3.3 Infrastructure According to Spatial Organisation
Figure 3.1 shows the area taken by a building on a given area of land. Although the
building covers the same area in all the three cases, the location chosen will influence
many things, inter alia:
(1) How the remaining area may or may not be developed in the future
(2) The visual aspect of the building on the given area
(3) How the users see external features from inside the building
(4) The location and layout of infrastructure services.
Before moving to the problem of infrastructure layout, it would be proper to go
through a few definitions which apply to the spatial organization relating to
buildings.
Figure 3.2 shows a building where the plot ratio is 0.25 because the building
footprint area covers one-quarter of the land area. The footprint is the actual area
covered by the building.
