 1. INTRODUCTON

A lot of innocent lives are lost and destroyed every single day due to Drug and Substance
Abuse. Unlike a normal person,a drug addicted or abused one is not fit for social environment
because they can harm other people as well as themselves in their clouded state of mind. These
people lose all their objectives and desires in life and get stuck in a never-ending vicious cycle
which can only lead them to a path of destruction.The main function of a Rehabilitation Centre
is to help them overcome their addiction and think rationally by treating them so that they can
recover and return back to their old normal lives and be HAPPY,CONTENT and at PEACE
with themselves.In a way,it also signifies the metamorphosis of a person into a better human
being,giving them a new life.
There are many young and reckless people who come to Goa to have fun but instead end up
getting mixed up in substance abuse and ruin their lives. The addiction problem whether drugs
or alcoholism, appears grave but so far Goa does not have any dedicated drug and alcohol
rehabilitation centre. Parents have to take their children outside of Goa to treat them. The main
aim is to make Goa a better place for visitors and tourists so that there is no sadness,grief and
negativity which is generally associated with addiction,but Goa should be only known for its
nature,beauty,cheerfulness,happiness and positivity.It should be recognised as a social and safe
place for visitors.It is becoming a major health problem in india and since Goa is one of the
most visited destinations in india,it should also take a stand in the eradication of drugs and
alcohol in some way and take a moral responsibility towards it.Also,there are many crimes that
happen because of the possession of drugs.
 2. AIM

The design of the building should be in an order to recover or rehabilitate the patients by
understanding the terms of psychological treatment through the building envelope.

center a sustaining one in terms of revenue required to operate it in a successful
manner.
 To use different and appropriate landscaping elements for the centre so as to improve
the health and reduce it in humans.

 The campus will also include residential facilities for staff member(nurses, ward boys
and hospitality staff)
 Study of circulation and services.
 Study the socio-economic impact of the project and incorporate the desired changes in
the design.
 Study the effects of the factors such as site surrounding, climate, etc. those effect the
design and suggest appropriate solution to counter the effects of such factors.

 Even when there are enclosed spaces,there should be enough ventilation and light in

6.1 HISTORICAL

Goa is one of the Indian states that remained under colonial rule for a period of 451 years.
Calangute became popular due to its invasion by the Portuguese. Since, then the place was
called Calangute from its original name Kolongutt, which it was referred as before the invasion.
History of Calangute dates back to the early third century. Calangute history is very rich and
glorious. During that time Calangute was part of the Mauryan Empire. Later on, it went under
the rule of the Satavahanas of Kolhapur. The kingdom of Calangute was also under the rule of
the Kadambas and Shilharas.

In the year 1312, Calangute came under the rule of the Mughals. In the year 1469, Bahami
Sultans of Gulbarga took over the entire region of Goa. Adil Shah of Bijapur came into the
scenario after the Sultans of Gulbarga. In the year 1510, the Portuguese invaders banished the
entire kingdom of Adil Shah and set up their colony at Calangute. They ruled for a long time
until the British annexed the entire coastal region of India. During the rule of the Portuguese
and the Dutch in Calangute, large number of the local inhabitants converted their religion to
Christianity. The native people of Calangute are highly influenced by the Portuguese culture
and heritage.
6.2 CLIMATOLOGY

Calangute enjoys a coastal climate almost throughout the entire year. As it is located along the
Arabian Sea, the weather is quite mild and pleasant. Calangute experiences a very consistent
climate, excepting the months of April and May, during when summer is at its peak.
Temperatures here can soar to as high as 35oC. Also, Calangute experiences high humidity
during these months. However, being a coastal town, the gentle sea breeze has a very soothing
effect on the climate. Monsoons arrive by early June. During monsoons, Calangute receives the
maximum amount of rainfall. It gives a great respite from the previously hot months. Visiting
Calangute in these months is not much preferred. Swimming in the beach is sometimes
prohibited especially during days of heavy downpour. Monsoons generally last until late
September. By late November, Calangute enjoys a short winter. Temperatures duing these
months can drop to 20oC. Nights are cooler. Though the humidity is still present, days are more
pleasant, making this period the most preferred time for tourist to make a visit to Calangute.
Winter usually last till Mid-February.

Designing an environment for rehabilitating drug addicts needs sensitivity and a better
understanding of their situation. the importance of being connected for the patients there. Being
isolated increases their depression and their craving. Therefore the design should attempt to
create as much transparency, openness and fluidity of space to help in the healing, correcting
process. This architecture attempts at raising a sense of belonging and sharing between the
users and therefore indirectly causing recoveries.
