Lal Bahadur Shastri Museum – Jaipur

Location
Jaipur, Rajasthan

The basic planning of the museum is designed by composing two blocks in the site in such a way which divides the functions of the space. The two blocks are connected by beautifully designed series of arches constructed by exposed brick by adding of pergola on the top with the idea of dramatizing the play of light. The concept is to move away from the preconceived notion of institutional museum by bringing it down to human scale. The circulation of the space was designed by keeping in mind the hierarchy of spaces from open to transit to semi open to closed space. The structure is constructed by using basic materials like Manglore tiles on the sloping roof and the stones locally sourced from Jaipur.
