The site is in Paithan, a small town famous for its textile ( Paithani saree). It is a tourist attraction and so, the design intent was to create a textile museum, which allows visitors to know about the history of the Paithani saree and the textile manufacturing process, and the machinery required.
Gallery spaces are all about showcasing the work which is in a large amount. The connectivity between these varied spaces becomes very important to make the public connect with the work which is displayed. The Idea I started working with is to create a Central core to a built, and connectivity between spaces where all the spaces revolve around the central core. The visual connectivity gets created through the core which is an open sky courtyard. The expanse becomes much more transparent and flexible, which will keep the spectator connected throughout the space.
As to achieve such a space. I started placing the program from the ground floor to the third floor in a criss-cross manner, which allows the viewer to keep eye on any floor from any floor .
