Bollywood Museum / Yazdani Studio
Posted in Architecture - Museums by * FORMAKERS
The design for the Bollywood Museum harnesses the power of this especially dynamic form of cinema by responding to its layered expressions of emotions.©
This fundamental aspect of Bollywood cinema inspires multiple facets of the design, from its undulating iconic form to the multiple waves of spatial experience that cascade across the site.©
Envisioning the program as a series of scenarios generated of a rich pallet of experiences and spaces. Central to this exercise was submersing the museumgoer in an environment where they could be the star: guests enter the museum via a red carpet arrival, and orientation occurs in theaters designed for gala events.©
Some galleries are treated as working sets for a ‘behind the scenes’ feel, while others use interactive technology to immerse patrons in worlds only seen on screen.©
Situated in Film City amidst working back-lots, the museum participates in the industry that supports it.©
Inside, multiple small theaters combine to support opening night screenings and major awards ceremonies.©
Conceived as an all-day affair, landscape and building merge to support the variety of experiences. Families having traveled from afar can picnic amongst set reproductions and enjoy screenings in the movie garden.©
The concept of movement and flow carries thru to structure.©
Beneath the complex flowing form lies a rational structure that enables flexibility of programming.©
Warehouse-like volumes accommodate exhibits ranging from actual sets to intimate encounters with memorabilia. Fittingly, the Bollywood Museum is not a box containing artifacts, but a living space celebrating and supporting a living culture.©
