1. GLOBAL AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM, GREATER NOIDA
SUBMITTED BY: RAKTIM SAHA ROLL NO.: 26/AR/09 INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE, H.N.G.U, PATAN

2. INTRODUCTION:
WHY MUSEUM?
•One man’s Trash may be other man’s treasure.
•They are built to collect, document, preserve interpret and exhibit some form of material evidence.
•A museum is a centre where people when visit can connect themselves to the past. Well a past in connection in details.
•The moment a neglected thing, substance etc. goes into a collection followed by showcasing and displaying of it, it enters a new and different category. A connection with any famous personalities can make any invaluable and make people imagine something invisible.
•It is showcases the heritage and contribution of the place as well country. WHY AUTOMOBILE?
•Fan following (Buddh International Circuit, Car Rallies, Vintage Car Shows/ Race, Auto Expo, Metro City etc.)
•No place to combine and see the above mentioned under one roof/venue.
•No place to nurture and inculcate talent who are interested in this field.
•There are various rallies, competitions held and many more. My purpose is to club it together and make consumers/ buyers/viewers etc. view it at one place with other activities.
•Make people aware that excessive use of transportation might impact environment and connecting to the human life cycle.
NEED FOR THE PROJECT:
•New Delhi hosts Annual Auto Expo once in two years. Pragati Maidan was the shortlisted venue for the this annual Expo, it has now been shifted to India Expo Mart, greater Noida due to improper management of human resources and crowd too. The viewers as well as the common businessman get to see it for few days. People don’t get enough exposure to view their products and observe the competitors properly. Also due to lack of awareness and more of crowd, the waiting seems endless which leads to less interaction space and time.
•A place/it can be a place or hub where automobile enthusiastic can become an integral part of this place. For example exploring new sectors of this field like Racing, Exhibitions, Seminars, and Conference etc.
•A tourist as well as business attraction spot that will help in enhancing job opportunities by inviting investors and tourist, being located in a metropolitan city.

SITE WITH CONTEXT

6. CASE STUDY: BMW
The BMW Museum presents more than 90 years of BMW heritage in all its facets with a diversity of different exhibition areas. The key aspects typical of BMW are integrated in seven thematic blocks. These seven thematic blocks determine the architecture in the low building - the new part of the BMW Museum: An independent house was originated for each thematic block.
Unique and innovative.
The museum architecture, and exhibition and media design form an ideal setting to present the rich tapestry of themes in a very special way. The BMW Museum takes new approaches by integrating contemporary architecture with the historic buildings in the same way as the brand is always setting new and innovative benchmarks for engineering and design.
A central visitors’ ramp in the bowl connected a system of seemingly hovering platforms. The interpretation of the ramp as a road and the exhibition areas as squares became integrated into the neighboring flat building in the new conception of the Museum

7. CASE STUDY: PORCHE
The building designed by Delugan Meissl is a bold statement. Supported on just three V-shaped columns, the museum’s dominant main structure seems to float above the ground like a monolith.
This bold and dynamic architecture reflects the company’s philosophy.
The glazed main façade of the 23 metre high museum adorned with the Porsche logo faces north, greeting those heading into the city centre by car. The architect has succeeded in creating an eye- catching complex that nevertheless blends well into its overall setting.
It is designed to convey a sense of reception and approachability in order to welcome visitors in a friendly manner.
The building visibly translates the dynamic nature of the Porsche brand into architecture. From every angle, the shapes of the monolith and base building look different thanks to their polygonal, avant garde forms and the variation in the structures and windows.

8. CASE STUDY: MERCEDES
• The Museum provides us the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand, it also affords illuminating insights into the future.
• This dual function is also reflected in the architecture of the Mercedes- Benz Museum, designed by the UN Studio of Dutch architects van Berkel and Bos, Amsterdam.
• The building’s interior is inspired by the double helix structure of the DNA spiral that carries the human genome.
• Explore our automotive icons on nine levels and 16,500 square metres of floor space in chronologically arranged Legend rooms or themed Collection rooms that span every era of recent history.

9. THREE DIMENSIONAL VIEW
• The design intends to blend the antique car shows with the public recreational space in order to break the barrier between higher-class and general public.
• The preparation process for car exhibits is open for viewing by general public. This museum intends to be an urban catalyst which transforms the small – group car show activity into public urban events.
• All of the circular voids enable the penetration of natural light into each levels, and stimulate an interesting dialogue between car exhibits and natural environment.
