This document discusses case studies of two industrial landscape sites - Eastman Business Park in Rochester, NY and Konabari Industrial Area in Gazipur, Bangladesh. For Eastman Business Park, the summary describes its history as a former Kodak facility and current tenants. Landscape elements like buildings, roads, and vegetation are organized in a cluster layout. Konabari Industrial Area faces issues like pollution from untreated waste and lack of environmental planning. Proposals to address these problems include establishing effluent treatment, green buffers, and wetlands to improve the local environment.

3. Introduction : Landscape of Industrial Areas
• The landscape of industry has been changing over time.
• The landscape treatment of industrial areas is concerned with
-being collectively beneficial due to mutual matter and energy exchanges
-with minimum negative impacts on the human and natural environment.
• can be obtained in various ways such as
-preserving existing vegetation
-planting species which are hardy and tolerant
-green belts and buffer zones for noise attenuation and reducing pollution
-discouraging use of bricks or concrete materials to allow natural infiltration of water
-other methods of reducing pollution. [1]

• Eastman Business Park, formerly Kodak Park, is
a large manufacturing and industrial complex
located in Rochester, New York, United States
• 1,200-acre office park and industrial complex
• Founded by George Eastman [2]

• Complementary scheme: complementary color set red (buildings) and green (green spaces) are
used in the whole area.
• Kodak building is differentiated by using white color.

15. Circulation
• Approach: oblique
• Configuration of the path- Network
• Path space relationship- Pass by spaces (link the path
with the spaces)
Case Study: Application of design and planning principles

16. Ordering principles
• Hierarchy: Tall chimney (366 feet) and the white Kodak building
• Repetition: Boilers, rows of trees, chimneys
• Unity: Unity by interconnection (roads and the buildings are interconnected with each other)

19. Case Study: Site Analysis
• Soil type: soil of this area is divided into two main layer [4]
Overburden Soil
Upper most Shale (Highly weathered and clay like)
Middle Shale (Less weathered)
Lower Shale (Dense and competent)
Rochester Shale (Underlying bedrock)

20. • Ground water: 2-8 feet below the ground surface [4]
• Existing condition:
Case Study: Site Analysis
 Railroad: 17 mile railroad
 Vehicular and pedestrian circulation: large parking space and interconnecting roads
 Buffer
 Security and site access: 24X7 operation at Eastman Business Park and across
Rochester
 Fire security: The Kodak Fire Department (KFD) is a 24X7 operation at Eastman
Business Park [3]

• Natural elements- River (Genesee)
• Human elements- Buildings, monuments, pipelines, smokestacks, boilers, roads
• Abstract elements- Lamp posts

22. Case Study: Application of landscape conservation principles
• Reducing direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gas – Installed boilers halved CO2 emissions
and reduced SO2 emissions to zero
• Increasing energy efficiency and minimizing use of non-renewable energy - heat from boilers and
smokestacks used to generate electricity
• Plenty of greenery
• Chemical exposure evaluation
• Air quality assessments
• Noise evaluations
• Dangerous Goods Transportation and Transportation Security guidance
• Soil and groundwater assessments
• Wastewater treatment plant - removes organic and inorganic pollutants [3]

• All the water quality parameters exceeded the prescribed limits set by local authority
• Increase water borne disease, skin diseases
• Decrease fish production and crops production [6]

28. Case Study in Bangladesh: Problems and Impacts
• Left fruit trees unproductive, croplands infertile
• Burning of tin and discolored of ornaments
• Increase mosquitoes
• Severe noise pollution and air pollution [6]

29. Case Study in Bangladesh: Proposals for solving the Existing Problems
EIA & ETP
Need to conduct Environment Impact
Assesment (EIA) and set up Effluent
Treatment Plant (ETP)
Produce renewable energy
Solid industrial waste can be used to
produce renewable energy
Figure-29: Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)

30. Case Study in Bangladesh: Proposals for solving the Existing Problems
Phytoremediation
Create Green belt around the
area with toxic heavy metal
absorbing plant such as Indian
mustard, Alfalfa, Cabage, Tall
fescue, Juniper, poplar trees,
Chinese brake fern,, spinach,
cauliflower, Sunflower, White
willow, oats [7].

31. Case Study in Bangladesh: Proposals for solving the Existing Problems
Water bodies
Water bodies with aquatic plants which absorb pollutant of waste water such as water hyacinth,
kolmilata, Colocasia, duck weed, helencha etc.
Figure-31: water hyacinth Figure-33: Duck weedFigure-32: Kolmilata

32. Use resilient materials
Walls and floors can be covered with resilient materials such as
felt, cork, glass wool, natural or synthetic rubber and steel
springs to mitigate noise pollution. Soft green wall also can be
used.
Use filter & buffer zone
Proper filter should be used in the brick kiln chimney for the
filtration of black smog. A buffer zone also can be established
to reduce both noise and air pollution.
