Eternal Gandhi Museum
Client: Mahatma Gandhi Library
Location: Houston, TX
Project Size: 12,900 SF
Contribution: Project Designer
Project Type: New Construction
Completion Year: 2023
Architecture Firm: RDLR Architects
ABOUT
The Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston (EGMH) stands as a synthesis of architectural inspiration and social impact. Inspired by the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, the museum’s design transcends mere aesthetics, embracing the ethos of economic self-sufficiency and nonviolent protest embodied by the Charkha spinning wheel. At the heart of the museum, a life-sized bronze statue of Gandhi presides over a Charkha, its radial spokes mirrored in the pavement joints that weave throughout the building establishing the structural grid. Collaborating with the team on this project was not only fun but extremely rewarding, from coordinating minor details like electrical boxes in the concrete benches to aiding in the design of the historical figure murals.
