How to create visually captivating exhibitions that offer an engaging and transformative exper ence for visitors

LOADING SOLUTION

We want to re-align people’s perspective about exhibitions by designing a virtual space where we maintain the essence of a physical one yet providing them an experience which is more than just a display using display of work. We are redefining the structure of the building into a Rubik’s Cube. The layers in a cube will be divided into different levels representing different departments at IIAD i.e IAD, CD, FD and FBM.

The Secret Garden, which, as its title indicates, is both incredibly secluded and hidden and, as a result, doesn’t get as much attention or footfall as it should. Therefore, because of the less footfall and human interaction, a lot of birds like peacock and kingfishers exist there. This area also comes under the micro habitat zone. I wanted to design something that would preserve the area’s seclusion and the presence of birds while also bringing attention to this beautiful location.

To boost human interaction with wildlife, I rebranded Secret Garden and introduced an open bird aviary. The aim was to raise awareness about the national bird, the peacock. I created an entertaining zone called Bird Chess, away from the pavilion to increase footfall and minimise disturbance to the birds. Additionally, I included a waiting area and bird information section inside the monument for birdwatchers to wait until the birds arrived.

SUNPATHDIAGRAM

The context and orientation is such that there is a lot of hinderance to daylight. Due to the trees over head and the bill boards in the front, there isn’t much day light to come in.

The skylight, entrance and the door for ventilation allows some light to enter.
