Bus Terminal

The document outlines the objectives and methodology for a master's thesis project designing an energy efficient bus terminal in Chennai, India. The project aims to create an integrated transit hub that serves as a public space, explores community-oriented design, and addresses issues with existing bus terminals. The methodology includes site analysis, case studies of existing terminals, and developing a concept that considers energy efficiency, sustainability, and the environment. The proposed site is a 13.5 acre area in Perungulatur, Kanchipuram.

BUS TERMINAL

Aim
To create a nodal integration between the transit hub and public space serving as a
free space for the people residing around the transit hub. The master thesis aims to
establish support in the design process for energy efficient bus terminals. The thesis also
aims to raise specific problematic during the design of such buildings and encourage for
further research or similar work.

Introduction
Today's trend toward suburban living accompanied by an increasing reliance upon
private automobiles by both the working and shopping population is literally saturating the
thoroughfares and parking facilities of chennai cities. This trend is driving shopping outlets
from our metropolitan centers into more accessible suburban locations.

Objectives
 Exploring, understanding and further applying the thinking of
society/community/people towards an urban space through architecture.
 Achieving a design of efficient transit hub.
 Secondary nature of being a node for not just the surrounding community but also
for the passengers.
 Being situated in a metropolitan city and more importantly in the country’s capital,
an image for international standards needed to be created.
 Socially and environmentally active complex.
 To provide an architecture solution for integrating the terminal with commercial
complex.
 To provide fast & unrest ending flow of traffic.
 To provide clear segregation of different type of traffic, no congestion at peak hour.

METHODOLOGY
 Understanding basic needs of design & its scope & limitations.
 Necessary data collection & analysis.
 Site analysis.
 Case study
 Framing requirement
 Evolution of design concept
 Building concept & design

Scope
The bus terminal proposed is in sector 21 Dwarka, Delhi and is supposed to be an
international bus terminal. The project focuses on improving the current scenario of transit hubs
by implementation of controls through design.

Also upgrading the transit hub as a community space so that it relates and responds for
and to the society surrounding it. Through research and case studies several issues were
realized in the existing typology of terminals. Hence by trying to resolve them, what has been
achieved is:

 Pedestrian friendly environment


 Socially active complex
 Crime preventive environmental design for better of women
 Security from man-made life threatening situations
 Controls for restricting unnecessary public intake to reduce chaos
