Abstract
An architectural structure comprises a core column structure (1), a plurality of recessed platform structures (2) vertically spaced apart from each other and supported by the column structure, and landfill filled in the recessed platform structures form plots. A water reticulation system moves through all the plots from a central water supply system. Dwellings (4) are built on the plots.
Claims24
An architectural structure comprising,
- at least one core column structure;
- a plurality of recessed platform structures successively extending operatively orthogonally from said column structure and supported thereby, said successive platform structures spaced apart vertically and horizontally from each other so that each of the platforms is adapted to receive adequate sunlight and ventilation independently and an unobstructed scenic view;
- landfill which includes an aggregate of stones, gravel, soil and clay, filled in said recesses of the recessed platforms to form plots;
- water reticulation systems provided in at least some of said platforms connected with each other and to a central water supply system, said water reticulation system including treatment plants for treatment of water after use at each plot and providing the treated water to a plot at an operatively lower level;
- access means, including staircases, escalators, roadways, ramps and lifts, connecting the plots with the ground level and with other plots;
- amenities/utilities provided to at least some of said plots, and
- a fencing provided around the plot of each platform, the fencing adapted to collect rain water and supply the collected rain water to the water reticulation system, the fencing having a series of flaps which at appropriate times can be folded or unfolded so that the fencing acts as a receptacle for rain water and feeds the collected rainwater to the water reticulation system, wherein the water reticulation system includes a perforated plate provided spaced apart from the base of the recess in said platform, forming a space between said plate and the recess for collection of the water percolated through the landfill;
- wherein each of said platforms is provided around the core column in the form of a petal formation and disposed at different elevated levels, each of the platforms being on a respectively different vertical level from the other platforms, each of the platforms being offset horizontally with respect to adjacent platforms, and each of the platforms being positioned in a superimposed relationship with another platform that is multiple levels apart from the respective platform.

A method of creating an architectural structure, said method comprising the steps of:
- constructing at least one column structure;
- constructing a plurality of recessed platform structures successively extending in an operative horizontal position from said column structure and supported thereby, said successive platform structures being spaced apart vertically and horizontally from each other so that each of the platforms is adapted to receive adequate sunlight and ventilation independently and an unobstructed scenic view;
- filling the recesses in said recessed platforms with a soil bed to form plots, wherein said soil is an aggregate of soil, clay, gravel and stones;
- constructing housing structures on at least some of said plots;
- providing a water reticulation system for at least some of said plots connecting water reticulation system in said plots to each other and to a central water supply system;
- recycling water after treatment and separation of solid waste from plot to plot and using the recycled water from a plot at a higher level, at a plot at a relatively lower level;
- providing means to access said plots from the ground level and from other plots;
- providing amenities/utilities to at least some of said plots;
- and
- providing a fencing around the plot of each platform, the fencing adapted to collect rain water and supply the collected rain water to the water reticulation system, the fencing having a series of flaps which at appropriate times can be folded or unfolded so that the fencing acts as a receptacle for rain water and feeds the collected rainwater to the water reticulation system, wherein the water reticulation system includes a perforated plate provided spaced apart from the base of the recess in said platform, forming a space between said plate and the recess for collection of the water percolated through the landfill;
- wherein each of the platforms is on a respectively different vertical level from the other platforms, each of the platforms being offset horizontally with respect to adjacent platforms, and each of the platforms being positioned in a superimposed relationship with another platform that is multiple levels apart from the respective platform.
