One of the best projects by Ar. Revathi Kamath, the Bhopal Tribal Heritage Museum was commissioned by the Government of Madhya Pradesh in 2004 for its tribal population (more than 30% tribal origin). The aim was to create a built fabric inspired by their rich culture with which the communities could identify, and develop it as a space for the expression of their ideas. Its architecture is inspired by the rhythms, geometries, materials, forms, aesthetics and spatial awareness of the tribes, allowing it to integrate harmoniously into its context. The complex trusses of steel rods and crenelated beams rest on walls made of local brick and stone. The roofs are made of tiles, slabs of galvalume and concrete with a covering of grass and earth. This work today plays a key role in the work of tribal artisans.
