Conference rooms in convention centers are dedicated spaces designed to host meetings, seminars, workshops, and smaller-scale events within the larger convention facility. These rooms provide a more intimate setting compared to the expansive exhibition halls commonly found in convention centers.

TYPES OF CONFERENCE ROOMS: Size and Capacity: Conference rooms are typically smaller than the main exhibition halls, accommodating a more limited number of attendees.

Convenience shops in a commercial complex within or adjacent to a convention center typically provide a range of services and products to meet the immediate needs of visitors, event attendees, and staff. These shops are designed to offer convenience and quick access to essential items.

Functionality: Conference rooms are versatile spaces that can be configured in various layouts, such as theater-style, classroom-style, U-shaped, or boardroom-style, depending on the nature of the event. They often come equipped with audio-visual equipments.

• Only one access road flanks the site limiting the access points to the site.

View of transmission • The site borders the Airport road and the university towers in green patch on two sides, making these areas prone to significant pedestrian traffic. Noise levels are also high on these 4 edges.

• The remaining two edges of the site are adjacent to an industrial plot and the INFOSYS campus, where footfall is comparatively lower.

• So, these areas are suitable for hosting relatively fewer public spaces and more private.

Optimum orientation: • Longer faces of the building should face north to get maximum diffused light.

• It can contribute to energy savings by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Natural Ventilation: • Building should be oriented in the direction of wind to achieve natural ventilation. The prevailing wind direction is from SW to NE direction.

• At the central core of the site, there is a cluster of short trees, forming an open space that can be utilized as an interactive area to enhance engagement within the site.

• These can be utilized as an extended outdoor space for workshops and exhibitions.

Climate responsive design strategies:

5. Monthly average wind speed

• Vegetation Vegetation & trees provide shade & reduce heat gain. It can create pressure differences.

• Courtyard Effect Cool air from the ground level flows through the louvered openings of rooms surrounding a courtyard.

Strength

• Fenestration Shades – both vertical & horizontal shades control radiative heat gain.

The maximum temperature diagram for Mohali displays how many days per month reach certain temperatures.

3. Monthly average temperatures and precipitation

This diagram shows the days per month, during which the wind reaches a certain speed.

Helps to achieve thermal comfort for the occupants by reducing unwanted heat loss or gain.

Both passive and active design stategies can be implemented to make the buildings climate responsive.

• Roof form

Passive design results when a building is created and simply works on its own whereas active design uses equipment to modify the state of the building.

COMMERCIAL COMPLEX CUM CONVENTION CENTRE, MOHALI SHEET N0.2 SITE ANALYSIS

Weakness

• Only one access road flanks the site limiting the access points to the site.

• Transmission towers & lines are present in the green patch along the main road.

• The site borders the airport road and the university on two sides, making these areas prone to significant pedestrian traffic due to unavailability of footpath along the university road.

Opportunity

• More private functions can be placed on the site edges where the noise levels are less.

• A cluster of trees exist at the core of the site, the open space thus created can be used as an interactive space to maximize the interaction within the site as an extended outdoor space for workshops and exhibitions.

Threat

• Singular road access could create conflict in circulation of pedestrians, public & service vehicles due to presence of university in front of the site.

• Presence of transmission towers & lines may pose safety concerns due to being along the major road having high traffic volume.

• Thermal Insulation

Sloping & vaulted roofs can be utilized for gaining more or less solar radiation.

• Wall Materials Cavity walls with air spaces between the two layers reduce heat transmission.

• Natural Ventilation Properly locate and size windows as per the windflow direction for improving indoor air quality.

• Site has a lot of potential to tap into service-led convention and exhibition events due to good air connectivity (ease of accessibility), affordable cost of living and presence of industrial and IT developments.

• 50M wide green patch creates a buffer from the main road reducing traffic noise levels.

• Moreover, the other two edges of site also have less footfall & noise levels.

CONCEPT

It be achieved by using cost-effective construction techniques and recyclable materials.

IDEOLOGY IT City, Mohali

Site lies within the under development IT City, Mohali

IT Industries Growth

Mohali anchors the IT and services growth in the region

ZONING ON SITE

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

Cost effectiveness = Revenue generation

State-ofthe-art Facilities

Need of a state-of-theart convention center in the city which can act as the nodal hub

Sustainable Development

Possibility of generating more revenue by incorporating cost effectiveness

Cost effectiveness will contribute to the sustainable development

Recycled Metal

Recycled Wood

Recycled Concrete

Recycled Plastic

Recycled Glass

It can also be achieved by designing flexible layouts and adaptable spaces to accommodate changing needs over time.

This may involve optimizing floor plans to minimize wasted space , selecting durable materials that require minimal maintenance.

THRUST AREA- SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable development (SD) emphasizes the integration of environmental, economic and social considerations to create a balanced and equitable society.

By designing designated spaces for small business outlets/ local handicrafts/ informal markets to be utilized by local residents, village populations & farmers ; social equity can be attained.

Environment / The Planet

3 pillars of sustainable development are a) environment b) economy c) society These are often also referred to as the planet, profit and people.

Viable

Economy / Profit

SD Manageable

Commercial complex consisting of retail spaces on lower floors and business hub/ office spaces on top floors, is in direct access to the site defining its functionality as per public usage.

Social / People

• Vegetation

Convention centre & hotel are high-rise in comparison to the lowrise commercial complex due to which zoning at the back of site with secondary entry-exit provides a clear skyline.

FORM EVOLUTION

It can be achieved by passive design strategies which provides thermal comfort to the users in addition to its contribution to sustainability.

• Water Bodies

The spaces have been zoned according to the public and private zones as well as the inter-connectivity of the spaces.

Fair

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

• Natural Ventilation

Zoning of spaces on site

• Thermal Insulation

Convention Centre

The use of circles in architectural design and planning can contribute to spatial efficiency, visual appeal, and a sense of harmony.

• Wall Materials

Circular floor plans often allow for better flow and flexibility, as there are no sharp corners or dead spaces.

• Terrace garden Central open spaces can enhance the visual hierarchy of the building.
