THESIS REPORT | FASHION HUB DELHI
MUSEUM Building museums in parks or gardens offer considerable advantages of a wider choice of detached positions thus reducing the risk of fire, a relative degree of protection from dust, noise, vibrations, exhaust gases from motor engines and factories and smoke from the chimneys of houses and municipal heating plants. A belt of trees surrounding the museum serves as an effective natural filter for dust and chemical discharges and also helps to stabilize the humidity of the atmosphere. Large trees cut off light or deflect light and thus diminish or alter its effect on colour. Strong artificial lights are generally used as being more effective than daylight. The most important thing is that the construction should be flexible, capable to adaptation to different features that it must simultaneously or successively contain while preserving its unchanged framework. CIRCULATION
ENTRANCE There must be only one public entrance placed quite separately from the others. This should lead into a vestibule where certain essential services should be located such as the sale of tickets, information center. It is important for the entrance hall to be attractive. It should provide an easy introduction to the building, a point from which the individual visitor can find his way without difficulty and where large parties can be greeted and assembled. It requires to be fairly spacious with minimum sturdily built furniture. It is not advisable to have only one door from here into the exhibition rooms; there should be two, an entrance and an exit, far enough to prevent delay and placed such that it can easily be watched at the same time.
