1. ABSTRACT

Museum is a space to display valuable and important exhibits related to particular context. Museum
Architecture has been of increasing importance over the centuries. Museums have become more than
a space of storage and display. They have become forms of expression of the architect, they
incorporate the feel and intent of the museum and the importance of the exhibits. A Museum once
built shall last for years along with the community around it. Thus any Museum architecture shall
compliment the site, surroundings, the urban fabric of the city, the culture, the tradition and the people
residing.

India having a plethora of people and cultures museums are much needed in order to impart
knowledge and awareness among general people of all age categories. Museums of Art, Science,
History, etc exists along with museums dedicated to Indian Armed forces and other fields of Defence.
Indian Navy is one of the most powerful and celebrated Naval forces in the world, they have a rich
history and a arsenal to be proud of. The history and the power of the Navy deserve to be exhibited
and preserved for the future generations. Thus the NAVAL HERITAGE MUSEUM. The architecture
of the museum encourages discovery and learning. The manner of displaying exhibits and portraying
the history should teleport the visitors to another world. A museum is a public building. This means it
should allow for many public functions. Debates, workshops, special expositions, lunch, and all the
other stuff you should be able to do in a museum. Not in some small room in the back, but in the
blood and veins of the museum architecture.

The port city of Visakhapatnam houses the Eastern Naval Command and also has a rich Navy history.
The growing city has a lot of potential. The city after the cyclone HUD HUD has stood back stronger.
It is growing into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The port, INS-Kursura
museum, beautiful setting and Naval importance attract tourists all over the world. The location of the
NAVAL HERITAGE MUSEUM in Visakhapatnam will be apt. It will encourage tourists to visit the
place and learn about the Navy and experience the history. The Museum will be a landmark in the port
city of India celebrating the proud heritage and history of the mighty Indian Navy.
2. INTRODUCTION

India has rich Military heritage which needs to be known and embraced. All Indians who are leading
their lives in peace or distress should be aware that their existence is dependent on the people who
fight everyday with enemies as well as the harsh geographical factors and climatic variations. The
proposed study will strive towards educating and making people aware of their own armed forces,
namely The Indian Naval Service. The world’s largest democracy, India having one of the largest
armies should be celebrated and put up to all people of the country so that they can experience ,
absorb and feel proud. Its an approach to pay tribute to the celebrated Indian Navy and to give them
the respect that they deserve, which was deprived off over the years.

Recent upbringings have made it clear that there is a proposal (by tender) by the AP government for a
family entertainment area along the run of the beach road. Thus this project can cater the needs of
various other events.

2.1 AIM

To create a space exhibiting varied floating& non –floating, flying machines of the Indian Navy.
The museum will be so designed that the people visiting shall retain a memorable and historically
informative Naval Heritage related experience in a comfortable and contemporary architectural space.

2.2 OBJECTIVES

The Naval Heritage Museum will serve following purpose,

a) Portray naval campaigns, heroic deeds and victories through a multi-sensory display so as to
reinforce citizens’ faith and pride in the Naval Forces.
b) Exhibit relics and records of historical significance and military interest, chronicling ascendency of
Naval forces from pre independence times.
c) Display items of Navy interest and historical value including development of arms, equipment and
their role in the Indian history from post-independence till date.
d) Profile human experience of war and chronicle naval events which shaped development of our
country and national character.
e) Enhance awareness of the glorious navy heritage of India to instill and motivate citizens to greater
devotion and duty to the country.
f) Inform about the challenges under which Naval Forces operate to enhance comprehension and
understanding of the Indian Navy.
g) Establish itself as an outstanding landmark in the Vishakhapatnam Coastal Region for Indian and
foreign visitors.
2.3 NEED
India has a rich Naval & Maritime heritage. The gallantry of men in uniform recognised world over.
Since independence, the Indian Armed Forces have fought four major wars to defend national borders
and uphold our national interests. In this the Navy played a major role.

A Naval Heritage Museum in Vishakhapatnam will be a tribute to Indian Navy and will showcase the
nation’s naval strategies, customs, traditions and history. The Museum is envisaged to be a state of the
art building which will be a landmark for those visiting Andhra Pradesh.

The prime focus is to create a sense of belonging and interest among the people to accept and be
aware of India’s rich naval heritage. The mighty soldiers, their stories, stories which culminate reason
of our own survival. The heroic deeds should inspire the generations to come. To evoke such feel and
make the essence of INDIAN NAVY permanent in the hearts of each individual this project is
necessary. It shall be the Architectural wonder which will have the perfect balance of emotions and
feelings and will portray power, supremacy and the strength of the country.
The museum will ensure a journey through time touching all the key aspects which define our Navy
today.

3. METHODOLOGY

4. CITY OF DESTNY

India’s first naval base was constructed in Vizag and it is the only natural harbor on the east
coast.Vizag has the first submarine museum along the beautiful beach road- the INS -
Kursura that played a major role in Indo-Pakistan war in 1971.
Vizag is the land of Lord Narasimha, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. The temple Simhachalam is
built after him during 11th century in a breath-taking location between hills. Not just
simhachalam temple, we will also find harmony between the three major religions in the
same place- a temple, a church and a mosque, all built on the same hill (Mosque is on the
other side of the hill, hence not seen). Araku is a hill station and has many attractions like
Borra caves, tribal museums and many waterfalls. You can either go by the roads or en route
by the train through the hills. Buddhist relics found in the Thotlakonda Buddhist Complex are
estimated to date back from the 1st century BC to 2nd century AD. Vizag has one of the
oldest universities in India, the Andhra University, established in 1926. Not just that, India
premiere management institute, the IIM just began functioning from 2015, adding feather to
the hat.Vizag has many leading manufacturing industries and also developing in upbringing
giant software companies.At 554 Sq.Kms it is the third largest city on east coast beside
Chennai and Kolkata.

5. INDIAN NAVY AND RELATION SHIP WITH CITY

5.1 INDIAN NAVY

The Indian navy is the naval branch of the Indian armed forces.The president of India is
the supreme commander of the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy traces its origins back to
the East India Company's Marine which was founded in 1612 to protect British merchant
shipping in the region The primary objective of the navy is to safeguard the nation's
maritime borders, and in conjunction with other Armed Forces of the union, act to deter
or defeat any threats or aggression against the territory, people or maritime interests of
India, both in war and peace.

5.2 HISTORY OF INDIAN NAVY

The RIG VEDAS written around 1700BC, credits

VARUNA with knowledge of the oceanroutes and describes
naval expeditions.Powerful navies included
those
,the Maurya, Satavahana, Chola, Vijayanaga Figure 3: INS-Mysore with INS- Vikranth
ra, Kalinga, Maratha and Mughal empires.
The Cholas excelled in foreign trade and
maritime activity, extending their influence overseas to
China and Southeast Asia.The Imperial Cholas initiated
their grand naval conquests during the reign of two of its
most illustrious monarchs, Raja RajaChola (ruled 985–
1014) and his son RajendraChola (ruled 1012–
1044).Manavikraman, Samoothiri Raja of Kozhikode began the naval build-up in 1503 in
response to Portuguese attempts at extracting trading privileges.

The Maratha Empire was established by ChhatrapatiShivajiMaharaj in 1674.From its

inception, the Marathas established a Naval force, consisting of cannons mounted on
ships.In 1612, Captain Thomas Best encountered and defeated the Portuguese at

Figure 4:INDIIAN NAVY STRENGTH, 1965

 the Battle of Swally.This encounter, as well
as piracy, led the English East India Company
to build a port and establish a
small navy based at the village of Suvali,
near Surat, Gujarat to protect commerce.The
Company named the force the Honourable
East India Company's Marine, and the first
fighting ships arrived on 5 September 1612.
In 1947, British India was partitioned and the Union of India and Dominion of
Pakistan gained independence from the United Kingdom.The Royal Indian Navy was
split between India and Pakistan, with senior
British officers continuing to serve with both
navies, and the vessels were divided between the
two nations.

5.4 MAJOR NAVAL OPERATIONS

5.4.1 ANNEXATION OF GOA,1961

The first involvement of the Navy in any conflict came during the 1961 Indian annexation of
Goa with the success of Operation Vijay against the Portuguese Navy. Four Portuguese frigates were
deployed to patrol the waters off Goa, Daman and Diu, along with several patrol boats. Eventually
only the NRP Afonso de Albuquerque saw action against Indian Navy ships, the other ships having
fled before commencement of hostilities.The NRP Figure 5 WAR SHIP
Afonso was destroyed by Indian frigates INS- Betwa and INS Beas. Parts of the Afonso are on display
at the Naval Museum in Mumbai.

5.4.2 INDO-PAKISTHAN WAR,1971

The Indian Navy played a significant role in the bombing of Karachi harbour in the 1971 war.
On 4 December, it launched Operation Trident during which missile boats INS Nirghat and INS
Nipat sunk the minesweeper PNS Muhafiz and destroyer PNS Khyber. The destroyer PNS
Figure 6: indo-pak war,1971
Shahjahan was irreparably damaged. Owing to its success, 4 December has been celebrated as Navy
Day ever since. During Operation Python on 8 December, the frigate PNS Dacca was severely
damaged by INS Veer and the oil storage depot of Karachi was set ablaze. On the western front in
the Arabian Sea, operations ceased after the Karachi port became unusable due to the sinking of
Panamian vessel Gulf Star. An Indian frigate, INS Khukri was sunk by submarine PNS Hangor.
On the eastern front, the submarine PNS Ghazi was sunk outside Vishakhapatnam harbour. Indian
naval aircraft, Sea Hawks and Alizés, from the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant were instrumental in
sinking many gunboats and merchant navy vessels in the Bay of Bengal. The successful blockade
of East Pakistanby the Indian Navy proved to be a vital factor in the Pakistani surrender.

6. HERITAGE MUSEUMS

6.1 INTRODUCTION
There is a long debate and evil of western civilization as well as culture.The debate is on-going , but
emergence of museum in Indian society is definitely a tangible achievement of good of western
civilization.The foundation of great museums in some European capitals in the second half of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries must have inspired the building of museums on those lines at the
important Centre’s of British administration.

When museums first began to be planned in British India during the mid-nineteenth century, an
European model of museums as state institutions for the collection of historical, scientific, or artistic
artifacts was already well established.The impression of museums as purely western concept is not
entirely accurate.Heritage museums like models have exited traditionally in other cultures for many
years.

6.2 FUNCTIONS OF HERITAGE MUSEUMS

6.2.1 The Museums in today

The museum as an institution tells the story of man the world over and how humanity has survived in
its environment over the years. It houses things created by nature and by man and in our modern
society it houses the cultural soul of the nation.As a result of their historical beginnings in many
"developing" nations, museums are seen as places where unwanted objects or materials are deposited;
in addition, they are regarded as places where objects associated with idolatry and fetish religions are
kept.

They must mirror events in society and become instruments of progress by calling attention to actions
and events that will encourage development in the society.They must become institutions that can
foster peace, they must be seen as promoting the ideals of democracy and transparency in governance
in their communities, and they must become part of the bigger communities that they serve and reach
out to every group in the society.

6.2.2 Heritage Museums for Education:

Education is critical for development.Education that is devoid of the cultures of the people in the
society is empty and incomplete.One of the fundamental objectives of the museum is to educate, and
it is only the museum that has the capacity and the ability to impart cultural education effectively as it
houses the tools and materials for doing so in its collections.
In modern society, the museums enrich the educational process by exposing children and indeed the
public to their history in a positive way.they assist our future generations to understand and appreciate
their history and culture and take pride in the achievements of their forbearers.
Museums possess materials and information that can and should be used in enriching and improving
the school curriculum in various disciplines.What is important is for the educational planners to work
closely with museum experts on how the educational resources that are available in the museum can
be integrated into the curriculum and the learning process at all levels.
As education becomes a global issue at the turn of the century, it should be clearly understood that the
museum is a veritable institution in the learning process that should be fully integrated into the
educational system.

6.2.3 Museums for Promoting of Society

For a people to live in peace and happiness there must be unity. Museums do promote unity in the
society by using their resources to ensure understanding and appreciation for the various groups and
cultures that exist in that society. Peace is essential for happiness and joy in the family, in the
community, in the society, in the nation and in the world. Our world is troubled in many ways today
and peace is threatened so often because people do not understand their neighbor’s. Conflict
resolution and reconciliation are essential elements for the attainment of sustainable peace and unity.
Museums should use their collections in promoting a better understanding of the collective heritage of
the people.

6.2.4 The Way of Forward

As we approach the millennium, museums must show leadership in the promotion of the heritage of
the nation. As custodians of the cultural soul of the nation, they must have the capacity to broker
peace, unity and understanding in times of conflict and disorder and they must speak out when there is
fear and danger in the land. They must tackle current problems in society, be they the problems of
drugs, street children, prostitution, or lack of appreciation by the citizens in their involvement in the
preservation of the heritage and the cultural property.

6.4 NEED &NECESSITY OF MUSEUMS
The purpose of modern museums is to collect, preserve, interpret, and display items of artistic,
cultural, or scientific significance for the education of the public. From a visitor or community
perspective, the purpose can also depend on one's point of view. A trip to a local history museum or
large city art museum can be an entertaining and enlightening way to spend the day. To city leaders, a
healthy museum community can be seen as a gauge of the economic health of a city, and a way to
increase the sophistication of its inhabitants. To a museum professional, a museum might be seen as a
way to educate the public about the museum's mission, such as civil rights or environmentalism.
Museums of natural history in the late 19th century exemplified the Victorian desire for consumption
and for order. Gathering all examples of each classification of a field of knowledge for research and
for display was the purpose. Museum purposes vary from institution to institution.

For example, in the 1970s, the “ Canada Science and Technology Museum” favored education over
preservation of their objects. They displayed objects as well as their functions. One exhibit featured a
historic printing press that a staff member used for visitors to create museum memorabilia.

6.8 MAINTENANCE OF EXHIBITS

All building materials decay eventually due to sunlight, rain and wind, and therefore they require
continued attention if a building’s condition is to be maintained. Modest spending on regular
maintenance can reduce the need for costly repairs, protect the fabric of your building and save you
money in the longer term. Routine, cyclical, non-destructive actions necessary to slow the
deterioration of a historic place. It entails periodic inspection; routine, cyclical, non-destructive
cleaning; minor repair and refinishing operations. Replacement of damaged or deteriorated materials
that are impractical to save.

8.3. CIRCULATION PATTERN

The visitors behaviour and movement patters determines what they will see, where they might focus
their attention, and, ultimately, what they will learn and experience. Unfortunately the consistency of
movement patters is not readily apparent. This paper will deal with the literature on circulation in
light of the general proceedings of any museum, exhibits and its effects on visitors due to their
strategic placements.
The different patterns are analysed and the inference from such patterns help to design a proper
museum.Understanding visitor behaviour ,
The General Value Principle
Back Tracking
Inertia of movement
One- Sided viewing
Less time and effort visitors use in finding the way, the more they will value their museum experience
and more they can concentrate on the educational or awareness messages, they will be inclined
towards having a satisfactory overall experience of the museum.

Figure 19: standards for circulation pattern

The minimum width between the double display panels are 1.8m.The minimum width between ‘U’
shape display panels are equal to the length of panel. The minimum distance between the objects are
depends on type of object. The spaces should be in widely for protect the objects.

8.4. ENTRY & EXIT:

A passage, channel or means of egress from any building, storey or floor area to a street or other open
space of safety. A passage, channel or means of egress from any street or site area to a building.
Porches plays the crucial part in the entrancehall from inclement weather conditions. They should be
designed as far as possible with the prevailing local wind direction. Entrance should be visible to the
street.

Figure 20: entrance & exit standards for site

8.5. ADMIN HEIRARCHY

Provision of the following spaces is essential in a museum. The spaces shall be adjacent in the given
manner for maximum efficiency. The flow of visitors and their comfort depends on special
allocations. The ancillary spaces include libraries, research and restoration labs, Storage spaces for
artefacts, conference rooms, etc.

8.8. VENTILATION:
Natural ventilation in spaces where it is feasible. Stack effect, courtyards, wind towers, etc passive
techniques can be used. Spaces which require controlled environment for the exhibits are dealt with
HVACs. The type and capacity will be determined by the space and activity. Most of the exhibition
galleries, auditoriums, AV rooms and labs will have HVAC systems

8.9. LIGHTING:
Entry of diffused sunlight is essential. Diffused light means glare free light which is needed for
viewing of exhibits. Enough day lighting ensures a healthy indoor condition. Use of clearstories,
strategic use of glass and planned openings create the modern Exhibition spaces nowadays

Figure 22: various ways to bring in diffused sunlight

8.10. ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING
• luminous ceilings with opal glass enclosure(diffuse light) or sanitized and textured
glass (diffuse/ directional),

8.13. MATERIALS:
 There are so many different materials for museum construction,

7.13.1. WALL
The drywalls of the Museum allow for equal load transfers as the walls are more stable. The
insulation also maintains the temperature in the interiors. The gypsum board on the drywall is also
fireproof and acoustically beneficial causing it to be a preferable building material.

Figure 29: details of dry wall

7.13.2. COMPOSITE CONNCRETE SLAB:
The composite concrete wall slab acts as a support for museum. It works by increasing the load
capacity of flooring system. The concrete slab together with in-situ infill in conjunction with welded
shear studs onto I-beam to enable the slabs and the steel beams to act compositely.

Figure 30: composite concrete slab

7.13.3. SKY LIGHT:

The load from the top is distributed to the wide flange steel girders that spans across the roof and is
transferred to the wall system. The coffered design of the skylight is used to lighten the roof weight
while concealing the large steel beams and mechanical structures.

Figure 31: section of sky light

7.13.4. CLADDING:
The incorporation of ship lapped open joint design of the panel had shield the structure from moisture
that enter the ventilated cavity. Gaskets and isolators of the rain screen provide a snug fit between
panels and the framing system to prevent wind induced rattle and allow for movement of the
aluminum framing due to thermal expansion.
