 PREFACE

The release of the body from the tension and strain of work may be understood as a

natural physical response to fatigue. Yet relaxation as a regulated right of human labour in the Western

world emerged only in the nineteenth century, and ever since has been repeatedly checked by anxieties

about mass leisure and by the dynamics of economic growth.

Scientists began to understand the working body as a ‘motor’ with a measurable capacity

for work and the need for regularly spaced rest. Work scientists like Angelo Mosso believed that output

could be optimized if exhaustion was avoided. Overwork reduced longevity, decreased fertility, stunted the

growth of youth, produced insomnia and nervousness , and encouraged alcoholism and torpor.

Efficiency in the human motor required daily and weekly rest breaks and even regularly spaced rests within

the workday.

Since the 1970s, complex economic and social trends have reversed the historical trend

toward increased leisure time. Increased speed of communications and transport along with the rise of

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7

global competition has created the 24-hour economy and, with it, work at all hours. Economic maximizing

and consumerism have induced workers not only to opt for overtime but to choose timesaving devices to aid

in their leisure. This has meant a saturation of free time with leisure goods and their maintenance.

 INTRODUCTION

Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for

therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or sleep,

recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. A time in which individuals

are not compelled to do anything, and are free to choose to relax or to take part in a leisure activity. Leisure

has important social functions, including relief from the demands and restrictions of work.

Most people enjoy socializing with friends for dinner or a drink after a

hard day at work. For many young people, having a regular night out a week is a normal part of their free

time, whether it is joining friends for a drink in a pub, dining out in a restaurant, watching a film, playing

video games or dancing at a club.

Types of leisure

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
• Active leisure activities involve the exertion of physical

or mental energy. Low-impact physical activities include walking and yoga, which expend

little energy and have little contact or competition. High-impact activities such as kick-

boxing and football consume much energy and are competitive. Some active leisure

activities involve almost no physical activity, but do require a substantial mental effort,

such as playing chess or painting a picture. Active leisure and recreation overlap

significantly.

• Passive leisure activities are those in which a person

does not exert any significant physical or mental energy, such as going to the cinema,

watching television, or gambling on slot machines. Some leisure experts discourage

these types of leisure activity, on the grounds that they do not provide the benefits

offered by active leisure activities. For example, acting in a community drama (an active

leisure activity) could build a person's skills or self-confidence. Nevertheless, passive

leisure activities are a good way of relaxing for many people.

 AIMS & OBJECTIVES

 To understand the behavior pattern of users.

 To find out the aspiration and desires of users.

 To chalk out requirements considering the behavioral aspects along with functional

aspects.

 To identify the appropriate environment for individual activities.

 To design a recreational club having all necessary requirements and to create an

appropriate user movement.

 SCOPE

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
The project is to be developed as a fun club comprising

recreational along with the leisure facilities. The art and craft emporium with exhibition

and workshops will be the one of the major attractions of the club. The catchment area of

complex will include all coherence and harmony in overall development exists.

 LIMITATIONS

 Inferences are taken considering the behaviour pattern of the majority of people.

 Interior of only selected spaces will be dealt with.

 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Every city has the power to generate a surplus of amenities. But we find

that in bigger cities amenities are is inversely proportional to the true happiness of people. The

lifestyle is forcely surrounded by in the form of congested trafficway,more congested

apartments,population,noise etc.

Under these circumstances ,to get rid off from tension there should

be some provision of recreation where people of all the age groups come and enjoy the life in different

ways and feel relaxed for sometime. Therefore there should be a provision of activities for all different

age group people like swimming,tennis,gymnasium and sauna-bath for

youngsters,billiards,cards,chess gathering space,auditorium fpr all age group,aquarium,sand

mountain,slipping slides,see-saw etc. for children.

Recreation club is a club, developed with a commitment to fun and


fitness for the entire family and offers an immense range of activities. It can also be further explained
as:

 A centre as a social expression, community need, concentrates activities, meaningful spaces, a


neighborhood focus and urban excitement.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
 The club provides a platform for interaction, relaxation and amusement.

 It offers a junction for tourism, sports and cultural development.

 METHODOLOGY

1. First – Data from literature regarding behavioural aspect


of the buildings was collected. This data was synthesized
to select the aspects which could govern inter-relationship
of various activities in a club building.

2. Case studies were analysed in the light of behavioural


‘aspects’, by means of observation and users survey.

3. Inferences were drawn from the case-studies about


behavioural pattern of users and their expactations from
the space were analysed. Such inferences were used to
chalk-out ‘requirements’ which incorporated behavioural
aspects along with functional aspects.

4. Vsrious techniques were explored from literature for


producing the desired psychology effect in a space.

5. Climatological data were gathered and analysed

 THEME-

USER MOVEMENT

 Act or process of moving from one place to another

 It can be directional, irregular or multidirectional.

 Need and availability at different levels is the main cause of movement.

 The various spaces interlinked within the building are approached through this movement

 Movement is related to energy, so to conserve energy there must be deliberate effort to arrange the

various interlinking spaces, to achieve minimum movement.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7

User-centered design is a project approach that puts the intended

users of a site at the centre of its design and development. It does this by talking directly to the user at

key points in the project to make sure the site will deliver upon their requirements.

The stages are carried out in an iterative fashion, with the cycle

being repeated until the project's usability objectives have been attained. This makes it critical that the

participants in these methods accurately reflect the profile of your actual users.The essential activities

in a user-centered design project:

• Requirements gathering - Understanding and specifying the context of use.

• Requirements specification - Specifying the user and organizational requirements.

• Design - Producing designs and prototypes.

• Evaluation - Carrying out user-based assessment of the site.

"The chief difference from other interface design philosophies is


that user-centered design tries to structure a user interface around how people naturally work, rather
than requiring users to learn how the interface works."

The designing of recreation club is not merely a combination of


spaces on the basis of function. It is much more than that. The designing depends on behavior
pattern, psychological aspects as to how people move, how they visualize things, the degree of
privacy they require and much more.

 DATA COLLECTION

 PATTERNS OF MOVEMENT

 Defined movement

 Random movement

 Mixed movement

 Stable movement

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
1.Defined movement

This is the movement with a direction and a defined purpose. This is further divided into :

a) Multi- activity movement :

Movement has various directions, but every approach is purposeful.

b) Mono- activity movement :

It restricts to only one activity and a particular direction.

2.Random movement

This is the movement with no direction. It may or may not have any purpose. This is further divided
into:

a) Movement with a purpose :

Movement has no fixed direction, but still it has a well defined purpose.

b) Movement without a purpose:


It is also known as leisure movement. It has no direction and no purpose.

3.Mixed movement

This movement is the mixture of above two movements. This is further divided into:

a) Random followed by defined movement :


At first, movement is defined with a direction but after fulfilling its purpose, it becomes random.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
b) Defined followed by random movement:

At first, the movement is random and without direction but after finding it’s destination, it becomes
defined.

4.Stable movement

The person remains stable with occasional movement to / from its destination.
Further categorization:

a) Within the building - Pedestrian movement


b) Outside the building - Both Pedestrian and vehicular movement

 VARIOUS ASPECTS FOR MOVEMENT STUDY:

1. Psychological Aspects
2. Visual Aspects
3. Physical Aspects

1.Psychological Aspects

 Psychology of human being affects the movement.


 A designer controls the movement of a person in a building by effectively studying the psychology of
human being.

2.Visual Aspects

 Visibility is an important measure for a person while moving.


 It plays its role both in interiors as well as exterior designing.
 Landscape and landmarks in case of exterior and lights and textures in case of interior.

3.Physical Aspects

 A designer controls the movement of the users, keeping in mind the physical aspects.
 Also focuses on the degree of privacy, the user requires.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
 Proper arrangement of spaces for different activities.

 ADVANTAGES

Some of the advantages of Movement oriented design are :

 Free flow functioning of all activities,


 Well organized spaces,
 Put off overcrowding,
 Energy saving,
 Orderly parking

 SPACE RELATIONSHIP:

1. Functional Space – Activity and administrative areas.


2. Circulation Space – Lobbies and corridors.
3. Landscape Spaces – Sit outs, gardens, lawn.
4. Service Space – Horizontal and vertical ducts

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
 CLASSIFICATION

The classification of activities is done with respect to the activities


held inside the main building i.e., internal and the activities to be held outside the main building i.e.,
external.

The further classification of internal activities is done as the


activities performed by and activities performed by the young / adult people, who is again parted as
the activities for males and activities for females.

This classification is also same for the external activities, which is


fractioned among kids and young people and is further parted between males and females.

 FLOOR WISE DISTRIBUTION OF SPACES

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
 Ground Floor - Noisy & Dynamic Activities

 First Floor - Silent Activities

 First & Second Floor - General Activities (Mixed)

 Second Floor - Lodging Facility

 Third Floor - Banquet Hall

The floor wise distribution of spaces can also be done in order to


achieve proper zoning. This can be done as providing noisy and dynamic activities at a single floor
suppose ground floor, keeping it away from the silence zone such as library and conference room,
etc. The placement of general activities, lodging facilities and banquet can be also done in
accordance with zoning concept.

 ANALYSIS OF BEHAVIOUR

• Parking: - For both visitors as well as staff.

Aspiration- parking shall be at a certain distance, so they not need to walk much.

Analysis- as per left rule, a person feels secure on the left side of the road. So, the parking

should be at the left side of the building and at a certain distance in order to avoid traffic

congestion near the entrance lobby.

• Entrance lobby :- Is used as a meeting point, for waiting and for general discussions.

Aspiration- 65% of the visitors wants quite sober informal seating arrangement, while 35%

visitors wants brightly illuminated informal seating arrangement.

Analysis- informal yet glamorous environment is desired.

• Totlot:- Children don’t want their parent’s company, but they should be in their vision.

Aspiration- Open playing area with various playing equipment.

Analysis- Child supervision should be provided.

• Lawn: - This seems to be a favourite place of all age groups for relaxation,

waiting and gossiping.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
Aspiration- 60 % visitors desires lawn should be surrounded through hedges, while

40% desires personalized corners. Lawn space should preferably not be open to clear

vision from the site entrance.

 Analysis-

• Badminton Hall :- Used by female of the age between 12-20 years and male of the group between

15-45 years. Spectator’s response encourages player’s participation.

Aspiration - 75 % (max female), desire indoor court, 25 % desire outdoor court.

Analysis- Badminton court preferably should not be outdoor.

• Swimming pool:- The pool area is used by all age group people.

Aspiration - 80 % swimmers desire outdoor pool. Children of age group (7-10) years

desire segregation in pool. Pool should be in a remote counter.

Analysis- Pool should not be the focal point between the activity areas. A pool for

children should be provided.

• Billiard room:- This seems to be a favorite place for all age group males above 16 years.

Aspiration- Players don’t want the viewers to create any disturbance, and the viewers

don’t want the vision disrupted.

Analysis- To avoid the vision obstrustructions of viewers and to avoid the traffic

congestion near the billiard tables, some options for seating arrangements

shall be provided.

 ZONING CONCEPT

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
Zoning depends upon the use of the particular area in a building. A

proper zoning can lead to disperse the crowd at the initial and also plays an important role in

avoiding overcrowding at certain areas in a building.

It can begin with an appropriate location of parking, so the visitors

have to move less after parking their vehicles. The multipurpose hall is kept apart from the rest of

the activity zones to allow free circulation on special occasions, without disturbing the rest of the

movement.

The main zone houses all the activities with the restaurant, an

inviting zone, at easy distance from all activity areas. Lawn area is provided near the children’s play

area for child safety and supervision. It is divided into small lots, one between ladies activity zone

and other activity zones.

The open air theatre zone and multipurpose hall zone are kept as

far as possible to avoid noise intermixing and disturbances.

The swimming pool zone is given a slight secluded corner to

ensure privacy.

 PLANNING CONCEPT

 Planning: The planning should be the combination of both compactness and openness.

Public yet private: waiting lounge, restaurant, lawn are the places where many groups are formed.

These groups are formed of two or more than two people. In these groups some people desire

segregation from other groups. In other words, people want a personal space in which they can

accommodate themselves.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
Circulation routes: a recreation club brings a sense of joy, fitness and well being. The planning has to

extend to the whole site area. For breaking the visual fatigue, relaxation to the eye, gossiping and

coolness these areas play a major role.

 RECOMMENDATION:-

Functional and aestheticdesign consideration have to respect well

motivated requirement of production. Approach behind a recreational club is well connected with the

area which it wants to serve and is easily approachable. The site should be free from noise so that

person feel relax. Thus an aesthetically designed building with neat and pollution free atmosphere

and well connected site with sufficient capacity are of the important factor which enter into the

archietect’s concept of recreational club.

 Functional & psychological aspects:-

• Entrance-

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
The entrance lobby is quit spacious and serves its purpose very

effectively staircase and seating area in lobby is in such a way that are of

circulation is not disturded.

• Billiards hall-

Billiards hall creats good environment for billiards playing

members. On one wall score board is hung and on its opposite side all along the

wall spectators stands are arranged.

Three billiards tables are placed in the middle in a row and on

other side spectators stands are arranged outside 6ft. area and seats should be

raised on a dais.

• Table tennis room-

Tables for T.T very considerably in size but plan allow for full size

tables 9ft. by 5ft. with a space atleast 5ft.between tables side by side and 10ft.

between two ends. These spaces may be increased considerably for matches play.

Special care should be taken to provide adequate lighting both for day and night

play.

• Reading room-

The reading room is large with capacity of 50-55 persons. Book

stand and newspaper stands are arranged on one wall side and chair placed

perpendicular to it in a row arranged back to back. A person when enters into the

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
reading room must get a quite and reading atmosphere on his mind.reading room

is well lighted/illuminated by florescent tube-lights and reader does not face any

problem in searching book from stand or selves. Here all types of books and

newspapers like current affair magazine, political magazines, sports magazines,

fashion magazines , children’s comics etc. are available for readers. Thus

reading room is serving both functional and psychological purpose effectively.

• Lawn tennis-

Various services such as grass, asphalts or patent hard material

are suitable. The standard side of the court is 78ft. long by 36ft.wide to which must

be added, as room-bacle, atleast 21ft. each end and 12ft.at sides. The surrounding

are often reduced, except for special courts, where two courts are placed together

in public recreation grounds. It is generally allowed 120ft. length, with 6ft. to 10ft.

between courts need orientation to avoid the sun shine in player’s eyes, north-east

to south-west for the main axis is the best aspects for general purposes. Courts

should be enclosed with galvlnise wire fencing 10 ft. to 12ft.

• Swimming poll-

For general public use the minimum lengthof swimming pool

should be 60ft. for high diving a depth atleast 14 preferably 15ft. is necessary over

the whole of an area extending 25ft. horizontally from a point immediately below

the end of the highest board. The flat generally considered the minimum water

depth in which races can take place. The highest diving stage should not exceed

twice the depth of water. The edge of the both or take off should not be more than

18 in.above the water level. The dimension of 4ft.given should be considered as

the greatest permissible for shallow ends. The arrangement for bathrooms should

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
also be considered, five bathrooms are there separately for men and women along

with changing room.

• Discotheques-

The commercial aim of disco is to increase the interaction of the

revenue earning function and to provide a socializing ambiance in which visitors

can relax and indulge in group identification. The scale of permiss range from the

adapted small hall or pub to the popular with space for small 1000 people. The

technical equipment for lighting and sounding are continuously being improved

lighting of discos is characterized by the rotating mirrored spheres and pulsating

strobe lighting. With in dance area the cont of lighting and sound which combine to

create mood will be carried cut by the disc jockey. The lighting-sports, flood, colour

filtered etc. can be synchronised with the sound so that by frequency banding, light

becomes the analogue of the music to give an audio-visual experience. The sound

system may consist of two disc tables, space for strong disc, a control panel. The

quality of cassettes and compact disc is improving,and where there is vibration or

movement these may be preferred. The order of stereophone speakers, and the

space necessary for their accommodation in the ceiling or against a wall should be

identified. Now a days discotheques are operated in conjunction with a bar,

restaurant or cabaret and have live music as part of the evening. The location of

sitting should allow easy access. Clear visibility for the front of the house and

avoidance of conflict with adjoining premises. The location of the console in relation

to dance floor is important.the full view of the dance floor should be available to the

disc jockey.

For the young in decades,the recreation to orthodox

ballroom dancing identified in the discotheque venues, became a powerful source.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7

But the dance pattern suggest that outside the ballroom contemporary social

dancing is not only an opportunity for individual display to the partner or the group,

but also the self expression of free from dancing.

• Bowling alley-

The four lane bowling alley is bordered by white niches in a blue

wall. Lighting below helps to bring out colourful effects. An undulating metal wall lies just

outside the entrance to the bowling alley. A mirror next to the entrance create a ripple –like

effect of metal. A wooden bench is provide to allow bowling members to sit comfortably

and change their shoes and is hidden from direct view. Bottom lighting helps todefine the

bowling lanes and add brilliance to the room.

4. To have easy and fast evacuation in case of calamities.

 Separate fire escape routers are provided to have easy and fast evacuation.

 ADVANCED STUDIES-

RELEVANCE OF ELECTIVES

Land and interior design were the two areas of advanced studies chosen by the author.

• Landscape

A club building is very different from other buildings in the sense

that it does not offer any functional service in the prevalent sense of the word. What it offers

instead is a sense of joy fitness and well being. One has to plan experience and expections

while planning a club building. While planning the user psychological state. One cannot

stop with a small area called the built mass that is the building, for it consists only a part of

the whole experience of the user. The planning has then to be extended to the whole site

area.

Further Indian climate is suitable for outdoor planning. The club

has more attendance during evenings and members have a tendancy to enjoy outdoor

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
surroundings. That is why has given specific stress in landscape detailing and tried to

integrate it with the built mass as far as possible.

• Interior design

The reason for choosing interior design as a topic of advanced

studies arise from the same philosophy that only provision of any facility is not sufficient

while planning a club building. What is more important instead of what type of atmosphere

that activity and the area assigned to it produces.

Though the placement of various areas had already explorer this

aspect of visual connection between two areas nevertheless while designing the interior,

aesthetical considerations were sole deciding factors sometimes.

 OVERALL FINDING AND PROPOSALS

• Interior of Restaurant

The following guideline are followed to make environment of restaurant make delightful and

purposeful:

I. Every table gives a close view of either dancing flour or outside surroundings.

II. French window increases the visual area and brings nature more closer.

RECREATION CLUB; COSIDERING USER MOVEMENT 7


6
III. Artificial and natural plants are given in the restaurant to create the inter-penetration of nature

inside the hall.

IV. To create a royal impression of restaurant by providing innovative artistic features, colour,

texture and lighting.

V. Lighting- there are dim light in the restaurant living area to reduce the harshness of features

and it should be orange brown tone.

VI. The food served should look delectable, fortunately most food item fall in orange brown

category and so look fine under the dim brown lights meant for people.

VII. Contrast colour is used insight the restaurant to create dramatic effect.

VIII. Smooth texture is used by large size of glazed opening and plain plastering with combination

of cool and hot colours.

• Landscaping of children’s playground

All equipment should contribute to the healthy growth and recreational enjoyment of the child,

so that he learns to coordinate, cooperate, compete, create, enjoy and acquire confidence,

playing equipment should-

I. Develop strength ability, coordination, balance and courage.

II. Stimulate the child to learn social skills of sharing and playing with others and to compete in

a spirit of fair play.

III. Encourage each child to be creative and have play experience which are meaningful to

him.

IV. Assist the child in making the transition from playsuit to playground.

 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:-

Beginning with the selection of the subject and theme and later,

selection of the appropriate site the project involved working out the challenges and problems to be

dealt with in a logical manner.

In this project, the major challenge was to work out the modalities

of the club with its essential amenities, their functional and location significance after conducting the

relevant literature and case studies and late to integrate the project development with the essence

of the theme to make the club a dynamic platform for wholesome social activity without tempering

with the traditional purpose of the club.

Recreational club is meant for public enjoyment and relaxation.

Recreational club proposed is supposed to be a tool to entertain the members and visitors.

Greatcare should be taken regarding each and every aspects. Also the choice of material used for

both external and internal finishers has been carefully controlled. The use of colour has been

carefully modulated internally as well as externally throughout it should have sober and peaceful

touch of feeling. The building is designed on the theme of openness. Great attention has been paid

to the needs of those who will come to the club as well as those who will work in it terms of their

physical and psychological well being.

Looking back this thesis project involved lot of energy and time. At

times it appeared quite grueling, but on the whole it has been a wonderful experience.
