STREAM - Museum of language

J + A Design Studio as Architects

A space for the diminishing and evolving vernacular. A concept developed by J+A Design studio for a museum of language.


The idea of the spatial planning of the museum is to create

an interactive environment with active participation of the visitors, offering 

a technology based learning and enabling them to re visit. This criterion 

was fulfilled by creating a fluid planning with static and dynamic zones i.e.

Museum zone (Dynamic-Zone 1) and Learning zone (Static-Zone2)*. 


The expressions attributed to the zones defines the purpose as: Dynamic-

Zone 1 (G+2 museum zone) would illustrate the life of a language as an 

intangible cultural heritage showcasing the history (origin), present context

(contemporary) and future aspects (dark/bright or positive/negative 

future). Separate sessions can be planned for various languages e.g. 3 hrs 

for a language can count 3 sessions of different language/day. The 

session methodology would use virtual reality and holograms for an

 impactful learning. 


Static-Zone2 (G+2 learning zone) would be a permanent place for regular

 visitors/individual practitioners/researchers etc.equipped with data 

collection, multipurpose & lecture hall; digital library etc. 


These zones are linked with a Transition region (Zone3) accommodating 

open interactive spaces; open air theatre and a periscopic viewing

 gallery i.e. a viewing expanse which provides a number of intermediate 

levels giving a wide viewing angle to and from the zones 1 and 2. This zone

 also allows the visitors to absorb the enthralling experience with a relaxing 

interactive space with OAT and outdoor sit outs. 


Zone 4 includes the administration and utility spaces. The built area has an

 accessible terrace flanked by a parametric roof. 


Learning is a process; process is flow and flow is the ‘Stream’.
