Zafar Mahal Proposed Design

Proposed Design for a museum,

As an architect, the proposed design has to follow certain constraints like,

• The built form shouldn't be altered to retain the essence of spaces and distribution.
• The material used to build the structure should be preserved, which will help locals to understand the techniques used in past.

Current Major standing built forms,

• Hathi Gate- The grand entrance to the haveli has lots of niches and helps accelerate the dramatic experience of Mughal architecture. It can act as
• Chattri- The collonade raised 2.4 meters from the ground is built in the biggest existing space 2.3 meters high. It can act as a nodal point for circulation.

Distribution of Spaces,

• Entrance from Hathi Gate leads to question booth and reference material section.
• The lower level is perfect for seamless circulation and can serve as a museum for the early Mughal turmoil to later Mughal resistance.
• The upper levels can sinuate the peak of their dynasty and house precious artifacts as it is well walled and distant from exits.
