About the project
The KHB Trust in an endeavor to rejuvenate a 5 acres unused park in Bangalore adjacent to their existing institute has proposed to create a museum & auditorium, simultaneously landscaping the park to make a public space.
The gently contoured site is entered by an access road on the southern side sloping down towards the north with 2 small existing ponds. The landscape proposal links these two ponds creating a small waterfront on the northern perimeter of the site with stepped platforms imbibed from the ‘Stepped Ghats’ that are famous in the region of site’s location.
The museum & auditorium along with a large cafeteria are sited on the south east corner of the site orienting all the spaces towards the landscaped areas on the north & thereby reducing heat gain in a location that has temperatures in excess of 30°C most of the year.
