humane environment for patients and staff.

5.Develop building systems that can accommodate rapid change.

6.Blend technical and functional requirements into a design that brings delight to those who use
the building and those who pass by it

 Initial planning  :Initial planning encompasses the general physical facilities that are being
considered, the space requirements, cost constraints, time schedules, standards that must
be included.
 Operational plan : In the next step details of the operational plan for each department
should be
considered- location of each department, requirement of floor space,intradepartmental and 
interdepartmental relationships, circulation, traffic flowand requirements in relation
to equipment, personnel and patients. 
Before any plans can be drawn by the architect an understanding of therequirements of the
hospital in terms of services it is going to provide, number
of beds, departmental functions, departmental needs, major equipment, spacerequirement

 HOSPITAL DESIGN
s, required personnel, relationships and adjacencies must be agreedupon. All this must form
a written document. This is called operational planning-a written programme needed for
any architectural project. Operational planning establishes a dept-by dept description
of needed space by outlining for example, the no. and type of surgeries, X ray rooms,
outpatientservices, laboratory services etc. the exercise thus determines current andproject
ed needs within the facility. 
 Functional plan : The operational plan is then developed into a functional plan. Planning
of the hospital on a functional basis-that lists every room and suggests net sizes for major
functional rooms and the total sizeof the department .

Functional areas in a Hospital

Each of the wide-ranging and constantly evolving functions of a hospital, including highly
complicated mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications systems, requires specialized
knowledge and expertise. Ideally, the design process incorporates direct input from the owner and
from key hospital staff early on in the process.

Functional planning is an analytical process in hospital planning and development which includes
definition of fictional requirements, area requirements and work flow to meet the needs and
priorities of the medical programme.

The hospital is to have a balanced combination of the following functional areas and services:

 Entrance area- waiting ,

 Ambulatory care area- Out-Patient- OPD,
 Diagnostic services,
 Intermediate care area- In-patient, WARDS,
 Intensive care area- ICU,
 Critical care area- ICCU,
 Therapeutic services,
 Hospital services,
 Engineering services, and
 Administrative/Ancillary services.

OSR =10% Open Space Reservation

Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act mandated that a substantial portion of a
large layout be set apart as Open Space Reservation (OSR).  As per law, if the size of
the plot is 3,000 sq m or more, 10% of the land should be reserved for open space. If
the plot size is between 3,000 sq m and 10,000 sq m, developers/plot owners have
the option of either demarcating 10% of the land for OSR or (in case of physical
constraints in setting apart land) paying the guideline value of the OSR land to the
Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA).
