2.1 SHANTI-KRISHNA COIN MUSEUM, NASHIK
PROJECT BRIEF:-
LOCATION : Anjaneri, Nashik
CLIMATE : Tropical
TYPE : Museum
ARCHITECT : CAUSE – AN INITIATIVE
AREA : 6850sqm
BUILT-UP : 815sqm
PROJECT YEAR : 2016 - 18
CLIENT : Indian Numismatic, Historical and
Cultural Research Foundation.
INTRODUCTION:- LOCATION:-
• The Shanti-Krishna Museum of Money & History in Anjaneri, Nashik, India, was
redesigned in 2018 by a Nashik-based architectural firm, ‘Cause – an initiative.’
The Institute was founded in the 1980s by the Indian Numismatic, Historical, and
Cultural Research Foundation as a research Center, library, and private collection
of coins/artifacts and has since been a landmark in the City of Nashik.
• It was originally known as ‘Nane Sangrahalaya (Coin Museum)’ and was
redesigned with the support of the Ministry of Culture, the Government of India,
by adding an extension of 9000 square feet to be reintroduced as the ‘Shanti-
Krishna Museum of Money & History’. The museum holds 2,500 years of Indian
history in terms of numismatics, natural history, archaeology, and anthropology
that date back to the 5th century BCE. The Museum is a labyrinth within a
structural grid that spans 12 feet in both directions; it is strategic, contextual, and
iconic.

ACCESSIBILITY:-
• While driving along the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar highway, the building set strong in the
solemn foreground of a rugged monochrome landscape, is impossible to miss.
• As one approaches the site, the rocky terrain gently slopes ahead and upward, then
soars in a sublime sanguine.
• At this point, the eye wanders up and along this towering, linearly spread, earthy
arcade wall and pauses at an encased arch that seems to be the apparent entrance.

13
SITE PLAN:-

EXISTING RESEARCH CENTRE PROGRAM

• The Museum extension was designed to increase the number of exhibitions by four
EXISTING LIBRARY times. The building design develops through the existing building structure and
materializes as a labyrinth of square spaces connected by archways and open
COIN MUSEUM courtyards.
• It follows a typology of a gallery space, a continuous path that is designed to
display various exhibitions on numismatics, natural history, archaeology, and
anthropology.

ELEVATION & SECTIONS:- DESIGN STRATEGIES:-

STRUCTURAL GRID
• The clear structural grid of 12ft
by 12ft that based the skeleton
of the existing buildings
instantly set a predetermined
set of rules to design the
extension.
• The grid was replicated and
extended linearly ahead until
the allowable building line
where the new space was to
be conceived, acknowledging
the formerly built.

PASSIVE LIGHT STRATEGIES

• The scale of the Arch was
varied with respect to the
nature of the transition
• They found the element
perfect for softening the rigid
geometry of the grid and
supporting the large volumes
that were to become the
exhibit halls.

BREK OUT SPACES

• The punctured maze
conceived with the derived grid
is broken at the central
circulatory spine to reveal a
wide visual axis that opens out
to a large, double-height
central atrium.
• Diffused sunlight streams in at
the atrium, lighting up the
bluish-grey interior walls and
forming shadows beyond.

3.2. AUDITORIUM

• Anthropometry of auditorium refers to

the study of human body measurements
and proportions in relation to the design
and layout of auditorium spaces. The
goal of auditorium anthropometry is to
create seating arrangements that are
comfortable and safe for people to use,
by taking into account factors such as
body size, reach, and posture.
• An anthropometric analysis of an
auditorium may involve measuring and
analyzing the dimensions of seating,
aisles, and other features, as well as the
space between them. This information
can be used to design seating
arrangements that accommodate a
range of body sizes and postures,
reducing the risk of discomfort, pain,
and injury.
• Other factors that may be considered in
auditorium anthropometry include
lighting, acoustics, and ventilation, all of
which can impact the comfort and
enjoyment of attendees. By designing
auditoriums that take into account the
needs and limitations of the human
body.

27
3.3. TOILET

• Toilet height and size: Toilets should be

at a comfortable height for users,
allowing them to sit comfortably with
their feet flat on the floor. The size of the
toilet bowl should also be appropriate
for the user's body size, providing
enough space for comfortable seating
without feeling cramped.
• Grab bar placement: Grab bars should
be placed at an appropriate height and
distance from the toilet to provide
support and stability for users. They
should be positioned to accommodate
the range of motion of the user's arms
and hands.
• Sink height and size: Sinks should be at
a comfortable height for users to access
and use without straining or bending.
The size of the sink should also be
appropriate for the user's needs,
providing enough space to wash hands
and face comfortably.
• Door width and clearance: Toilet doors
