HISTORY OF RESORT  The concept of leisure resorts is not a product of modern age, but in fact resorts have been in existence for many centuries. Historically, the oldest resorts can be traced back to the roman empire of nearly two thousand years ago.  The ancient Romans created a public leisure facility known as Baths that could be used by both men and women separately.  Gradually the baths evolved from their modest structure to include more extravagant facilities such as gym, a library, restaurant, stores, lounge, and even a museum and a theater. These baths were utilized for health, recreation and social employment.  In Europe the earliest spa resort was developed in Belgium in the 14th century in a town that is now known by the name of Spa.  In the 17th century, resorts and spas became popular in Britain with King Charles II leading the trend by visiting various resorts for relaxation and enjoyment.  The 19th century saw the development of exclusive resort facilities offering more privacy to the visitors.  The fact that resorts came to be used by visitors for longer stays, resulted in more home-like facilities being added to the resorts.  In North American countries the earliest resorts were developed at the starting of the 19th century. The first resorts were created in Virginia and New York. 1

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES: Indoor recreational activities in variably require definite spaces for equipment and clearances for using it. Not all games occupy floor areas indicated as necessary for those are diagramed. But if interiors are planned to accommodate large units of equipment such as that required for table tennis, and provide necessary playing clearances, spaces will be adequate for many other uses as well. Dimensions of game equipment and floor areas required for its use are both subject to variation. Sizes noted here are comfortable averages, not absolute minima.

KITCHENS: Kitchens in India are no longer used only as a space for cooking meals. A kitchen, today also acts as an interior space for storage of food grains and raw materials, storage of utensils, washing machines, refrigerators and other electrical-electronic gadgets. Storage for gas cylinders, breakfast counters or mini dining tables for users convenience. One must consider the rising cost of construction and try and accommodate all modern and efficient basic equipment available in the local market to give the housewife or user the most functional and effective kitchen. Kitchens of today are small and compact and the success of a designer depends upon giving best management and layout based on available sources of raw material and kitchen equipment. The basic study of anthropometry will definitely help in minimising reaching and bending for storage of materials. Storage space designed should not be higher than the normal reach of the average Indian woman. Storage can be easily classified into the following major categories: • Fast moving items. • Slow moving items. • Rarely required items. • Occasionally required items. Storage should be provided taking into consideraton above categories along with their masses, sizes varying amounts and variety of food, supplies, utensils and equipments.

BASIC LAYOUTS: Elements which are required to be considered in designing of kitchen are as given below: 1. Cooking platform 2. Kitchen sinks, drain boards and storage of drinking water. 3. Preparation counter. 4. Breakfast counter or table space. 5. Storage for gas. 34

38

PARKING LAYOUT: • Parallel parking. • Parallel parking requires experience, confidence and patience. • Parking spaces (min); 7.5 metres long and 2.75 metres wide.

ANGLE 90 PARKING: • Efficient in low turnover rate or long term parking areas, the perpendicular, or 90 degree parking configuration is the most vehicles per linear meter. Standard dimensions for this configuration are: • • • • •

Parking space width 2.75m. Parking space length 6 m. Driving aisle width (2-way) 7 m. Two rows plus aisle width 19m. Vehicles per 100 linear meter double row 82.

ANGLE 60 DEGREE PARKING: • • • •

It is ideal for a fast turn over rate for predominately. Short term use. Often offset by difficulties of inefficient circulation. Patterns and one-way aisles.

RECEPTION AREAS: Proper design of the reception area is critical in communicating an organization’s desired corporate image. Reception spaces are both the first and last areas with which the visitor interacts and accordingly, have considerable visual impact in communicating that image.

The seating arrangements illustrated here provide some typical conditions that the designer must address individual seats are preferred over sofas. Corner seating arrangements must always consider clearance. Circulation between low tables and the edges of chairs must be adequate to allow for the legs of persons seated in the chairs. Convenient locations for side tables, so that magazines, ashtrays, artwork, or portable lighting can be placed on them, are important. 42
