The floating museum in Kochi seamlessly integrates traditional architecture with wind, light, and waves. It features clustered buildings and strategic breaks for uninterrupted interaction with the environment. Two bridges connect sections: an aerial bridge for exhibitions and a water bridge for administration. The main exhibition block reflects the ocean sky, while transparent elements provide horizon views. South-facing eaves reduce heat gain, and an undulating roof echoes waves. Indirect light enters exhibition spaces with adjustable shutters. The design offers a captivating and immersive museum experience.

This space 1.5m to 3.2m acts as insulation against extreme temperatures, winds, and sound improving the building’s thermal efficiency for both high and low temperatures.
Each glass panel measures 1.5mx3m and has a unique shape and curvature.
In cold climates, the air buffer works as a barrier to heat loss. Sun-heated air contained in the cavity can heat spaces outside the glass, reducing the demand for indoor heating systems.

This was designed as a proposal for the “Museum of Emotions” silent competition floated by the Bees Builder.
As per the brief, the museum was designed to understand the impact of architecture on emotions, which is reminiscent of a swan song. Just as a swan song is known for its powerful and poignant expression.
The design utilizes its circular plan resembling a sundial with positive space on one side and negative on the other. The contrasting narrow spaces within the structure, combined with its desert surroundings devoid of distractions, create an environment that elicits a range of these emotions. Like a swan song, this architectural experience leaves a lasting impression on its users, evoking a mix of emotions that resonate long after the encounter.

The architecture induces fear and uncertainty as users descend a topsy-turvy ramp between sharp, shard-like boulders. Protruding from the floating ceiling, these boulders create a perilous downhill journey. The sliding ramp towards the tensile fabric intensifies the unsettling atmosphere, accentuated by the reverberating red light upon impact. This design effectively evokes negative emotions, leaving users in a state of unease and discomfort.
This space is crafted to evoke a serene journey of gentle ascend as if floating above while gliding one’s fingertips on calm water. Delicate, moving fabric leaves a mesmerizing trail, revealing ethereal streaks of angelic blue light on the facade. Users are drawn to reach the pinnacle, where cascading skylight beckons, granting a profound sense of blissful tranquility. This architectural marvel encapsulates captivating beauty, lightness, and serenity.
