Initial Plant Study based on Solar study
Planting has been proposed strategically considering the from structural design as well as availability of natural light due
Solar analysis was carried out and the plants have been zoned based on sunlight requirement Since external landscape has been completed in tournament design phase, major focus was on the conversion of bleachers and pitch landscape which act as a school ground. Hardscaping has been chosen in order to limit the refelction and heat gain.
Final Plant Pallete
The proposed landscape design takes into consideration the technical challenges posed in the design conversion. As the bleachers are designed for human load, soil and plant load has to be minimised with minimal irrigation and drainage facilities available. An innovative method was used to landscape the bleachers in line with hydroponics. in order to reduce soil load, a system siimilar to hydroponics was employed. To reduce the irrigation system, cascading water system has been used and drainage ptovided only at the end lowest levels of the bleacher. This has been coordinated with the structural and mechanical team during the tournament phase and approved.
Plant pallete has been prepared cautiously considering the many structural and utility challegenes as well as sustainability.
Main concerns were
• Availability of sunlight
• Limited root system
• Limited water consumption
• Plant in total shall be small and light weight
• Shall adhere to GSAS requirements
• Shall be native or at least adaptive species
