Conceptualization of RMS attains special significance for many reasons ,
RMS would be the first museum of its kind to have a large component in the
form of outdoor display zone within which environmental settings
pertaining to different periods through history , depicting the growth and
development of man are to be recreated.
The contents and nature of exhibits vary
considerably from normal museum for art
, craft , sculpture , painting , natural history
etc.

Over 80Ha in area , the site , by virtue of its peripheral
configuration and nature of surrounding land uses i.e.,
Police line to its south
Wild life sanctuary to its west
The upper lake to its north
Regional collage - at an upper plateau to its east .
These all to great extent suggests zoning possibilities.

Concept was effected after careful examination and evaluation of functional requirements projected by RMS and
taking into account the constraints and potential of the proposed site.
•The concept that emerged aims at a distinct
landscaped park within which buildings and areas for outdoor exhibition co -exist in harmony and yet enjoy a sense of identity.
•The benefits derived through significant
characteristics of the site guide strategic positioning of
the proposed land use and help to evolve a physical form which is functionally efficient , aesthetically pleasing and environmentally stimulating. 25

Bharat Bhavan :
Established in 1982, Bharat Bhavan is no doubt a centre for innovative creativity,
pursuit of classics and tradition and wide participation in a new cultural upsurge. One
of the most unique national institutes in India, Bharat Bhawan is a center for the
performing and visual arts.
Location
Bharat Bhavan is in the Shamla Hills. It is an
independent trust created by the Legislature of
Madhya Pradesh and consists of the following units
Designed by the renowned architect Charles Correa, its contours merge in exquisite harmony with the landscape
creating a visual impact of spacious and national elegance. It is a place for contemporary articulation, exploration,
reflection and innovation.
31
It is a multi art centre housing a
• museum of the arts,
•an art gallery,
• a workshop for fine arts,
• a repertory theater,
• indoor and outdoor auditoria
•, rehearsal room, and
• libraries of Indian poetry, classical and folk music
The terraces and courtyards once again reflect Correa’s concern with
progression through space – the maze or puzzle – where parts are casually
relieved and the complex of internal street act rather like a village layout.
The site is on a gently sloping
plateau overlooking the lake in
Bhopal. The natural contours of the
site have been used to create a
series of sunken courts and terrace
gardens around which a number of
cultural events are organized

Thesis synopsis :
Topic :
Exploring the relation between form and function with respect
to varying context with the help of a module i.e. museum.
Introduction :
Function is one of the main aspect or purpose of any architectural form. One
can not understand the shape of a door or a bridge without relating it to its
function.
The dictum “form follows function“ coined by architect Louis sullivan give rise
to question,
“ does it”?
“ can it“?
“ Should it “?
The formula form follows function hides a remarkable claim , namely that,
• Function is something that precedes form.
• Exists independently of form.
• Is there before form emerges.
1
Form in other words can be said to follow function only if we consider
function to be entity that precede form.
The notion of function always refers to what an existing object or phenomenon
does within a certain context.
According to Christopher Alexander “The FORM is the solution to the
problem ,the CONTEXT defines the problem”.
Hypothesis :
“form with one function change with respect to its context.”
Aim:
To study the change in the “form” of a museum which is placed on such a
context which is varying with respect to time and also activities.
Objectives:
Studying form in general and all those parameters which influence form
Parameters like
Function
Context
Climate
Economy etc

Form is everything and anything, everywhere and at
every instant .According to their nature , their function some forms are definite, some indefinite some are symmetrical other purely rhythmical some are abstract others material some appeal to the eye , some to ear some to the touch,
some to the sense of smell……
But all, without fail , stand for relationships between the Immaterial and the Material , the subjective and the Objective,
the Infinite spirit and the Finite mind
BY LOUIS SULLIVAN
From this passage it is clear that Sullivan was primarily inspired by
‘Organic Form’.

We might at this point take stock of what , by about 1900, ‘form’ had been used to
mean. There are at least four sets of opposing ideas;

‘Form’ as a property of the seeing of objects (Kant) , or of the objects
themselves:
Form’ as a ‘germ’ , a generative principle contained within organic matter, or works of art (Goethe); or as an idea preceding the thing (Hegel);
The significance of Kant’s thought, in the history of ‘form’, was to established
that ‘form’ lies in the beholding, not in the thing beholden, and that in so far
as the mind recognizes beauty in the object , it is because it sees within them
the representation of that form, independent of content or meaning.
For Goethe and the other Romantics, exactly the same principles of
organic form found in nature applied equally to Art ,and indeed to all
products of human culture. Organic form , again is innate ,it unfolds itself
from within, and acquires its determination contemporaneously with the
perfect development of the germ.
The new interest in ‘Form’ that developed in the 1790’s had two distinct aspects ,
each in there own way important for the subsequent development of the
concept.
The emerges from the philosophy of aesthetic perception developed by
Kant the second from the theories of the Nature and Natural generation
developed by Goethe.
5
FORM within 20th
century modernism.
Here the architectural modernism adopted ‘form’ and made it its cardinal term for various reasons :
It was not a metaphor (if its biological derivation was overlooked ) ;
It implied that the true substance of architecture lay beyond the immediately perceptible world
of sense;
It connected the mental apparatus of aesthetic perception with the material world; and
it gave architects a description for that part of their work over which they held exclusive and
unambiguous control.
None of these factors described what ‘form’ actually meant in modernist discourse.
What will happen to ‘FORM’ then ?
It is not permanent or timeless category of
architectural discourse is clear.
‘Form’ in works of architectural presented by their mass ; or by their space
‘‘Form’ as the end of art , and entire subject of art ; or as merely the sign , through which an idea or
force was revealed ; as Goller had proposed
The discipline of the philosophical aesthetics in the late 18th centaury took off with the realization
that source of beauty lay not in the objects , but in the process by which they were perceived.
A block of marble, though it is and remains lifeless, can nevertheless, thanks to the Architects or
Sculptor, becoming the living form.

FUNCTION
Function
Although Sullivan was the father of the dictum it was not he who
introduced the notion of function into architectural discourse. It seems that the notion came to
be applied to architecture sometime around 1750 in Venice in Italy, in the architectural
doctrines of the Italian Jesuit monk Father Lodoli was an important figure in the cultural
circles of Venice of that time Carlo Lodoli. Lodoli was intensely interested in the theory of
architecture
His ideas and theories survived thanks to two books, one written by Francesco Algarotti, one
of his critics, and the other by his admirer Andrea Memmo. According to these writers Lodoli
was very critical of what he considered as overuse of ornament and decoration both in
contemporary, and in much of the older architecture . As one of these writers put it the
cornerstone of Lodoli's teaching was the maxim that nothing should be put on show that was
not in function. 7
Form and
Function
FUNCTION
The moment we talk about Function and Form relation the first thing as an architect comes
to our mind is the famous dictum ‘Form follows Function’ In the discussions about the
dictum form follows function the main the verb 'follow' that kept attracting attention.
"does it - can it - should it follow function?" was the usual question
Form follows function hides a remarkable claim, namely that function is
something that precedes form, that it exists independently of form, that it is
there before form emerges.. But is there really such a thing as function that
exists prior to form? Whether we wonder about the function of the heart in
human physiology, or the function of facades in a townscape, hearts and
facades have to exist before anybody starts wondering about their functions. In
both natural and social sciences form predates function: the notion of function is
born from observing existing forms
FUNCTION
FUNCTION with respect to CONTEXT
The dictum form follows function was coined by the American architect Louis Sullivan in his
article "The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered" published in 1896 . In the article
Sullivan presented his approach to the emerging building type he referred to, in the
manner of the time, as 'tall office building' soon to be called 'skyscraper'. In connection with
arguing for his tripartite concept of skyscraper design and for the upward character of the
structure, Sullivan claimed that his design was a 'natural' result of an all-pervading law.
First he formulated this alleged law in general terms.
8
Function seems to be employed as a synonym for 'purpose'. Could this be the reason why
function is considered to precede form? "Form follows purpose" seems to make better
sense. We further know that even in our day-to-day language we use the notion of function
in two different senses, one of which is synonymous with 'purpose
Let us call these two different meanings of the notion of function the
intended functioning and the actual functioning.
ACTUAL INTENDED
FUNCTION
When speaking, for example, about the function of car tires, we may have in mind the
original intention with which they were produced, that is securing a soft, quiet and safe ride.
Alternatively, we may by function mean their actual performance, We may then find that
they not only fail to fulfill thoroughly the intended objective, but that they in addition produce
a lot of unintended things: they wear out, are exposed to punctures, are exceedingly
laborious to change, create severe disposal problems, etc
So the dictum form follows function makes obviously sense only if we understand it as
"form follows intended functioning". But can "form follows intended functioning"- or simply
"form follows purpose"- be the true meaning of "form follows function"? Our answer would
be 'no'. Admittedly, in the designer's world the intention, plan or purpose is always there
before the form is created; products are always conceived, designed and manufactured
with this or that purpose in mind.

There are three definitions of context:
the circumstances in which an event occurs, a setting and the part of text that surrounds a
particular word or passage and determines meaning.
CONTEXT
The task of the architectural project is to reveal, through the transformation of
‘FORM ‘ , the essence of the surrounding CONTEXT.
Alexander used ‘CONTEXT ‘ as a synonym for ‘environment’ , introducing the
book , he wrote ‘every design problem begins with an effort to achieve fitness
between two entities, the form in question and its context.
The FORM is the solution to the problem, the CONTEXT defines the problem.
The aim of the design , he writes , is not to meet the requirements in the best
possible way , but ‘ to prevent misfit between the FORM and the CONTEXT.
High-performance design is a process of setting goals and evaluating strategies that integrate all of a building's systems in
the context of the location.
Building Performance Is Dependent on Context
The building's context. It includes:
• where the building is placed in nature
• what other buildings are around it
• who will be using it
• how it relates to the city and/or natural world that
surrounds it 10
For Frank Gerry, context means more than the way a building relates to its surroundings. It also means the way it
will be used by the people who enter it, how it will feel to move through the building; what the building "says" to
people passing by.
CONTEXT
A building can blend into its surroundings, reflect them, or contrast with them
Falling water, a house by Frank Lloyd Wright, reflects its surroundings by using
natural stones and shapes in its design.
In many suburbs, new houses must blend in, matching the neighboring houses in
many ways, from their general design to the landscaping and the color of the paint.
The Egyptian Pyramids stand in monumental contrast to the flat desert surrounding
them. They were once covered with limestone which gleamed white in the sun

IN BRIEF: An institution devoted to the acquisition, conservation, and exhibition of objects having
scientific, historical, or artistic value.
A museum is typically a "permanent institution in the service of society and of its development, open to the public, which
acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education, enjoyment , the tangible
and intangible evidence of people and their environment."

museum The word "museum" comes from the Latin museum,
plural musea, which is in turn derived from the Greek
mouseion, which refers to a place or temple
dedicated to the Muses
In Roman times the word referred to a place devoted to scholarly occupation . The public museum as it is known today did
not develop until the 17th–18th century. The first organized body to receive a private collection, erect a building to house it,
and make it publicly available was the University of Oxford; the resulting Ashmolean Museum opened in 1683. The 18th
century saw the opening of great museums such as the British Museum, Louvre, and Uffizi Gallery. By the early 19th
century the granting of public access to formerly private collections had become common. What followed for the next 100
years was the worldwide founding of museums intended for the public. In the 20th century, museums have broadened their
roles as educational facilities, sources of leisure activity, and information centers.
Many sites of historical or scientific significance have been developed as museums. Museum attendance has increased
greatly, often attracted by “blockbuster” exhibitions, though museums have had to become more financially resourceful
due to constraints in public funding.

MUSEUM
14
Types of museums
Modern museums generally concentrate on a particular subject, and most museums belong to one or more of the following
categories: fine arts, applied arts, craft, archaeology, anthropology and ethnology, history, cultural history, military history, science,
technology, children's museums, natural history, numismatics, and philately. Within these categories many museums specialize
further, e.g. museums of modern art, local history, aviation history, agriculture or geology. A museum normally houses a core
collection of important selected objects in its field. Objects are formally accessioned by being registered in the museum's collection
with an artifact number and details recorded about their provenance. The persons in charge of the collection and of the exhibits are
known as curators.
History museums
History museums have concern over the knowledge of history and its relevance to
the present and future. The museums tend to cover specialized aspects of history
at the local or state level; some are more general Such museums contain a wide
range of historical objects, including ancient artifacts, antique belongings, and rare
models. Antiquities museums specializes in more archaeological findings.
A common type of history museum is a historic house. A historic house can be a stately
home, the birthplace of a famous person, or a house with an interesting history. Historic
sites can also become museums, particularly those that mark public crimes, such as
Tuol Sleng or Robben Island.
The Shaanxi History Museum located
in Xi'an, China.
ART MUSEUMS
An art museum, also known as an
art gallery, is a space for the
exhibition of art, usually visual art,
and usually primarily paintings,
illustrations, and sculpture.
The first museum in Europe was The British Museum in London, which was founded in 1753 and opened free to the public in 1759. It was a
'universal museum' with art, history, and science collections, and a library.
The Winter Palace home of the
Hermitage, overlooks the Neva River.
The Louvre in Paris, France
15
SCIENCE MUSEUMS
Science museums and technology centers revolve around scientific marvels and
their history. To explain complicated inventions, a combination of demonstrations,
interactive programs and thought-provoking media are used. Some museums may
have exhibits on topics such as computers, aviation, physics, astronomy, and the
animal kingdom. Science museums, in particular, may consist of planetaria, or
large theatre usually built around a dome. Museums may have IMAX feature films,
which may provide 3-D viewing or higher quality picture. As a result, IMAX content
provides a more immersive experience for people of all ages.
The specialised art museum is considered a fairly modern invention, the first being the Hermitage in St. Petersburg which was
established in 1764.
The Louvre in Paris, France was
established in 1793, soon after
the French Revolution when the
royal treasures were declared for
the people.
The Czartoryski Museum in
Kraków was established in 1796
by Princess Izabela Czartoryska.
This showed the beginnings of
removing art collections from the
private domain of aristocracy and
the wealthy into the public
sphere, where they were seen as
sites for educating the masses in
taste and cultural refinement.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS
Museums of natural history and natural science typically exhibit work of the natural world. The
focus lies on nature and culture. Evolution, environmental issues, and biodiversity are major
areas in natural science museums. Notable museums of this type include the Natural History
Museum in London, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in
Washington, D.C., and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City which
contain important collections of artifacts and specimens.
OPEN-AIR MUSEUMS
Open air museums collect and re-erect old buildings at large outdoor sites, usually in
settings of re-created landscapes of the past. The first one was King Oscar II's collection
near Oslo in Norway, opened in 1881. In 1891 Arthur Hazelius founded the famous
Skansen in Stockholm, which became the model for subsequent open air museums in
Northern and Eastern Europe, and eventually in other parts of the world. Most open air
museums are located in regions where wooden architecture prevail, as wooden
structures may be translocated without substantial loss of authenticity. A more recent
but related idea is realized in the ecomuseums, which originated in France.
OTHER MUSEUMS
A number of different museums exist to demonstrate a variety of topics. Music museums
may celebrate the life and work of composers or musicians. The Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame in Cleveland, Ohio is a good example. A recent development with the expansion of
the web, is the establishment of virtual museums, typically with no counterpart in the real
world. Museums targeted for the youth, such as the Miami Children's Museum, often
exhibit interactive and educational material on a wide array of topics.

• It lies at the border of two states Maharashtra &
Goa. It is one of the oldest towns in the state, lying at
a distance of 502 km from Bangalore & 500 km from
Mumbai.
• The district comprises 1278 villages with an area of
13,415 sq.km with a population of around 5 lakh
• Its natural beauty & environment are a world of
contrast & harmonies with swift & kaleidoscopic
change in topography, vegetation & climate (50"
rainfall)
Climate :
Belgaum is known
for its pleasant climate, but
can get extremely hot in the
summer (April through June). It
is at its coldest in winter
(November through February),
and experiences heavy and
continuous Monsoon rains during July to September.
GEOGRAPHY :

The ancient name of the town of Belgaum was Venugrama meaning Bamboo Village
The place has a fort inside which there is the famous Kamalabasti built by one Ratta Officer called Bichiraja
in 1204.
Tourism and attractions
Belgaum, a charming city nestling in the
foothills of the Western Ghats; which
create a beautiful backdrop. 502 kms
from Bangalore and 125 kms from Goa, is
a picture of contrasts. The old town area
of Vadgaon & Angol with its cotton and
silk weavers stands gloriously beside the
modern, bustling, treelined British
Cantonment area of the city.

Jain philosophy
The Jain temple situated inside the fort known as Kamal Basti. This temple
was constructed by the jain king Jakkadev before first century B.C in the
memory of jain muni and his 108 followers who were burnt alive at a place
near Gurudev Renade Mandir at Tilakwadi which was a thick forest at that
time.

According to the custom, the jain munis settled
down at one place before sunset and do not
move out of the place till the sun rise next day.
As the fire took place during the night time , the
munis perished in the fire. So the king

The Mughals took over Belgaum and
renamed it as Azamnagar. Belgaum
witnessed a prolonged power
struggle between the Mughals and
the Marathas.
The Marathas took over this town
and held it until the British took over.
The Bahamani rulers of the Deccan captured it in the 15th century. They not only renovated the Belgaum fort, but also built the Jami Masjid and other important
monuments.
This interesting monument,
where mosques & temples

Transforming the fort characters in to
design which reflects the context.
Surrounding activities will be
traced in to the design so that
the form evolved from this will
blend with the context.
Transition or change is achieved through
the proposed contrast programs, which
thus gives different identity to the
Belgaum fort.
