Synopsis

The project objective was to identify the space available for addition of new galleries and to give a detailed design of the same based on the theme of astronomy.

The design process included content generation, building the narrative, conceptualisation of the thematic gallery and visualisation of the space. The design of the gallery aimed to take the visitors on an engaging journey into the universe and provide an enthralling experience of the cosmos in a realistic setting. The final deliverables of the project comprised of meticulously detailed layouts of the space and high quality renders derived from 3-D models.
