AWU Museum for Women of Karnataka | Bijapur

Exposed to torrid weather and dust conditions, this building is carefully designed to mitigate heat and create a comfortable environment within the built space. To do so, a skin wall of 6 meters is introduced around the built space. Punctures within this skin wall allows for accessibility corridor to showcase the culture of four regions of Karnataka, where women play an important role towards family and society. Slits in the wall and roof create a sense of lightness and maintain ambient setting within the building.
