Sun path diagram Vegetation

Gurgaon’s natural ecology: For gurgaon, its insularity, and being far away from the sea and nudging the western district region and its latitude (28 degree N) make it scorchingly hot in summers. In winters, even if it never goes down to freezing, Delhi grows cold enough to cause some kinds of plants to wilt and die. Fog and mist in winter too cause sufficient loss of sunlight to make a difference to plan. • Gurgaon’s natural vegetation is sometimes called a thorn forest, which forms a transition zone where dry deciduous forests shades into desert scrub‐ a semi‐arid environment. • The dominant and the most common trees of thorn forest are, acacias and their relatives, a group of leguminous (pod bearing) plants called “mimosas” like babool, jhand, phulai, khoj and khair. • (the kareel and ber are typical to but are not “mimosas”) • From a wider perspective , thorn forests along with dry decidu ou s forests and a few others are constituents of a type of forest called “monsoon forest”.

SEPTEMBER DECEMBER

NOVEMBER Conclusions and suggestions Orientation: • For maximum daylight, the building can be preferably north facing. • This can be increased by increasing the surface area in the north direction, for example‐ by placing the building diagonally.

plan plan

isometric Effect of glazing: • Since the building on the east of the site is a glass‐walled building, glare can be avoided by giving the minimum offset from it.

plan section Vegetation: The height and kind of vegetation depicts the amount of shading and ventilation required for the internal building, like for example: • A tall tree would provide more air movement in the lower floors and vice versa. • A deciduous tree in the south would help to cut‐off the excessive heat in summers and and required sunlight in winters.
