The resort have a physical as well as physiological impact on the minds of the people . Traffic development and industrialization had lead to the urbanization which has stolen the mental peace of the human created resort to quench his theist for the peace. Nesting admist lush given environs, embraced by hillocks (or) a forest reserve (or) any nature reserve, resort emerges as an enchanting retuat for everyone . resort is one of the few places that offer a break from the strain of hectic life styile a completely different world engulf the visitor by taking a walk along the lonely pathways (or) playing on the lawns and feeling the concept of given under the feet (or) taking boat ride (or) plunging into the swimming pool (or) pending a quite evening and recharging for the week ahead. Resort an of greater help to urbanized world providing natural surroundings and change of environment. It is a place for spending complete holding on a serene and scenic atmosphere away from the maddening crowd of the city and enjoys the beauty of nature in pleasant atmosphere and landscape and is in seeking alter the physical landscape as well . White option fills the air.
NEED OF RESORT : In a addition to the homely comfort , people prefer to enjoy the weekends with and in nature has physical as well as psylogical impact on minds of the people. Traffic development and industrialization had lead to urbanization which had stolen the mental peace of the human. In this endeavour of man to escape from the urban chaos has created recreational space to quench his theist for mental peace, relaxation and change of environment.
AIM : The aim is to familiarize with designs on sloping sites. To study a different type of building structures on a hill. To show the nature and extent of spread and relationship of the built with the sensitive setting. The Aim is comprised of possibilities of designs on varying grades and utilizing the environmentally susceptible setting to its optimum potential.
SCOPE AND LIMITATION : The scopes of the projects are, The resort with recreational facilities posses wide range of scope. If we analyze the present trend of internal resort tourism and need of leisure place, then it is acceptable to have multifunctional resort, which not only focus on overnight stay but also concern in day services too. For internal visitors, there is no trend of going hotels in weekend, due to their location on core urban area. They intend to go some distance far from city so that they can enjoy the environment and freshness there. Hence, resort tourism can provide best solution to internal tourists.
For external tourism, it will function as a luxurious resort which provides all the facilities within its boundary so as to make their stay pleasing and exotic. It will help to promote resort tourism in Nepal and encourage foreigner to come here once just to stay in this very resort. Ultimately, it will enhance tourism sector of country. Resort can also be a place for convection and conference, and that depends on the quality of space they provide so that the convection, conference or seminar becomes more interesting and fascinating. The proposed resort will attempt to provide seminar space to meet international lstandard. The resort will be a place to gain knowledge regarding the green design, as it will applying tegrated energy system. The limitations of the projects are, It will not focus more on social survey, research as this is an academic project, and this does not fall under the primary constraint. The project is concerned in built form so; there will be limited research and study on feasibility of project and detailed site suitability will not be analyzed. The project will not focus on structural analysis of built structures of resorts, although structural consultation will be made and it will not be sufficient. The project will not covers all the details related to green design incorporated, though research will be made and required level of detailing will be done to meet the architectural requirement. Detailed environment assessment will nit be done due to limitation of knowledge in this field and it is not our primary focus, as the project is virtual. However, some impact will be analyzed
JUSTIFICATION : In present context, tourism in holds a great potential to establish itself as a significant means of economy. This sector has a great potentiality to generate foreign revenue, which can bring about immediate socio-economic benefit from small investments .A well-synchronized and planned resort, which caters the modern amenities as per the requirement of the visitors, is a present need. We can find many resorts here and only few of which are fulfilling these needs. In addition, most of the resorts are oriented to limited service focusing only foreigners and paying very little attention to urban haves. The multifunctional resorts are still absent in and this
proposed resort will be one of the iconic resort with all resort facilities which will ultimately promote resort tourism. The fact that, is still deficient of required hotel rooms comparing to tourists inflow, it is said that, the present number of hotel can only hold up to half a million visitors in a year. The tourist estimated to visit in tourism year 2011 is far more that the holding capacity of available accommodation. Thus, if we are really upon the promotion of tourism, we may receive more than 1 million visitors a year, if not this year then probably the next, so there is still need of huge numbers of hotels, resorts, lodges, home stays etc. Viewing the present scenario of the world, the issue of eco-sensitive and sustainable architecture must be raised by the architects and we as a architect can alter the landscape and built form for which we need to understand and be responsible for its far-reaching consequences. The future is hard to predict but some things are certain. There will be rise inurban population in developing economies and an increase in levels of income. This projectwill pay its attention towards the global energy crisis and climate change though it is a worth less effort to give impact in global scale, but it will certainly create an example and impact locally as there is saying, think locally, impact globally. This proposed resort could be the masterpiece of all resort that are functioning today and will approach to give it globalidentification. The most important part is socio-economic impact. The society has changed a lot from traditional to modern and still in the stage of metamorphosis, from modern to post modern ands anskritization through global interchange has not kept society untouched. The economic influence of tourism in is noteworthy as is has established itself as a prominent foreign exchange earner. Before 1960’s Pokhara was accessible only by foot, but now the economy has boosted and people around the country are being pulled there
Thus, tourism plays an important to upgrade local as well as national economy so resort proposed is commercially acceptable.
OBJECTIVES : The main objective of this proposal is to design Re-creative Tourist Resort for the partial fulfillment of Bachelor Degree of Architecture. Specifically the objectives are to,Provide a recreational environment for the resort through varieties of facilities and functions.Provide hospitality for both domestic and foreigner tourists and promote tourism ultimately Promote local as well as national economy through the promotion of both internal and external tourism.-
The establishment of tourist resort will create the economic opportunities to site neighborhood. Also the local and national economy will boost due to establishment of multifunctional recreational tourist resort.Create an interactive ground for locals and visitors so that there may be interchange of ideas and cultural demonstration.Provide a space for official meetings and seminars in natural surroundings.Make analytical study of the functional requirements of resort and implement efficient design to carry out the functions smoothly.Respond to climatic and energy consumption issues raised by present day architecture through eco-sensitive design .In addition, there are various objective related to achieving proper functioning built forms, that can be achieved through literature reviews and research. Thus, the objectives are to,Study about the materials and technology regarding the sustainability in designStudy about energy efficient designStudy about passive solar architectureStudy about low cost sustainable building materialsStudy about spatial organization and areal need of resort programs.
METHODOLOGY : The procedure of the project is stated as below : 1) Stating the problem 2) Objective 3) Data collection
1. PRIMARY SOURCE a) interviews
b) space standards c) area statements 2. SECONDARY SOURCE a) T.S.S b) Books on recreational facilities c) Literature survey from magazines
The project will be oriented to meet the requirements for the completion of Bachelors Degree in Architecture. Though it is an academic requirement, it will be based on ground reality. The following methodologies will be adopted in two phases to come up with the final design. Research phaseLiterature ReviewCase study This is preparatory phase for thesis project in which data, facts, spatial needs and requirements are studied focusing on the approved topic. We will study the present functioning and organization of spaces through case studies. All the findings gathered in this phase will be applied in our design phase. Design phaseSite selection and analysisProgram formulation and zoningConceptual designDesign development Analysis and evaluation of output designPreparation of architectural drawings, model, report for final presentation.
