    SYNOPSIS:

    MUSEUM
    ARCHITECTURE

    BY GOPIKA THAPLYAL
    4TH YEAR B.ARCH
    INTRODUCTION:
    A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and
    other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes
    them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or
    temporary .Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and
    specialists to serving the general public. Museum architecture has been of
    increasing importance over the centuries, especially more recently. The continuing
    acceleration in the digitization of information, combined with the increasing
    capacity of digital information storage, is causing the traditional model of
    museums (i.e. as static “collections of collections” of three-dimensional
    specimens and artifacts) to expand to include virtual exhibits and high-resolution
    images of their collections for perusal, study, and exploration from any place with
    Internet. The purpose of modern museums is to collect, preserve, interpret, and
    display items of cultural, artistic, or scientific significance for the education of the
    public.

    AIM:
    To establish emerging design concepts in planning, design, exhibition, technology
    and form in museum architecture.

    OBJECTIVE:
     To trace the history of the museums in the world and establishment of
    museums in India.

     To define various types of museums in the light of the role they play and
    study their organization and infrastructure.

     To list the factors which govern effective museum design keeping in mind
    the nature of the museum.

     To study architectural expression of the museum


    NEED OF THE STUDY:
    The museums are very important institution of the society and have come along a
    long way from time when they were merely private collections of the elite or
    treasure houses for the preservation of art and culture heritage of mankind.
    Today in addition to preservation museums have many more responsibilities
    especially in spheres of culture and education. Present modern museums basically
    depends on multiplicity of function, expansion and diversification of exhibited
    material, conservation, flexibility, expressive form and multimedia.as museums
    have evolved amazingly all over the world there is a need of evolution and design
    of museums in Indian context.

    SCOPE AND LIMITATION:


    There are various types of museums. I will cater to museum architecture in general,
    aspects like transitional spaces, lighting, circulation and exhibition will be
    discussed.

    However this dissertation will not be specific on any typology of museum but in
    terms of what makes a museum work efficiently.

    METHODOLOGY:
    1. The study will be based on literature available on the subject in books, journals,
    research documents and the internet.
    2. The reports of periodic seminars held on the subject will also be studied from
    the institutional libraries.
    3. Museum designs will be studied all over the world.
    4. Case studies will be done of practical examples of landscapes already
    implemented within and outside the country. These will be -
    i. National museum, New delhi
