Explore the architectural heritage of Lucknow through touch.
The 3D Printed Model of Rumi Darwaza (24 Inch) recreates one of Lucknow’s most recognizable historic gateways as a detailed tactile model designed for inclusive learning, heritage education, exhibitions, and display.
The model reproduces prominent architectural elements of Rumi Darwaza, including its large central arched gateway, ornamental arch detailing, symmetrical side structures, smaller arches, parapets, and vertical decorative elements. Its three-dimensional construction allows learners to explore the overall form and architectural arrangement from different directions.
For blind and low-vision learners, a physical model can make architectural concepts that are difficult to understand through photographs or drawings more tangible. Users can explore the gateway through touch to develop a better understanding of its shape, proportions, openings, elevations, and spatial arrangement.
Designed for Tactile Exploration
The raised architectural details and three-dimensional structure encourage hands-on exploration. Learners can trace the central arch, surrounding decorative forms, side sections, openings, edges, and different levels of the structure.
This can support:
- Tactile exploration and spatial understanding
- Inclusive history and heritage education
- Understanding architectural forms through touch
- Classroom discussions about Indian monuments and architecture
- Museum and exhibition accessibility
- Experiential learning for blind, low-vision and sighted learners
