CLIMATE

• Goa features a tropical monsoon climate under the Köppen climate classification.
• Goa, being in the tropical zone and near the Arabian Sea, has a hot and humid climate for
most of the year.
• The month of May is the hottest, seeing day temperatures of over 35 "C (95 F) coupled with
high humidity
• The monsoon rains arrive by early June and provide a much-needed respite from the heat.
Most of Goa's annual rainfall is received through the monsoons which last till late
September.
• Goa has a short winter season between mid-December and February.
• These months are marked by nights of around 21 C (68 "F) and days of around 28 C (84 "F)
with moderate amounts of humidity. Further inland, due to altitudinal gradation, the nights
are a few degrees cooler.
• During March 2008 Goa was lashed with heavy rain and strong winds. This was the first time
in 29 years that Goa had seen rain during March

Moisture Content & Rainfall:

• The moisture content in the fore dune is much higher compared to mid and hind dune The
maxi, moisture being at 1m depth in fore dune ,the mid dune has moisture till 20 cms in
depth and the hind dune has very sparse flora so evaporation is maximum which results less
moisture content.
• The average rainfall in this region is...325 cms.....

Inference
CONSIDERATION OBSERVATION
CONTOURS
The site has a considerable
slope of 1:18 from its
southern end to the
northern boundary.
VEGETATION The site has complete
green Cover of trees like
mangrove trees, Wild
banana, Palm trees and
wild grass.
SITE ACCESS
POINT The site has just one road
Le the main street on its
northern boundary and
one road terminating at
the south eastern
boundary.
SOIL Medium to deep brown
and ochre yellow coloured
soil type having saline
varying from 100 to 150
m/sqm
SURROUNDING The site has mainly high
BUILDING rise commercial and
residential buildings all
around with one large sand
dune in the east .
TRAFFIC
MOVEMENT The main street and central
PATTERN avenue has two way traffic
movement pattern and the
south eastern access road
terminates in to the site
ANALYSIS
The on site drainage in from
south to north through the
valleys in the site & the
sewer and storm water lines
should be decided
accordingly.
Some of the vegetation
might be useful for
landscaping, aesthetics and
may act as noise barriers
and some are completely
useless.
The oceanarium can have
access and exit points on
the northern boundary and
the south eastern boundary
The building has to be
developed on a
considerable slope of 1:18
and the soil types available
are soft in nature
There is varied character of
buildings around the site
with varied uses There is no
major public building in
almost 100 acres of its
surrounding
Both the probable access
roads has two way
movement patterns so the
access points need to be
developed accordingly
INFERENCE EVIDENCE
The building should
be preferably placed
at the northern hill
top and the sewer and
storm water lines
should be fed in to
the north-eastern
lines available under
the miramar
boundary.
Some of the trees
need to be relocated
or removed from the
site as per the
requirements of
landscaping and noise
barrier assembly
The main entrance
and exit should be
made from northern
main street and the
access point for
services should be
developed on the
south eastern
boundary
A combination of raft
,pile and stepped
foundation needs to
utilised to provide
stability to the
exhibition area.
The proposal of a
public building of this
scale in the precinct is
totally justified.
Entrance should be
made from the
eastern main street
approach and angle of
access should be such
as to avoid traffic
congestion the south-
eastern road to be
used for service
access.
BUILT FORM The surrounding buildings
CHARACTER are mainly high rise
residential and commercial
buildings utilising classical
elements for the facade
treatment.
CLIMATIC DATA Coastal climate with
moderate wind velocity
and moderate temperature
with high humidity.
Flora And Fauna
Tourism
Tourism is generally focused on the coastal areas of Goa. with decreased tourist activity inland. In
2010, there were more than two million tourists reported to have visited Goa, about 1.2 million of
whom were from abroad. As of 2013
People and culture.
The central location and low
rise nature of the museum
would break the monotony
of built form and would
merge in to the
surroundings very well
The building if developed on
the mound should be
designed to harness the
southern solar radiation and
winds of up to 10m/s from
the south east.
Suburban design
parameters like visual
hierarchy and other
relevant
considerations are to
be made and the low
rise nature of the
exhibition building
would not affect the
beauty of the
precinct.
The major openings
should be provided at
the southern and
south-eastern facade
and the tunnelling
from the structures in
the south should be
considered
