The Harmony of Enclosure and Openness

Nestled behind the Atak Gate, this archaeological museum offers an immersive journey through history and culture. Its design features a continuous wall extending from the historic fort, enclosing the space while incorporating courtyards and columns that connect the building to its surrounding environment. As one explores, each courtyard offers a moment of pause, shaded space, enriched with cultural exhibits, while galleries reveal Champaner's history through tactile and interactive displays. The interplay between open courtyards and enclosed spaces creates a dynamic journey, guiding visitors through diverse environments. Each space, from the amphitheater to the café, balances enclosure and openness, blending architecture, nature, and heritage into a dynamic, immersive experience.
