 1.1 INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT
1.1.a UNDERSTANDING AEROTROPOLIS….
Major airports have become key nodes in global production and enterprise systems offering them speed, agility, and connectivity. They are
also powerful engines of local economic development, attracting aviation-linked businesses of all types to their environs.
These include, among others, time-sensitive manufacturing and distribution facilities:-
HOTEL
RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT
 RETAIL AND SHOPPING ARCADES
CONVENTION CENTRES
TRADE AND EXHIBITION COMPLEXES
LOGISTIC USES & OFFICE BUILDINGS
The rapid expansion of airport-linked commercial facilities is making today's air gateways anchors of 21st century
metropolitan development where distant travellers and locals alike can conduct business, exchange knowledge,
shop, eat, sleep, and be entertained without going more than 15 minutes from the airport.
Aerotropolis consists of an airport city and outlying corridors and clusters of aviation-linked businesses and
associated residential development.
Number of these clusters such as Amsterdam Zuidas, Las Colinas, Texas, and South Korea's Songdo 1
International Business District have become globally significant airport edge-cities representing planned
postmodern urban mega-development in the age of the Aerotropolis.

1.1.b FIVE STAR HOTEL CUM EXPOSITION CENTRE AT MOHALI AEROTROPOLIS…

HOTEL
A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. The provision of basic 2
accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand
has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms and air
conditioning or climate control.
EXPOSITION CENTRE:
•An expo. center is a large building that is designed to hold a trade fair &convention, 3
where individuals and groups gather to promote and share common interests. Expo 1. Amstradam
centers typically offer sufficient floor area to accommodate several thousand attendees. aerotropolis

Thought behind proposing Aerotropolis…
“MOHALI-FACE OF DEVELOPING PUNJAB”
• On a macro – economic level airports are the economic engines accelerating growth and
prosperity.
• Efficient, economically viable and environmentally sustainable international gateway
will encourage and drive local, national and regional economic development and
prosperity.
• They provide a region with the ability to attract corporations that rely on time-sensitive
manufacturing, e-commerce fulfillment, and telecommunications. At the same time,
they provide related communities with an international business presence, an increase
in tourism, an increase in jobs covering the various sectors, aviation related and increase
in local material purchases and local spending.
Supporting the aerotropolis, various projects are also proposed which will
complete the aerotropolis as sub city and lead to the “smart growth” which
should go hand in hand

 2. THEORETICAL STUDY
AEROTROPOLIS
An Aerotropolis is an urban plan in which the layout, infrastructure, and economy is
centred around an airport, existing as an airport city. It is similar in form and function to
a traditional metropolis, which contains a central city core and its commuter-
linked suburbs.
Airports offer connectivity to suppliers, customers, and enterprise partners worldwide.
Some of the businesses around airports are even more dependent on distant suppliers or
customers than on those located nearby. The Aerotropolis encompasses a range of
commercial facilities supporting both aviation-linked businesses and the millions of air
travellers who pass through the airport annually.
There are basically two basic forms evolved in Aerotropolis:
•On- terminal(shopping arcades, retails, food courts, in flight hotels etc
•Off- terminal
COMPONENTS OF OFF- TERMINAL FORM
• hotels, retail outlets, entertainment complexes and
exhibition centres; and offices
• industries related to time-sensitive manufacturing
• Logistics uses and tele communication
• e-commerce fulfilment
LOGISTICS:
• Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and
the point of destination in order to meet some requirements, for example of customers
or corporations. logistics can include physical items such as food, materials, equipment,
liquids, and staff as well as abstract items such as information, particles, and energy.
• Logistics contains the integrated planning, control, realization, and monitoring of all
internal and network-wide material-, part- and product flow 13
THEORETICAL STUDY
 AIRPORT LOGISTIC PARK:
Airport Logistics Park is an industrial park created to support activities related to trade
and air cargo at airport. Generally it comes under off- terminal activities
Logistic park contains number of storage units and may be categorized as:
• Container units
• Storage units
• Truck terminals
• Godowns
• Warehouses
AIR CARGO VILLAGE
• Growth in air freight traffic and the advent of inter-modalism has brought to the
fore the necessity of developing air cargo complexes or air cargo villages.
• These services may include package sorting, consolidation, warehousing,
distribution, trade services, communications system, and other related services.
Depending on the volume of freight handled and markets served, air cargo villages
can be categorised according to their global,national, regional, or state significance.

THEORETICAL STUDY
 BASIC AEROTROPOLIS PLANNING PRINCIPLES
The Aerotropolis planning model seeks to reinforce the benefits of both global and local by bringing
together airport planning, urban planning, and business site planning in a synergistic manner so that
the airport region is more economically efficient, attractive, and sustainable. The basic principles are:-
• businesses should be steered to locate in proximity to the airport based on frequency of their use of
the airport, reducing highway travel and congestion.
• form-based codes should establish design standards for airport area structures, travel lanes, and
public spaces.
• mixed-use residential communities housing airport area workers should be located outside aircraft
noise contours but offering short commutes

INTEGRATED AEROTROPOLIS PLANNING:

• Ground transportation planning • Master planning
• Land use planning • Traffic generation
• Environmental impact • Facility and infrastructure
assessments planning

•Investment planning and risk analysis

•Regional positioning and marketing
•Cluster analysis
• Minimizing the needed ground movement. With the increase in especially business air travel, airports have
become an important part of the metropolitan movement equation.
• land use and transportation planning need to be fully coordinated.
• Airport access corridors should provide interpretable paths that welcome residents and visitors and lead them to
their destinations.
• Aerotropolis planning is urban planning, including the provision of appropriate public space that encourages
social interaction. 15

 FIVE STAR LUXURY HOTEL
HOTEL RATING
•The ratings on the outside of the building are based on an objective facilities and services
provided assessment and are not in anyway related to ambiance, charm or other subjective
criteria.
•With the aim of providing contemporary standards of facilities and services available in
the hotels, the Ministry of Tourism has formulated a voluntary scheme for classification of
operational hotels which will be applicable to the following categories:

STAR CATEGORY HOTELS:

• 1-STAR: These hotels are small and usually managed and operated by the owner.
• 2-STARS: These hotels are generally part of a chain that offers consistent quality and
limited amenities. They are small or medium in size and rooms will have a phone and TV.
• 3-STARS: These hotels are usually located next to major expressways, business centres or
shopping areas. They offer spacious rooms and decorative lobbies.
• 4-STARS: One can expect formal and large hotels with excellent facilities. Above-average
service, beautifully furnished rooms, restaurants, room service, valet parking, fitness
centre and a concierge are some amenities to expect.
• 5-STARS/5-STAR DELUXE:
•Well-established prestige hotels are usually content to claim the traditional five.
•Quality, Service and Consistency are all that count for the rating of a hotel. These
must be of superior quality and high standard.

OTHER CATEGORIES OF HOTEL

• CITY CENTRE: include luxury, convention and city tourist hotels. Characterized by high plot ratio, high rise
construction, frequently large function accommodation, inclusion of shops.
• MOTOR HOTELS: cater mainly for people en route by car or motorizing locally
• AIRPORT HOTELS: similar planning to motor hotels but catering specifically for air travelers
• RESORT HOTELS: at seaside or mountain resorts or spas. Usually planned to cater for package holidays 18

several activities. The plan of the typical hotel room shows these several zones:
• SLEEPING
• RELAXING
• WORKING
• ENTERTAINING
• DRESSING
GUEST ROOM FLOOR PLANNING OBJECTIVES

Ista Amritsar has kept elegance as its guiding design philosophy. Set in the heart of the
city yet with beautiful landscaping that includes several water bodies SITE CONSTRAINT
• Due to site area constraint(2.5 acre) building was restricted to expand horizontally so
vertical planning was only desirable option that led to the building to go 12 story high
• The form of the building suits best to the site characteristics and form
• Suites towers are placed such that maximum no. of room gets the view of old city.

•Capital Gate's 19th storey outdoor swimming pool has an unrivalled panoramic view.
•Cantilevered tea lounge overhangs the tower’s exterior, 80m above the ground.
ENERGY EFFICENCY
• Capital Gate’s double-glazed façade achieves greater energy efficiency with waste air
being pre-cooled between the inner and outer façades, before being expelled.
• The tower’s façade glass is of low emissivity. It keeps the building’s interior cool and
eliminates glare, while maintaining transparency.
• Stainless steel ‘splash’ that descends from the 19th floor, is a design element and a
shading device that eliminates over 30 percent of the sun’s heat before it reaches the
building.
• The splash also twists around the building towards the south to shield the tower as
much as possible from direct sunlight.

Capital Gate’s shell comprises a strong exoskeleton called diagrid that carries all the weight of the
floors while also
