Port Heritage Museum at Indenture Memorial Complex - Kolkata
A museum that archives the built history of the oldest colonial Port in India and the story of migration of indentured labourers across plantation colonies. The weathered steel facade is an indexed grid of a labourer’s sleeping module inside the ship. It addresses both the material memory of the site and the human memory of labour migration. It translates scale - making infrastructure and the intimacy of displacement visible together.

AUR (Architecture) along with Dronah (Exhibition Design) has designed the Port Heritage Museum with the Kolkata Port Trust. The museum is currently under construction on top of a 19th century dry dock along the Hooghly waterfront in Kolkata.

The exterior facade distills the spatial logic of the indentured labourers’ sleeping berths within the ship’s hull into an architectural register. During the voyage, bodies were packed into compressed compartments—standardized and fixed. The façade translates this condition of enforced proximity into an indexed grid, transforming the ergonomics of confinement into an architectural datum.

Constructed in weathered steel, the exterior resonates with the patina of existing and adjacent industrial port structures, implanting the building within the material memory of the site. A rigorous orthogonal armature—horizontal and vertical members in weathered steel—organizes the facade, with inset steel back panels completing the assembly. On the subsidiary volumes, this tectonic vernacular is recalibrated at a finer grain, producing a denser texture while maintaining formal continuity across the ensemble.
