In today’s rapidly evolving construction industry, sustainability has emerged as a critical focus, driving efforts to minimize environmental impact and promote eco-friendly practices. Architecture plays a pivotal role in this movement, as thoughtful design and innovative building techniques can significantly reduce resource consumption, enhance energy efficiency, and create healthier living environments.
“The Energy Museum” emerges as a beacon dedicated to charting India’s journey towards net-zero emissions, documenting its past achievements, current endeavours, and future aspirations.
The theme focuses on revolutionizing the construction and energy sector by providing India its first Energy Museum. The competition seeks to establish a pioneering institution that not only showcases the evolution of energy technologies but also serves as a hub for research and education in sustainable energy practices. As the first-ever museum of its kind in India, the design should reflect innovation, sustainability, and a commitment to advancing energy efficiency.
The primary objective of this architecture competition is to solicit designs for the Energy Museum of India that incorporate green building features while also integrating a research centre focused on energy efficiency. The winning design will serve as a model for sustainable architecture and contribute to the cultural and educational landscape of India. The museum should become a centre for educating masses about embodied energy, operational energy, carbon footprint etc. by itself becoming a live case study of the principles it represents.
