Traces of the past, echoed in the present, an impact on the future.
The overarching experiential design proposes a human-centric approach to align with the masterplan’s holoarchy intent of connection. In articulating the experiential value of each identified touchpoint opportunity, MORKI’s transient space takes the cue from the iconic Narmada River, Gujarat’s everyday materiality, and the location’s sun faces. That gave form to the Hall of Unity and shaped a soothing sensorial-driven journey as a present-day tribute from the present to the past. Oculus in form, it signifies an endless appreciation to all leaders that have found and sustained India’s independence. In the same sensual grandeur, the light central axis allows natural light to curate the atmosphere.
With a future-forward mentality, GVM’s Siddhi Gallery proposes transforming convention museum experiences into one that carries the edutaining spirit. The gallery is spatially planned to house 11 subcategories that are grounded by objective pillars, distilled from bottom-up understanding. Designed as a collective empowering journey, the environmental design aligns with content delivery for a message that sticks, and ultimately, cumulates to behavioural advocacy for Gujarat.
