INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS DEPRESSION?
Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively
affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act.
Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of
sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can
lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can
decrease your ability to function at work and at home.

Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given

year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at
some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on
average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are
more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show
that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode
in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately
40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have
depression.

The death of a loved one, loss of a job or the ending of a relationship

are difficult experiences for a person to endure. It is normal for
feelings of sadness or grief to develop in response to such situations.
Those experiencing loss often might describe themselves as being
“depressed.”

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS DEPRESSION?

• Depression is a major public health problem in India,
contributing to significant morbidity, disability as well as
mortality, along with significant socioeconomic losses.
 • Depressive disorders affect large numbers of children,
adolscents, middleaged groups and the elderly, both men and
women, residing in urban and rural areasand slums of-india.
• Depression and suicide are closely interlinked. At its worst,
depression can lead to suicide. Recognizing depression at an
early stage is critical for reducing suicidal death sand deliberate
self-harm across the spectrum.
Depression in India
According to WHO, India is home to an estimated 57 million people
affected by depression. With India witnessing significant changes
that is coupled with rapid sociodemographic transition, depression is
likely to increase in the coming years.
As per NMHS (2015 – 16) in India, one in 20 people over 18 years of
age have ever suffered from depression amounting to a total of over
45 million persons with depression in 2015.
SITE LOCATION: for the project anti depression centre I have taken
the location BANGLORE and in further study I will locate the exact
site for the execution of the project.

NEED OF AN ANTI DEPRESSION CENTER

According to recent survey by WHO, 150 million people in India need
care for their mental health condition. We are quick to rush to the
hospital if we experience chest pain, to pop in pills for conditions like
high BP, high cholesterol, and diabetes. But we are reluctant to seek
treatment for mental health issues. So there has to be a center
where people of any caste, gender, age can be treated.
Main reason for the need of an anti-depression center are:
 • According to INDIATODAY news dated October 10, 2018, it was
mentioned by WHO that india is the most depressed country in
the world.
• From 2005 – 15, cases of depressive illness increased by nearly
five times.
• The economic impact of depression is also at the driving factor.
Although the effects of poor health and poverty are by no
means unique to depression, the longer duration at a
proportion at depressive illness makes their negative impacts
greater than for most acute physical conditions.

AIM OF THE PROJECT:

• To establish a natural residential atmosphere and facilities to
treat persons suffering from clinical depression that don’t
require hospitalization.
• To provide a place so that researchers and doctors can work
together.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
TIME:
• Increase efficiency of mental health care delivery systems.
• Architecture legibility.
COST:
• Diversity in function.
• Locally available materials.
• Accessibility.
QUALITY

SOCSO REHAB CENTRE MALACCA, MALAYSIA
• Arguably the first rehabilitation complex in the world that
combined medical and vocational rehabilitation facilities with
an allied health institute. • This project is initiated under Social
Security Organisation Malaysia (SOCSO) ‘Return To Work’
programme.

PLANNING CONCEPT:
• The main tenants are people with disabilities and their
caretakers. The whole planning was orchestrated based on
ease of movement and compliance to universal ‘access for all’
concept, and Malaysian Standard Code of Practice on Access
for Disabled Person to Public Buildings and other relevant
guidelines.

ARCHITECTURE CONCEPT:
• The buildings are placed sensitively on existing topography;
maintaining & enhancing wherever possible.
• Each buildings are given different outlook / identity for easy
recognition and orientation.
• Great emphasize on ‘green design’ such as orientation,
maximise natural lighting and ventilation, creation of ‘wind
corridor’, low e-glass, fixed and movable shading panels.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ARCHITECTURE
INTRODUCTION
The proposal for instituting a Museum of Architecture has been
under discussion for a few years. GREHA, a registered society,
working in the field of architecture, environmental design, and
development of human habitat, took on the responsibility of
conceiving a Museum of Architecture, which will raise public
awareness of this discipline, which affects our lives in significant
ways on a daily basis. A museum is a place where everyone, with or
without qualification, can enter and be inspired by the stories of our
past and present. Museum is the way forward to develop mankind. A
museum is an institute that cares for a collection of artifacts and
other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance.

“Museun is an institute that tells the story of human kind, education

is one of the most important criteria for development and one of the
fundamental objective of museum is to educate.”

There are many types of museum, including art museum, natural

history museum, science museums, war museums, children’s
museums & architectural museum. Architecture of any museum tells
its own story through circulation, density, lighting, background,
arrangement, and labels.

ARCHITECTURAL MUSEUM
Architecture museum is a unique repository of architects’ and allied
professionals’ records and a dynamic hub of research into
architectural and built environment history. The architecture
museum is a facility for the acquisition, preservation and
management of architecture and related records.
NEED OF ARCHITECTURE MUSEUM
architecture is an ancient discipline, and the result of its thinking and
endeavor provide us with some of the most lasting examples of our
culture. It is to bridge this gap in understanding between the
profession and society that’s why national museum of architecture is
needed.
“To develop urban area and society, architecture is the most
important criteria to form the infrastructure. The national museum
of architecture will allow us to imagine our future in a way that
benefits the majority, which is great challenge facing us today in the
development of our buildings and cities.”

WHY MUSEUM AS THESIS PROJECT?

The national museum of architecture can provide the matrix for
motivation and inspiration to emerge from a deep understanding of
the history of our own architecture and its relevance and place in
contemporary conditions.
Museum planning is an opportunity to describe a new museum’s
vision, the visitor experience and an organizational plan for new
institution, or one undergoing a major expansion or change in the
focus.
SITE LOCATION: for the project NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE MUSEUM I
have taken the location HUBLI and in further study I will locate the
exact site for the execution of the project.
AIM:
• To develop an architectural museum to bridge the gap between
architecture and society.
OBJECTIVES
• To study the architectural and design aspects of the museum.
 • To study the visitors experience and circulation pattern in
museum.
• To study the ergonomics of the exhibitions and display units in
art gallery and museum.
• To study the techniques and impacts of lighting in museum.

SCOPE:
Space integration is the most important part of museum plan and
it’s the main scope of work which can be exhibited through
circulation pattern and zoning on sheets. Natural and artificial
lighting is one of the most important aspects of museum planning
that should be catered deeply with studying the effects and design
aspects of it in the museum.
Interior of a museum is an important as the exterior of the museum,
so interior details are very important aspects of the museum design.
Interior design will be the part of the scope of work.
Landscaping and site planning is also one of the aspect which makes
a boring museum into a living being, so landscaping is one of the
major scope of work which can be exhibited through site plan and
landscape details. These scopes of work can identify the limitation of
work.
