This project aims to counter museum fatigue by understanding its sources and evaluating remedies. It provides a novel approach to interpreting history, emphasizing the contemporary importance of cultural learning and exchange in today’s influential cultural landscape. Incorporating cutting-edge technology to enrich the museum experience is pivotal, given its role as a conduit for this evolution.

To assess the spatial layout of intelligent museums using digital advancements, the project seeks effective strategies for fully harnessing their potential. Aligned with Jaipur’s ambition to nurture creativity and honour its heritage, the project embodies the forward-looking spirit of its founder, Sawai Jai Singh II. Through leveraging its cultural legacy, Jaipur aspires to advance into a forward-looking city, offering a living heritage that seamlessly integrates past and contemporary arts and culture.

Named “HAVELI,” this habitat of audio-visualized legacy immersion captures this essence. Rooted in tradition yet guided by innovation, it creates a microcosm enabling an authentic experience of the city’s essence. The project’s meticulous design harmonizes with the site’s context, echoing the architectural brilliance it houses. The space engages boldly yet serenely, probing the enigma of human existence while blending seamlessly with its surroundings, effectively tackling urban challenges.

In the heart of India’s cultural diversity, a unique project blends martial arts, Ayurveda, and meditation for holistic well-being. This endeavour creates a harmonious fusion of Kalarippayattu’s vitality, Ayurvedic healing, and mindfulness. The design meticulously choreographs comfort through natural ventilation, bridging tradition and innovation. Nestled in Asare village, the site’s natural beauty aligns with the project’s ethos. Courtyards, earth tunnels, and thoughtful materials contribute to the eco-friendly design. A rainwater garden and water conservation efforts enrich the village. Ultimately, the project seamlessly weaves together heritage and nature for a transformative experience.


Amidst the land where rivers flow,
A project’s tale begins to grow.
Harmonizing form and function’s grace,
Crafting thermal realms in nature’s embrace.


With sensitivity to land’s contour,
A vision that’s true, forevermore.
Materials chosen, both wise and old,
Stories of the past, they softly unfold.


Ventilation dances in nature’s hand,
A choreography of breezes, oh so grand.
No machines, just whispers of air,
In this mindful design, they all share.


A climate-responsive form takes flight,
Nurturing comfort from morning to night.
River nearby, respected in every glance,
A symbiotic relationship, they enhance.


Cleaner environment, a gift to bestow,
Where harmony and purpose eternally flow.
In this project’s embrace, nature and art,
A tapestry woven, a masterpiece’s start.

Memories, emotions, and spaces are all interconnected in our lives. But what about the person whose memory is fading and therefore finds it uncomfortable to live in an environment that is not conducive to them? This is true for people with dementia.

Architecture can play an important role in the lives of people with dementia. The design of buildings and spaces can enable or hinder our ability to navigate, communicate and engage with our environment.

So, there are other ways to create an environment for them and protect their dignity by showing the spectrum of designed spaces beyond the physical realm. Project focused on studying the impact of dementia-friendly architecture to create a supportive and empowering environment for people with dementia so that they can live with dignity and independence for as long as possible.

Design includes:

• Giving people with dementia a sense of community

• Maintaining quality of life in progressive dementia

• Environmental cues that highlight different spaces.

• Flexible design features that facilitate individual lifestyle continuity, facilitate memory, allow for changes in people’s needs and reactions.

• Different settings and features of interest

• Discreet security features that support freedom while reducing risk to a level acceptable to employees and families.

In modern times children are getting into mobile and iPad more, whereas to create space for kids to play and explore without gadgets. A place where kids and adults are engaged in activities, & play some games. Young children do not get enough opportunities to explore without interference or interruption. We need to correct that unfortunate trend, giving them space and materials to let their instincts as learners take over as they physically explore their world. It’s what they do naturally and unfortunately what is being inhibited with increasing frequency.


The museum aims to be a place to collect and present old and new toys in some creative and contemporary ways but still keep the unique traditional toys.


Moreover, this project is also designed to be the place where kids enjoy modern toys and the parents enjoy toys from their era and simultaneously to provide interactive areas for children as well as parents.

“Architectural Design should permute climate salvation to human solidarity”


Climate disruption is an emergency and collective accountability, that must be responded to accordingly. A solution to climate change requires long-term planning.


Climate Museum is proposed for the relevant, dynamic experience of climate variability and the earth’s emotions. Design mitigates climate change as adaptive and retrofits the existing topography. The inner character of the building; to see, observe and experience the global change is reflected in its outer appearance.


The proposed design is hatched beyond aesthetic elements of sophisticated complexity, design stands out for experiencing spaces and what climate change offers us in an intangible way. Museum is designed in consideration with the climate context of Pune city. Five galleries are tendered to portray major effects of climate change. Nature’s Womb illustrates the importance of trees. Tunnel Of Pollution escapades the industrial revolution and its adverse effects. The Green Water set forth emotions of an unbalanced aqua ecosystem. The Desert delineates desertification and exhibits its sequel, land without soul. Melting Hall exhibits glacier melting due to global warming.


The aim of Museum is to array seriousness of climate change and its effects, from awareness of the present to the future.
