Abstract:
The thesis outlines a design proposal to develop a ‘tea museum’ at Dibrugarh, Assam. The aim is to break free from the conventional idea of a museum as just a showcase of wall hung's and installations and provide a platform to study, preserve, exhibit and experience tea-related resources.
The project explores the amalgamation of beautiful tea garden and tea factories having some dedicated spaces for tea workers as well. It stands as a dialogue between the conventional and the experimental, the past , the present and the future.
The museum focuses on peoples participation and creates an immersive experience with interactive galleries, workshops, and factory visits.
