TOPIC- BEACH RESORT, GOA

DESIGN BRIEF

 GOA STATE WITH IT'S OVER 106 KM. LONG COASTLINE DOTTED WITH PURE,
ALMOST PRISTINE BEACHES AND RESPLENDENT MOUNTAINS IS A MUCH
SOUGHT AFTER DESTINATION. THEREFORE, RATHER THAN 5 STAR HOTELS
TIMESHARE RESORTS CATER MAINLY TO LEISURE TOURISTS, FAMILIES OR
INDIVIDUALS ON HOLIDAY RATHER THAN BUSINESS OR EDUCATIONALLY-
INCLINED TOURISTS. LEISURE TOURISTS HAVE A LOT OF TIME; THEY WANT
TO EXPERIENCE THE CULTURE OF THE PLACE THEY VISIT AND ENJOY THE
SCENIC BEAUTY AS WELL.
 I WANT TO DESIGN A BEACH RESORT BECAUSE I HAVE AN INTEREST IN
DESIGNING A HABITABLE SPACE NEAR A COASTAL REGION AND A BEACH
RESORT FULFILS MY GOAL.
 LEISURE INVOLVES BOTH SOLITUDE AND SOCIABILITY, SO THE RESORT
WILL BE A PLACE FOR VISITING A RANGE OF CULTURAL AND RELAXING
ACTIVITES SUCH AS MAKING YOUR OWN FISHING NET AND A BOAT TO GO
INTO SEA, FENI AND PORT WINE BREWING OR READ UP ABOUT THE GOAN
LIFE IN A QUAINT LIBRARY OR TICKLEYOUR CREATIVE BONES MAKING
SANDCASTLES.

 IT’S ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION

METHODS.ACCOMODATING TWIN PRINCIPAL FUNCTIONS OF THE BRIEF IN
HARMONY, WHERE INTERACTION IS ENCOURAGED IN A COMMON COURT,
THAT ALSO PROVIDES NUMEROUS EATING OPTION AND GIVES A GLIMPSE
OF THE EVENTS IN THE CULTURAL CENTRE. THE TOURISTS CAN OBTAIN
INFORMATION AND EXPLORE AROUND THE PUBLIC SPACES, WHILE GETTING
A GLIMPSE, AND PARTICIPATING SUBSEQUENTLY.

I WANT TO DESIGN THIS BECAUSE I FIND THIS CONCEPT TO BE VERY INTERESTING

AND UNIQUE UNLIKE ALL THE OTHER BEACH RESORTS, WHICH TEND TO PUT ALL
THEIR FOCUS INTO THE LUXURY AND COMFORT AND NOT ON THE CULTURAL
ASPECT OF THE PLACE, WHICH MAKES THE WHOLE IDEA OF VISITING A HOLIDAY
DESTINATION INCOMPLETE; I WANT TO DESIGN A RESORT WHICH PROVIDES THE
COMFORT AND THE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE OF THE DESTINATION WHICH WILL
HELP TOURISTS AND LOCALS ALIKE. AND DESIGN IT IN A TRADITIONAL GOAN
ARCHITECTURE STYLE WHICH EMBODIES ALL OF GOA AND IT'SCULTURE.
