6.1.3 SITE STUDY
 The region marked experiences the maximum level of sun
CLIMATE-SUNPATH
radiation due to the angular sunlight orientation along the
southern side.
 Orient the shorter side of the building towards the direction of
sunlight.
 Use angular walls as shading devices to reduce direct sunlight
penetration.
 The sun's path indicates that the maximum shadow
throughout the year will be cast on the northern side.
Therefore, open spaces can be designed on the northern side
of the building.
CLIMATE-WIND

• The primary wind direction is from the northeast to the
southwest.
• Orient the building blocks to create openings or a path
along the direction of the wind.
• Place a block at the end of the path in the direction of the
wind flow to create a cycling motion of the wind.
• Maximize the number of openings on the east-west sides
to enhance cross ventilation.

Existing vegetation and soil:
SENSORY-AUDIBLE Thesis Report V-SPARC VIT

• The trees present at the edge of the site include
Tamarind, Neem, and Kongu trees, which are
small and stunted with large canopies.
• Trees along the road have a radius of 12-15
meters and are 5-6 meters high.
• Bushes along the edge have a radius of 3-5
meters and are 1-2 meters high.
• The soil of the site is clay and alluvial.

 Noise from the main street is absorbed by the
trees along the west side of the site.
 Noise from the residential streets can be
muffled by strategically positioning vegetation
that does not exceed the height above the cone
of vision.
