MONUMENTS, MEMORY AND RUINS

Re-interpretation of the City Museum 
Ahmedabad is renowned to be the first world heritage city. Its history, culture, architecture, trade and commerce, and association with the freedom movement make it to be called a World Heritage City. The multicultural architectural style found in many historic monuments, the settlements in old city-Pols, communities living together, and the urban settlements interweaved with the ancient settlements can be called the ‘living heritage’ of the city. The city as a whole is a museum and the idea from "CITY AS MUSEUM” TO “MUSEUMS A CITY”. Looking at the interpretation from “ Museum of the City” To “ Museum for the City”. Came up with a gesture of giving back to the city of what it’s been, what is it right now and how would it change to be the future. This gesture links up to the idea of “Celebrating Time”. The idea of what's past, present and what would future be, comes under the umbrella of change from time to time. This notion of time is being addressed in the new museum. Acknowledging the changes that time has brought in the city.  Click here for the extended portfolio
