95 % OF THE VILLAGE IN DAHEJ-BHARUCH AREA HAVE PONDS,
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PONDS=
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VILLAGES
01. identification of irrigation canal
02. identification of waterway from irrigation canal to each ponds 04. identification of clusters and hierarchy within them
03. identification of control points
05. indexting of pond/village that the control points are responsible for

Built Environment
Site Area
left bottom image: highlighted area = selectted site to work with
<potential for future growth>-adjacent to bharuch -between two major highway
<condition>-lack of walk oriented network between villages-extremely hot climate ....cross ventilation,stack ventilation as technique to improve existing condition
EXTRACT MESH FROM SITE
creation of base mesh in a way that it reinforces network between villages
Voronoi
Urban Centre Points
Sub-division
Sub-division
2. create network that is denser at the center of cell
3. select network that is bridging secelted villages
1. define territory for villages in relation to location of surrounding villages

SELECTION OF CELLS
defining condition for each cells and subtract cells with extreme condition
from original mesh

diagram 2 to 7 combined
investigate size of cells simplify diagram3
identify cells that are intersecting with existing infrastructure
identify cells that are obviously different in form
identify direction of movement between villages
selected mesh(diagram1 - diagram8)
cells that are out of movement range defined as shared public space
CATALOGUE OF AIR FLOW THROUGH CELLS

DEFORMATION OF MESH
one ruleset deforms each cells in different ways.overall pattern emerges as a result of the operation
at each steps.
Scale Cells
Open Cells
Recompose Cells
Divide Cells
Public Space
Create Path
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
base mesh recompose cells treat recomposed cells as block. divide the block into smaller component.
relationship between adjacent cells introduce public space to the block
travel direction introduces secondary path into each blocks
scale cells in order to allow each cells to act individualy
apply catalog study to mesh
inlet opening is always on sw side of cell to let precailing wind come in. outlet opening is et in relationship to direction of travel. higher rank from catalog is picked if there are more than two options.
