This project highlights my approach to scaling design concepts for large public buildings. ## Photos and videos - ![A feature in Architecture+Design magazine on the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya.

My process for large-scale institutional projects focuses on creating a cohesive experience for the visitor, ensuring that the structural massing and material selections serve the primary narrative of the space, much like in my private residential work. The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya project represents a study in how architecture communicates a national story. To execute this vision, we utilized a master plan that anchors the building within the landscape, using sunken courtyards and grand interior volumes to guide visitor movement. ### Engineering and Concept The core concept was derived from hands molding clay, a gesture interpreted through curved structural forms and robust concrete materiality. We prioritized natural light integration through strategic skylights and atriums, ensuring the interior feel remains airy despite the massive scale of the facility. ### Key Technical Aspects * **Material Strategy:** Implementation of high-performance glass, steel, and stone to ensure durability for high-footfall areas. * **Spatial Planning:** Managing a 25-acre site requires rigid adherence to site logistics and structural grid placement, ensuring the flow between exhibition zones is intuitive and seamless. * **Symbolism:** The architecture is not merely a container for exhibits but a physical manifestation of progress, with clean lines and geometric precision that reflect a contemporary Indian identity. This project demonstrates my capability to handle complex structural requirements and large-format site planning while maintaining the same commitment to detail found in my high-end residential practice. ## About Designarium Homes I am Shray, an architect dedicated to projects where every structural element tells a story. Whether designing a compact villa or a sprawling institutional landmark, I translate complex concepts into tactile realities that respect the local context.
