RECREATIONAL SPACES

ABSTRACT Urban areas are often characterized by a high density of buildings, traffic congestion, and limited green spaces, which can adversely affect the physical and mental wellbeing of residents. In cities like Hyderabad, the rapid pace of urbanization has led to the reduction of natural landscapes and recreational areas, making it challenging for urban dwellers to find spaces for relaxation, exercise, and social interaction. This issue is compounded by the increasing stress levels and sedentary lifestyles associated with urban living, which contribute to various health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health disorders.

This thesis explores the design and development of a sustainable recreational space at Durgam Cheruvu, Hyderabad, aimed at enhancing urban dwellers' physical and mental well-being. Integrating elements such as eco-friendly structures, cultural activity zones, and educational facilities, the project addresses the need for natural catchment improvement, alternatives to concrete structures, and community engagement.

Through a combination of innovative landscaping, sustainable architecture, and diverse recreational amenities, the proposed design aims to revitalize the lakefront area, promoting environmental conservation and social interaction. The study includes comprehensive site analysis, case studies, and design strategies to create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban oasis

PROBLEM STATEMENT The rapid urbanization of Hyderabad has led to the encroachment and degradation of many natural areas, including Durgam Cheruvu, also known as the Secret Lake. Once a pristine water body, Durgam Cheruvu has faced pollution, loss of natural vegetation, and encroachment by urban development. This has not only impacted the ecological balance of the area but has also limited the recreational opportunities available to the city's residents. The lack of accessible, high-quality recreational spaces in urban areas contributes to a range of health issues, including increased stress levels, reduced physical activity, and a rise in lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular conditions. Additionally, the absence of green spaces impacts mental health, leading to higher rates of anxiety and depression among urban dwellers.

AIM OF THE PROJECT The aim of this thesis project is to design a recreational space at Durgam Cheruvu, Hyderabad, India, that fosters a harmonious relationship between human activity and the natural environment.

Utilizing the existing landscape contours: The design will leverage the natural slopes of the site to create a functional and visually appealing recreational space that minimizes disruption to the existing ecosystem.

Prioritizing user experience and accessibility: The project aims to create a space that caters to a diverse range of users and activities, ensuring easy navigation, inclusivity, and a sense of connection for all visitors.

Promoting sustainable practices: The design will incorporate environmentally conscious features to minimize the ecological footprint of the development and encourage responsible resource management

PERMEABLE PAVING: Permeable paving surfaces are made of either a porous material that enables stormwater to flow through it or nonporous blocks spaced so that water can flow between the gaps. Permeable paving can also include a variety of surfacing techniques for roads, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways.

Permeable pavement surfaces may be composed of; pervious concrete, porous asphalt, paving stones, or interlocking pavers.

Unlike traditional impervious paving materials such as concrete and asphalt, permeable paving systems allow stormwater to percolate and infiltrate through the pavement and into the aggregate layers and/or soil below. In addition to reducing surface runoff, permeable paving systems can trap suspended solids, thereby filtering pollutants from stormwater.

The lake is also known as the 'secret lake', as it was naturally hidden between rocks, with Jubilee Hills on one side and Madhapur on the other. The originally 150-acre Durgam Cheruvu is said to have been built somewhere between 1518 and 1687 by the Qutb Shahi kings to supply water needs for the residents of the Golconda fort. In the 1970s, the historian added that many people would visit the lake for picnics, and to admire the natural rock formations around the water body. Till the late 1990s, many residents of 'villages' nearby like Madhapur, would visit the lake to catch fish or to while away time. The lake which was blue and scenic then, is now algae-ridden and emits a foul smell caused by effluents discharged into it.

SITE DEVELOPMENT This conceptual design for recreational spaces at Durgam Cheruvu leverages the natural contours of the site to create a "recreational tapestry" woven into the landscape. It prioritizes user experience through careful consideration of visibility and accessibility, while offering a variety of activities that cater to diverse interests.

The upper slopes offer the most stunning panoramic views of the Durgam Cheruvu lake.

Placing the recreational block here allows users to enjoy breathtaking scenery while engaging in indoor activities. A strategically designed building on the upper slopes can become a landmark, visible from various points within the recreational space and potentially from beyond, drawing visitors in.

The opposite side of the amphitheater can be designed with a clear view of the recreational block positioned on the upper slopes

PLACEMENT OF OPEN AMPHITHEATER EXISTING SITE CONTOURS

Maintaining a safe distance from the lake's edge protects the building from potential hazards like water erosion or wave action during heavy rain.

Positioning the building on higher ground ensures it remains above the Full Tank Level (FTL) of the lake, minimizing the risk of flooding and property damage.

The natural slope of the land provides a perfect base for constructing stepped seating tiers. This minimizes the need for extensive earthworks while offering excellent sightlines for everyone in the audience.

Placing the open-air amphitheater (OAT) on medium slopes offers a unique opportunity to create an immersive and visually captivating experience for the audience. Taking advantage of the medium slope positioning, the amphitheater can be oriented with one side facing the Durgam Cheruvu lake.

This allows the audience to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the lake as a backdrop for the performance.

Level paths eliminate concerns about sudden inclines or declines, making navigation safer and more comfortable for everyone. This is especially important for cyclists who require a predictable and stable riding surface.

PLACEMENT OF RECREATIONAL BLOCK

Following level contours allows for greater flexibility in routing the pathways and cycle tracks. This enables you to optimize the use of available space and create a more engaging and dynamic experience for users.

PATHWAYS AND CYCLE TRACKS

Maintaining level pathways and cycle tracks caters to users with varying abilities, including those with mobility limitations, children, and older adults.

The lotus flower, a sacred symbol in India, serves as the central inspiration for the abstract form of recreational block.

The lotus flower's association with water and purity resonates perfectly with the lakeside location. It creates a harmonious visual and symbolic connection between the building, the Durgam Cheruvu lake, and the natural environment.

The building form will rise from the upper slopes like a lotus emerging from water. The base of the structure can be embedded slightly into the slope, creating a sense of connection with the earth.

This metaphor aligns well with the purpose of the recreational space, offering a place for people to relax, rejuvenate, and connect with nature.

therapy strip: Therapy gardens are designed to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being through the natural environment. The presence of greenery and natural elements in a therapy garden can create a serene environment, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue. The garden can serve as a space for mindfulness practices and meditation, offering visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and connect with nature. The garden can serve as a communal space where people can meet, interact, and engage in social activities. This can foster a sense of community and reduce feelings of isolation.
