Our modern world is exhibiting changing conditions and dynamic innovations. An iconic and inspirational built form is a balance of creativity, innovation, and practicality, as well as an understanding of the context and the needs of the people who will use the building. The study of project aims in creating flexible spaces and programs that are adaptable and spontaneous. The fluidity of architecture also enhances circulation and creates an interrelationship of the building to the city. The main motive is to create adaptable spaces for cruise terminal with the help of computational tools. It allows to create and simulate different design options quickly and efficiently. With computational design tools , testing and exploration of various design considerations like layout, space utilization, circulation and environmental factors can be done.
Given this, the Ministry of Shipping & Ports has proposed the Cruise Terminal in the scenic port of Goa. With its strategic location and proximity to the international waterways, it has the potential to become the most preferred cruising destination globally. The Port Trust of Mormugao has thus begun planning a project to build and develop a new International Cruise Terminal and public plaza to meet the increasing volume of foreign visitors.
The project aims to comply with the design requirements which are according to international standards and design a structure with functionality, iconicity, accessibility, and sustainability as a single entity. Also, it inclines to have facilities for the Ferry terminal and supporting spaces for both Terminals there will be facilities for Ancillary spaces. As of existing site does not facilitates any para - transit facilities within the range of 6 kilometers, it also focuses to comply with the project requirement of having Paratransit facilities for Buses and taxis.
An organic building form is a design approach that creates visually striking and memorable buildings that stand out from their surroundings. These unique and aesthetically pleasing buildings can become iconic landmarks that inspire people and evoke emotions. Blended columns can be aesthetically efficient for organic buildings by providing a customizable and visually interesting solution that integrates with the natural surroundings and serves as a form of artistic expression. A central approach in the site can improve accessibility, efficient use of space, design cohesiveness, crowd control, and visitor experience. Good ground manipulation at a cruise terminal for paratransit facilities prioritize accessibility, safety, and ease of movement for passengers. To make each part operate individually, and innovatively support the structure by separate base points. To embed and melt the project within the context by considering all possible articulated relationships such as topography and landscape stretching them to go seamlessly with the site landscape.
