The proposed Knowledge Center is sited along the north-western ramparts overlooking the Chokhelao Bagh. Developed as a series of interconnected decks descending from the Palace Plaza, the Knowledge Center will consist of Exhibition Galleries, Seminar Halls, Community Spaces and Scholar’s Studies.
The spaces, placed sequentially from public to progressively more private, have been designed around a steep lightwell. Stone jaalis and a system of trellises formed through extensions of the building’s primary steel structure will characterize the façade.
Providing an alternate entrance experience, the Visitor Center is designed as a highly flexible and adaptable intervention that will help mitigate the high footfall with minimal ecological impact. A parallel pathway along the main fort entrance has been proposed, culminating at the Jai Pol Plaza. The junction of the plaza and the pathway will house the Visitor Center, populated with woven steel lattice-based modules fitted with stone tukdi slabs.
