GOLF CLUB
2
The topic chosen by me for my thesis is a ‘GOLF CLUB’. When I studied about golf club, It was very fascinating for me to find that, it gives me the opportunity to explore more in field of architecture. It also consists of a vast part of landscaping (mainly in golf course). Although, planning about the golf course is itself really challenging as it contains contours, water bodies and many other elements which motivated me more for choosing golf club as my thesis topic. The designing of a golf course is not only limited to landscaping but includes various other facilities like swimming pool, tennis and squash courts and an equestrian centre. Large scale golf course also hosts various tournaments and cups which arise the requirement of designing a guest house for the stay of the participants. Other than that several indoor and outdoor bars, restaurants, gym, sauna, etc. are also a part of a golf club. A lot of efforts go into designing a golf course because it is a large area and requires accessible facilities at every point. Hence the main motive to design a golf club is to study a circulation of large space and also working on contours. Apart from landscaping a major part of designing a golf club is solely dedicated to construction of various buildings required for other facilities.

INTRODUCTION: THE HERITAGE VILLAGE project was born out of an intense concern of Hasta Shilpa Trust of Manipal for the restoration and conservation of centuries-old vernacular structures Of architectural merit, aesthetic interest and craft importance and also for preservation of traditional objects of art and craft of Karnataka state. The whole concept is based on that art, craft and architectural traditions are integral to our cultural continuity. The whole crisis lies in the fact that when a society loses its sense of identity with its roots, and therefore its pride in itself, it is deprived of a sense of judgment of values. Over the last decade, the trust has relocated through the process of restoration 26 structures of immense architectural merit and fine craftsmanship. The whole exercise of relocation of a traditional building involves several processes like documentation of the concerned structure through measured drawings and visuals, coding of each component of the structure prior to its dismantling and restoration of the damaged portions of the structure before its restructuring in the Village.

There were no water bodies on site natural or man made because the site itself was sloping down to the nearby lake. The site itself was highly porous and does not allow any water stagnation. Brown colour represents the existing pathways in site. The pathways were irregular in pattern depicting the village pathways and the pathways were not paved.` The pathways near the crafts centre were paved with brich to ensure artisans to work in open environment when necessary. The newly constructed structures were also done with locally available materials like laterite, stone, wood, mud etc….. All the entries were facing the street and the rear door also opens into the back street. The building materials used varies on each type of building, vernacular building materials and techniques were followed since all the structures were old buildings.

The front portion harbor, logically became the business block while the trader’s residence portion was located at the rear separated by the court left open to the sky. It was roofed with steep slopes and deep overhangs to ensure the drainage of the monsoon effectively so that the commodities stored remained dry. Robust circular and square coloumns with heavy brackets carved with geometrical patterns span
the whole interior of the business area.

CONCLUSION: Hastha shilpa forms an unique environment to conserve and protect the art and architecture of Karnataka just bringing out the rich culture of their past. Hastha shilpa gives an idea about the prominent style of art and architecture prevailed in early parts of Karnataka. It presently serves as a gateway for many historians, scholars and researchers to visit the complex , learn and
analyse the vernacular architecture of Karnataka and history. The planning is very cozy and composed. This place serves as a platform for many artisans to practice their arts and keep the art alive however the artisans didn’t have any accommodation in the complex. This place is not commercially viable as the trust is not interested in converting this place into a tourist spot and they have not encouraged any lay of powers by corporate sectors. This heritage complex is very sensitive that more crowed can’t be handled in this place due to the intricacy.
