Architecture can be traced in history since the beginning of civilization. It is an ancient discipline
and the results of its thinking and endeavor provide us with some of the most lasting examples of
our culture. Our monuments, cities, and village speak of our culture over the longest span of
time. Yet, the representation of architecture and its role in our society has not flowered. To
bridge this gap in understating between the profession and society, a National Museum of
Architecture is needed. The designed museum should provide spatial variety and inspire a sense
of visual excitement, thus contributing to the overall concept of entertainment and learning.

The document discusses using multimedia in museums in several ways:
1. Multimedia can provide orientation information for visitors through interactive kiosks near entrances that overview the exhibition.
2. It can serve as a visitor guide within galleries through distributed access points that provide additional learning support.
3. Multimedia exhibits can act as explainers by illustrating essential points about exhibition content through clear storylines and easy-to-use interfaces.
4. Advanced technologies can create emotive triggers through virtual reality and simulations to heighten visitor interest.
5. Multimedia is best isolated from galleries when unrelated to content or disruptive, but can enhance experiences when directly relevant and non-intrusive.
This document discusses how museums can better understand and meet visitor needs and expectations. It summarizes that visitor motivations for visiting museums are diverse, including seeing it as a family outing, fulfilling an interest or hobby, or seeking an educational experience. Research shows visitors spend less time than museums assume exploring exhibits and don't always understand themes or start at the beginning. New types of interpretation using technology and interactive elements can help deepen engagement. Understanding visitor backgrounds, behaviors, and what museums are asking of them can help create exhibitions that better serve diverse audiences.
Signage refers to visual graphics that display information to an audience. Signs come in various forms and sizes depending on their location and purpose, ranging from banners and billboards to street signs.

This document provides guidance on site planning, landscaping, and stormwater management for federal facilities. It discusses selecting sites that reduce automobile dependence and avoid disrupting wildlife or cultural resources. Proper site planning is important for energy efficiency and should include thorough site surveys. Parking lots and driveways should be planned to reduce heat absorption. Landscaping should use native and drought-resistant plants, efficient irrigation, and harvested rainwater or wastewater. Stormwater management aims to infiltrate water on-site through porous pavement and vegetation rather than piping it off-site, to reduce pollution and flooding while recharging groundwater.
Intelligent buildings are buildings that through their physical design and IT installations are responsive, flexible and adaptive to changing needs from its users and the organizations that inhabit the building during its life time.

This document discusses pneumatic structures, which are membrane structures supported by air pressure. It defines pneumatic structures as membranes carrying loads through tensile stresses and stabilized by prestressing the membrane through external forces or internal pressurization. The document then covers the origins of pneumatic structures, how they work, their key characteristics like being lightweight and flexible, different types including air-supported and air-inflated, materials used, and historical uses.
Form active structure systems utilize curved structures like arches to carry loads across gaps primarily through compression. Arches distribute loads through their curved shape, reducing stresses compared to rigid connections. Key factors in arch design include the rise-to-span ratio to minimize thrust, and the shape which affects cost, stresses, and load distribution. Arches can fail through rotation, sliding at supports, or crushing under high compression, and are reinforced or redesigned to address failure modes. Early arched structures gained stability through added weight and convenient construction shapes, while Gothic cathedrals demonstrated advanced vaulting techniques.

It includes all the buildings serving the devotional, ritualistic and religious functions of the Sikh Community. We can spot any Sikh temple from distance by seeing a flag mast (Nishan Sahib) which is draped in yellow or blue with triangular flag with the Sikh insignia fluttering in the breeze. Its dome is different from domes of mosques or Hindu temples, so are its arches, balconies, columns, interiors and general layout.
Uttam Chand Jain is an Indian architect born in 1934 who received honors from IIT Kharagpur in 1958. He established his own practice in 1961 and has designed many institutional, commercial, and residential buildings. His designs reflect the local heritage and use local materials like sandstone. Some of his notable projects include the Jodhpur University campus buildings and the Indira Gandhi Institute of Research and Development which feature courtyard planning and minimize heat through thick walls. He emphasizes contextually appropriate designs and minimizing the use of steel and cement.

Arch is a curved structure designed to carry loads across a gap mainly by compression. The mechanical principle of the arch is precisely the same as that of the portal frame. The straight pieces of material joined by sharp bends are smoothed into a continuous curve. This increases the cost of construction but greatly reduces the stresses.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
1. INTRODUCTION
• A museum is an institution which assembles, studies and conserves the
objects, in order to set them before public for communication and knowledge
supported by them.
• The true conception of a museum is an institution with educational uses.
• The principle is presentation i.e. to exhibit the objects belonging to the
collection.
• Visual and tactile experience is used to sharpen the encounter between the
object and the observer.
• Hence also serve as an inspiration for personal growth.
• The success of museums depend on three circumstances:
Firstly, their connection with modern ideas of progress and evolution.
Secondly, their optimistic approach for authenticity.
Thirdly, their aim of reflecting history on basis of documents .
• They present natural phenomena, technology innovations and scientific ideas.
• The experience motivates children and adults to become more inquisite.
2. ENTRANCE HALL
• There must be only one public entrance, placed quite separately from the others.
• It should be attractive even to the casual passes and should interest them.
• It should provide an easy introduction to the visitor from outside.
• There should be adequate museum service zones in which packages are left, guide
books, notices are displayed and security checks carried out.
• The entrance acts an transition area, they help to the eyes to adapt to the eye
level difference.
• A social gathering place.
• An orientation space.
• The size of the entrance hall varies on
The number of visitors.
Architectural expression of the place.
Functions for the space.
• Functions of the entrance hall are:
Cloak Room: For placing visitor’s baggage for security reasons.
Enquiry and Sales Counter
Lobby Space
3. EXHIBITION SPACES
• The main objective of displaying exhibits is to get their message across the visitors.
• The gallery must create an environment conductive for the purpose.
• The spatial character of the gallery must provide a spontaneous and unconscious
stimulus.
• The visitor must be able to have an overall view of the space and should be able to
locate himself in relation to some known point.
• The general principles considered while designing shall be:
People enjoy surprises and visual excitement.
Change in scale, lighting and layout make the journey short.
People are curious in nature, hence crowds and queue attracts them.
• Paths: Routes of movement.
• Spaces left between exhibits can be channelised by screens.
• Relationship between path and object determines viewing sequence.
• Edges: the linear elements and boundaries between paths. An edge defines,
separates yet brings out cohesion.
• District: points of reference which remain external and unlike nodes are not
entered.
May be equally distant objects or small signs that give clue of position.
These are sections which can be grasped mentally, provide pause and make each
section more graspable.
4. EXHIBITION SPACES
• Nodes: These are focal points where paths converge and these act as a hub of
activity.
• Pictorial Walk Through: While moving through a gallery or planning door
openings, it should be considered that a visual continuity is ensured –as you
some out of the gallery, something interesting must invite you.
• Giving the Eye Rest: Exhibits in a gallery must be sensitively placed so as to
attract the attention of the viewer.
In an observation, the eye stars off at the top and sees everything they can.
Soon they begin to tire and select, in self defense they cease to observe
aggressive colours and strange shapes.
Hence, the familiar shapes like the disc, the ring, the square and the
rectangular
are easily seen and held in vision.
Hence, to make sure that the visitor does not lose his initial elation, it is
essential to have more rest than movement in the general design pattern.
5. EXHIBITION SPACES
Pacing :
• Pacing is the means of both reducing mental fatigue and physical fatigue.
• They result from object satiation, disorientation, lack of contrast as well as
discomfort.
• Pacing is achieved by:
Visual Relationship of Spaces: Allow simultaneous view of spaces to create a
sequence of serial viewing to provide easy orientation.
Relief Areas: If the visitor walks through a number of galleries at a stretch
then he tends to lose interest.
Contrast and Diversity of Spaces: Variety in spatial character prevents
monotony and stimulates the spirit of enquiry.
After every couple of galleries there should be visual and physical areas to
keep the visitor alert for further communication with the exhibits.
6. EXHIBITION SPACES
• The Viewing:
• The first and foremost criteria is seeing
• Pacing is the means of both reducing mental and physical fatigue.
7. CIRCULATION
• Owing to their communicative and imprehensive nature, visitors can easily
acknowledge and comprehend models.
• The circulation of a space establish the sequence of its sensed realization.
• The space is judge by the flow of impressions .
• When in motion one sees a image of series blending into an espanding visual
realization of objects, sense and space.
• The three main group of circulation are:
Public Circulation: Both for visitors and students.
good and exhibits circulation.
Administrative Circulation.
• Ideally the visitor entering the museum should sense the disposition of public
services exhibits with minimum help from signs and displays.
• Reception facilities should be visible from the entrance and then the
architecture should lead the way.
• Non exhibits area should be next to the entrance.
8. MICRO-LEVEL
• Controlled Circulation :when the exhibits have a story to tell in a
definite sequence, the only to ensure that every body sees everything is
through controlled circulation.
• People are not offered choice of route, it requires careful planning.
• This shhould not last more than 100 yards and there should be loosening of
layout to avoid the feeling of unbearable consruction.
• Each display is carried by every visitor, hence adequate space for stopping and
looking must be provided around special displays likely to draw large crowd.
• Uncontrolled Circulation: in this public is allowed free choice of
things to see.
• It may lead to confusion as the visitor may miss out many exhibits.
• In children’s gallery , where informal and playful is required , such a layout is
suitable.
• A good design should ensure freedom for visitors as well as direct them.
9. MODES OF DISPLAY
• Display is a graphic in 3 dimension.
• The arrangement of objects in space, sculptured by light is the strength if displays.
• The major modes of display are:
• Panels/Screens : Mainly used for 2-D exhibits.
the interactive communication cant be achieved by this mode.
• Movies
• Models and animation models
• Unconventional models.
• Display cases.
• Model
owing to their communicative and comprehensive nature,all visitors easily
acknowledge and comprehend models.
They need to be designed aesthetically to attract the attention of the visitor.
models can be widely used to demonstrate the various facets of science in an
interesting manner for young minds.
10. MODES OF DISPLAY
ANIMATION MODELS
• They are able to capture the attention of the public due to their ability to animate
and communicate an application.
• They are basically used in exhibiting industrial processes and specula fiction effects.
• Though all exhibits can’t be made lucid to all age groups , this mode is effective in
communicating in a dynamic manner.
• Such models however need specific conditions of environment as well as technical
support.
• Therefore they are only used for permanent exhibits.
DISPLAY CASES
• These are essentially miniature, protected rooms having items meant for display
within the confined format of partly or entirely glass enclosed box.
• Cases give protection by their showcases.
• Theft is made impossible, as it requires forcible entry.
• Dust or insects are excluded or minimized.
• Local climatic conditions can be controlled or created.
11. LIGHTING
• In a museum lighting determines how we feel and how we perceive things.
• PHYSIOLOGICALLY: the lighting must highlight the object on display.
• It must create the right ambience.
• There are two types of lighting:
natural and artificial lighting.
NATURAL LIGHTING
• Daylight is rarely satisfactory for exhibits as it is too far temperate in cold
countries and far too brilliant in tropical countries.
• Daylight has daily and seasonal changes with unpredictable patterns
depending on cloud cover, atmospheric pollutions and other climatic
variations.
• Daylight can only be successful in illuminating large areas to stimulate natural
external conditions.
• However some exhibits need natural daylight like plants, large engineering
exhibits and most sculptures.
12. LIGHTING
OVERHEAD LIGHTING
• It provides a steady less liable source of light which least liable to be affected
by lateral obstacles.
• Wall space is as a result left free for display and exhibits.
• However maintenance is a problem.
• This type is also difficult to inculcate in multistory.
LATERAL LIGHTING
• It is provided either by windows of various shapes and sizes placed at suitable
intervals in the walls or by continuous openings
• They provide a convenient and economical method of regulating ventilation
and temperature.
• Acts as an excellent relief by providing pleasant views of the outside natural
environment.
• However it also causes glare and reflections which impedes the visibility and
decreases flexibility of interior layout.
• Wall space is also rendered useless comparitively.
13. LIGHTING
RIBBON LIGHTING
• It is a continuous band of window above the eye level on the side extending to the
ceiling.
• Sun breakers may be used.
WINDOW LIGHTING
• Not recommended as reflections and glare where glass is used to protect the
exhibits.
• Space around the window is rendered useless.
CORNER WINDOW LIGHTING
• Glare can be eliminated in this case and there is more freedom in space
organization.
MONITORS AND INVERTED MONITORS
• Direct light falls on the walls and objects.
• Can be used in single storey buildings as the lower floors cannot get top lighting.
Hence, since natural light cannot be avoided, it is best to use it as general light with
artificial light over specific exhibits.
It is desirable to have natural light to refresh the visitor’s mind.
14. LIGHTING
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
• Ideal exhibition conditions are attained where every aspect of the display is
controllable and the light can be focused, moved, colored and all remains
independent of weather.
• Hence these aspects can be controlled t control interest, mood attention and even
pleasure.
• It is desirable for an exhibition to have both light and dark areas so that object stand
out.
• One should be able to achieve light levels to achieve variation in illumination with
moderate levels in brightness to connect spaces dramatic and theatrical effects can
be sought out by artificial light.
FLOUROSCENT LAMPS:
• These are non directional and cannot be focused or used to project a parallel beam.
• Reduce glare and used as general lighting.
INCANDESCENT LAMPS:
• These are directional and used to highlight on certain spot.
• More flexible in use and expensive.
• Can be used in conjunctions with reflectors.
