DESIGN QUESTION

How can we rethink the museum as an expansive, dynamic and mobile space? A museum which can explore its temporality and flexibility with space and time?

DESIGN INTENTION

With the primary motive of mobility the design aims to expand the knowledge about the history of Nallasopara. Starting from different schools in Nallasopara, the mobile museum shifts from one school to another by locating itself into open spaces of the respective schools. Various mediums and methods such as audio visual, workshop and exhibition are included to assist the learning. Through the display of history and collective working the museum can also act as an urban move to bring the communities of Nallasopara together.

Mobile/Temporary museum
The primary module of the design is a hexagonal unit. The hexagonal units are deployed to be assembled with respect to different site conditions

The museum has the following programs:

1. A History exhibit area

2. An audio visual corner where through the help of video kiosks children will learn about different history-related stories.
