The Rove of MAA: A Story of Madras to Chennai

The Rove of Madras is a museum concept that takes visitors on a journey through time, unravelling the story of Madras and its transformation into the bustling metropolis of Chennai. This thesis explores design for the senses as a way of engaging visitors through storytelling. Audio, visual, and interactive installations, use multiple design formats, including patterns, posters, sensory boards, and a publication. From the bustling streets of George Town to the serene Marina Beach, the Rove of Madras is a visual and sensory delight that captures the city’s essence with metaphorical references.
