The essence of the cold desert's built forms is captured through multi-media exhibits. Displaying the spatial configuration and structural detailing as a direct response to the region's climate, topography, and cultural parameters. The exhibits include scaled 2-dimensional drawings, photographs, 3-dimensional models, and a media centre playing stimulations of the traditional wisdom translated into 21st-century buildings.
