AVIATION MUSEUM

An aviation museum. air museum, or aerospace museum is a museum exhibiting

the history and artifacts of aviation. In addition to actual, replica or accurate
reproduction aircraft, exhibits can include photographs, maps, models, dioramas,
Clothing and equipment used by aviators.
Present scenario Of museums: - The public in present are likely to visit and
capture the history or the information of Indian air force although the
government had made progress in devolving aviation museums. - Few lack the
motive and entertainment which needed to be offered for public. - Lack of
knowledge towards the heritage and history of the artifacts, modules and
manpower. Aviation museums may display their aircraft only on the ground or fly
some of them. Museums that do not fly their aircraft may have decided not to do
so either because the aircraft are not in condition to fly or because they are
considered too rare or valuable. Museums may fly their aircraft in air shows or
other aviation related events, accepting the risk that flying them entails. Some
museums have sets of periodicals. technical manuals photographs and personal
archives. These are often made available to aviation researchers for use in writing
articles or books or to aircraft restoration specialists working on restoring an
aircraft. Statistics showing the drop of visitors to museum over the ears on
various types and programs of museum Aviation museums vary in size from
housing just one or two aircraft to hundreds. They may be owned by national,
regional or local governments or be privately owned. Some museums address the
history and artifacts of space exploration as well, illustrating the close association
between aeronautics and astronautics. Many aviation museums concentrate on
military or civil aviation, or on aviation historyof a particular era. such as vioneer
aviation or the succeeding "golden age" between the World Wars aircraft of
World War Il or a specific type of aviation, such as gliding.

PRESENT SCENARIO OF MUSEUMS

The public in present are likely to visit and capture the history or the information
of Indian air force although the government had made progress in devolving
aviation museums. Few lack the motive and entertainment which needed to be

artifacts, modules and manpower Aviation museums may display their aircraft
only on the ground or fly some of them. Museums that do not fly their aircraft
may have decided not to do so either because the aircraft are not in condition to

them entails. Some museums have sets of periodicals, technical manuals,
photographs and personal archives. These are often made available to aviation
researchers for use in writing articles or books or to aircraft restoration specialists
working on restoring an aircraft.

HISTORY OF AVIATION
Aircrafts have been around for a century, but the history of aviation has extended
over more thar 2000 years from the earliest kites and attempts at tower jumping
to supersonic. and hypersonic flights by powered heavier than air jets in
mythology of ancient civilizations, humans attributed the ability to fly to their
deities. mythical figures and demons. The ability of the supreme beings expressed
the dream, the trial and the urge of humans to fly themselves. In order to fly, they
needed wings. So, humans repeatedly tried to create wings like the wings of birds
or insects.

HISTORY OF INDIAN AVIATION

Indian Aviation Industry is one of the fastest growing airline industries in the
world. The history of Indian Aviation Industry started in December 12 with its first
domestic air route between Karachi and Delhi. It was opened by the Indian Air
Services in collaboration with the UK based Imperial Airways as an extension of
London-Karachi flight of the Imperial Airways. Tata Sons Ltd. the first Indian
airline, started a regular airmail service between Karachi and Madras three years
later without any backing from the Indian government . The first blueprint of
aviation proposed in the year 1900 in India during the British rule to convey the
mode of transport.
ARCHITECTURAL SCOPE OF MUSEUM
Museum architecture not only provides the material-built contexts Within Which
museums exist, it also crucially adds meaning to the objects and interactions in
these spaces of encounter. The Initial observation that objects and collections
placed in one context will look, feel and signify differently when placed in another
provides rationale enough to study museum architecture. Similarly. it has been
found that the built, designed forms of museums and galleries are bound up in
visitors' experiences in complex and significant ways; the evidence available
suggest that as visitors move through museums they map their experiences
physically, as well as emotionally and imaginatively. Furthermore, museum
professionals - the people who occupy these spaces daily - utilize the architecture
of museums in all kinds of wavs. In the process they shape the materiality of these
sites, adding meaning to different kinds of relationships and spaces in all kinds of
contingent and unpredictable ways as they go. Architectural form and elements
depicting in the style and spatial configuration in the design of the museum

ISSUE OF INTEREST
When architects design a building, there are many different types of space and
zoning to select. The question is what types of zoning and space a museum should
have. Especially, the museum which display a massive exhibition like aircraft. The
museum is a place where people explore and learn new thing like art and history.
However. not many people these days visit museum anymore. so how can we
attract more people to the museum. Are there a way to make kids have fun and
learn at the same time? Museum are a place that display their collection like art
and artifact with a space. That can give the visitors a wonder experience. An
aviation museum they have to display aircraft and other aviation engineering so
their space will need to be bigger than other museum and what kind of
construction can support that kind of space for the aviation museum and can give
the visitor the wonder of experience just like another museum The museum is
one of the important places that give us a chance to know more about history
culture and the Indian air history
Systematic display, it purposes of the display in the museum is just like an
interactive display where you use the collection to explain it self instead of having
the visitor to just read it background Therefore, the story Is essential. The display
design of a museum almost determines Exhibit Space Creation. just like it said. is
to design a style of display design to make the exhibit space into where a visitor
can enjoy the exhibit. Theatricalized Presentation, they mostly explain about after
you have a museum as a stage for the display, the display should have a perform
their own role as a exhibit state of the art instruments of the museum.

AIM
To design and Aeronautical Museum at a proposed site in Delhi.

OBJECTIVES
- Develop an interactive network of communication by co-operation and selt-help
between participating volunteer-based aviation museums in India
- Further the preservation of Indian aviation heritage and the ongoing successful
development and operation of existing and future aviation museums.
