An exhibition hall (Global village), with a long wall of a collage of personalities, culture of the world, and independent tree like
abstract installation holding 192 panels of each country with well researched data
world atlas, corresponding to GMT.
Thus they not only become lighting
and visual features but also
informative ones. Glossy flooring
reflects this lighting and enhances its
spread. The 60-feet-long wall creates
the backdrop of faces and attire of
people from round the world,
depicting the diversity of culture and
places. Three-dimensional self-lit
cubical protrusions from this plane
are the photos and information on
100 personalities of the world that
have left their mark on humanity.
These are people who will serve as
role models. Touch-screen kiosks and
remote switches make their
operations interactive as well.
Interactive panels, consisting of models, puzzles, kinetic sculptures, digital displays and
do it yourself experiments based on the curriculum of each class
Similarly at IFF, every classroom and
laboratory is provided with wall
installations based on the specific
curriculum and course contents of
the given standard. These
installations — in the form of 16-feetlong
panels, each consisting of
models, charts, puzzles, kinetic
sculptures, digital displays and do-ityourself
experiments — offer value
additions to a neutral space. They
serve as learning and teaching tools
in addition to being visual interest
elements. They also act as stimuli to
trigger initiatives from students and
teachers alike and help inculcate a
spirit of learning among pupils.
Interactive panels in dance, music, humanities and other laboratories
