The contribution of steam technology in the industrialisation and development of the railways in India is highly significant. Conceived as an initiative of the National Rail Museum, New Delhi, the purpose of the project was to develop a master plan for India’s first working museum dedicated to steam locomotives. The project envisaged transforming the oldest metre-gauge loco shed at Rewari, Northern Railway, into a modern, attractive and world-class steam centre and heritage museum, knowledge centre, and a functional maintenance depot of MG & BG steam locos. The scope included the preparation of a master plan for civil and architecture sub-projects and for steam loco maintenance facilities. The design incorporated the restoration and reuse of the 19th-century shed, architectural interventions to create museum and working spaces, as well as landscaped areas for visitors to the working museum. The design language enhanced the rugged industrial nature of the site and its cultural context, employing the reuse of industrial materials such as old shipping containers, railway sleepers, concrete, grit, flagstones, and metal sections. Deeply rooted in the Indian context, the scheme drew on historical and archival cues from steam travel in India. The project involved measured drawings, condition assessment, development of architectural, interior, wayfinding, museum layout and landscape proposals, as well as preparation of good-for-construction drawings as part of the master plan.
