Heritage needs to be respected, preserved and promoted by making value addition.
AN APPROACH TO CONSERVATION OF BUILT HERITAGE - DELHI MASTER PLAN PROVISIONS.Purushottam Uttarwar
Urban Development and Conservation of Built Heritage are two sides of a same coin in a historic city like Delhi.Delhi is an ancient city with rich historical mile stones and heritage. Historically Delhi has been a capital city for many dynasties and rulers. Each ruler and dynasty left its impression and foot prints in the form of monuments, heritage buildings and capital complexes. The rulers have been conscious of Delhi’s past. Their desire to protect the past has influenced protection and conservation of built heritage. Archaeological survey and Public Works Department of British India began this task in the later 19th century and after independence ASI has become protector of India’s heritage. At a later date Master Plan documents attempted to make provisions for protection and conservation of built heritage. Right from the first Master Plan of Delhi 1962 to the Master Plan of Delhi 2021, each document contributed and perfected conceptual frame work, approach and policies for protection and conservation of monuments in Delhi.c. Master Plan for Delhi -2001: In the second Master Plan the aspect of conservation is dealt under a different subheads. Environment is section that talks about the conservation of the walled city. The section on Special Areas also mentions restoring the glory of the Walled City. Urban villages, which are an important component of the heritage are under the section of Shelter, it rightly mentions that heritage development should be a part of the overall development. The Master Plan was in accordance with the conservation thought of the day. Due to scattered scheme of conservation thoughts, implementation was a difficult task.
In the 90’s, MCD and NDMC published lists of buildings, which were ‘Protected’. In absence of any legislation or procedures, these monuments remained protected theoretically only.
Understand the expression of identity as part of socio-cultural sustainability
Identify the different types and levels of identity expressions
Discuss examples of projects incorporating socio-cultural identity in the design
The paper analyzes the architecture of two regions in South-East Asia namely Kashmir, a state in Northern India, and Bhutan, a country located on the southern slopes of the Eastern Himalayas to challenge the uncritical adoption of values and building techniques associated with Western architecture, often inappropriate for climate and local labor, to question the notion of benefit from the perspective of sustainability. In doing so it seeks to support the cause of vernacular Architecture and also further its incorporation in contemporary sustainable building design.
The document summarizes the history of conservation planning and green infrastructure in the United States from the 1850s to the present. It discusses key events, people, and ideas that have shaped the field over time, including the establishment of national parks, growth of regional planning, development of new tools and disciplines like GIS and conservation biology, and more recent focus on landscape-scale planning and green infrastructure to guide development.

This document discusses several case studies of urban heritage projects in India that demonstrate good practices in conservation and management. It highlights four key categories: 1) Developing institutional infrastructure like heritage cells within local governments; 2) Integrating heritage into urban planning frameworks like master plans; 3) Revitalizing heritage areas through urban renewal focused on economic regeneration and upgrading environments; and 4) Engaging communities through participatory mapping and awareness programs. Example projects described include conservation efforts in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, heritage management planning in Jaipur, urban renewal initiatives in Pondicherry and Muziris, and community mapping in West Bengal. The document emphasizes the importance of recognizing heritage as an asset, integrating it into urban planning, and
The document discusses four case studies on the adaptive reuse of historic buildings and structures based on different schools of thought. It focuses on the restoration of the Bhaudaji Lad Museum in Mumbai and the adaptive reuse of traditional pol houses in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The pol houses showcase the rich culture and traditions of the past but now face issues due to modernization. The case study proposes sensitively adapting the structures for new uses while preserving original fabric to promote heritage conservation and generate funds for maintenance. This allows the buildings to be sustainably reused in a way that benefits both inhabitants and preservation of cultural heritage.
This document explains how techniques of planning can be used to create a conservation plan for a heritage zone. It discusses using GIS mapping, basemaps, surveys, zoning maps, land use maps, SWOT analysis, and circulation/utilities planning. It also addresses transfer of development rights, public-private partnerships, and implementation/monitoring through local residents and NGOs. The goal is to balance urbanization with conservation of older areas as cultural heritage zones.
POTENTIAL OF HERITAGE TOURISM IN CHENNAI- A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HERITAGE BUI...IAEME Publication
India is having one of the oldest civilization on the planet, known for its own diversity of great culture, heritage, folklores, arts, traditions, rituals, monuments. Chennai is being one of the important metro city, developments with city plans and its sustainable initiatives with the environment conservation. The primary focus of the paper is to identify the of the current state of affairs on the heritage buildings in chennai and the ways to redefine and preserve the architecture.
Conservation of the Urban Heritage to Conserve the Sense of Place, a Case Stu...drboon
The sense of place can only be achieved if the urban heritage is still intact and preserved whilst accommodating for new development. In the past Misurata city center where the traditional areas and historical significance are located did not have any positive consideration and appreciation from government which, were destroyed to build a new commercial buildings within business district area of city center. This paper intends to highlight on urban heritage "historical significance & activity pattern" that still survive in the city center of Misurata and reflects the sense of place. The study adapted the visual survey field method for data collection and this approach adopted techniques namely photograph and diagrams or maps. The results of the study indicate that there are some urban areas and buildings with historical or traditional significance and conducive sense of belonging and identity that must be renewed, restored, reused and conserved; for instance the marketplace, Allfah Square and the old city center.
Heritage conservation aims to preserve structures, artifacts, and sites that are historically, culturally, or architecturally significant. The document discusses several key points about heritage conservation in India:
1. Heritage structures are classified into different grades based on their historic significance - from World Heritage Sites and national monuments protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, to state and locally protected sites.
2. Conservation aims to retain a structure's cultural significance through preservation, restoration, reconstruction, or adaptation while using original materials where possible.
3. Stakeholders like owners, governments, and the public must respect heritage and ensure its proper maintenance, repair, documentation, interpretation and management according to conservation policy.
The document discusses issues and challenges related to architectural conservation in Malaysia. It examines common issues like environmental, organizational, human, financial, and technical challenges. Organizational issues include opposing conservation philosophies, confusing laws and guidelines, and a lack of standardized conservation methods. Case studies compare conservation approaches in Penang and Klang, finding that street art is poorly maintained in Klang due to neglect. UNESCO, the National Heritage Department, and non-profits help support conservation, but face challenges of standardized implementation and public awareness. Overall, the document aims to understand conservation issues in Malaysia and identify solutions through comparative analysis.
What is heritage, and why is it importantangelgate
This webinar covers heritage and how communities can get involved in heritage projects. It discusses what heritage is, examples of heritage, and why heritage is an important community asset. It provides guidance on planning heritage projects, steps to avoid failure, asset transfers, and increasing community involvement. A case study on a community heritage project is presented, along with resources and further reading.
This document discusses the need for sustainable experimental architecture to consider socio-cultural aspects through a theoretical framework. It argues that most current experiments focus on economic and environmental factors but lack guidance on social and cultural impacts. It recommends evaluating projects based on these three variables and developing studies grounded in an understanding of identity, society, family, personal levels to better address a specific culture. Experiments should not subject cultural heritage to arbitrary changes due to its unique values. Qatar is described as a laboratory for architectural experiments currently lacking scientific theoretical guidance.
IRJET- Adaptive Reuse- A Case of Lal Baradari, LucknowIRJET Journal
This document summarizes an academic paper about the adaptive reuse of the Lal Baradari building in Lucknow, India. It provides background on adaptive reuse and principles of conservation. It then discusses the Lal Baradari building specifically, which was originally used for coronations and assemblies by rulers of Oudh. The document explores potential adaptive reuse strategies for energizing the currently underdeveloped building as an alternative to demolition, while respecting its historic and cultural significance.
Architecture is the platform where all cultures, heritages, traditions, and histories meet, through architectural conservation, the built heritage is prolonged and conserved by the planning of individuals or organisations that works solely for the purpose of conservation & preservation of Architectural heritage.
Conservation is not just a result of few years but work and dedication of centuries. With every good, there certainly follows bad but focusing on the positives and addressing the bad is what drives us to the future; in this case the future for our past.
The document discusses the preservation of cultural heritage and provides examples from Germany of integrated conservation approaches. It describes how the 1975 European Year of Preservation of Monuments marked a shift towards involving local communities in decisions and renewing historic areas in a way that maintains social diversity. The IBA in Berlin in the 1980s pioneered "careful urban renewal" through community participation and gradual improvements. Leipzig's "Guardian Buildings" program addresses vacant historic structures by having tenants take responsibility for upkeep in exchange for low rents.
HERITAGE MANAGEMENT AND THE EMERGING CHALLENGES IN HERITAGE PRESERVATION IN I...Arnab Gantait
The document discusses heritage management and preservation challenges in the Indian context. It finds that while heritage management has recognized India's cultural significance, more needs to be done for preservation. Key challenges include lack of recognition, supervision and funding of heritage sites, as well as issues like encroachment, pollution, and improper management. Suggestions are made to strengthen awareness campaigns, lobbying efforts, and incentives to private owners to help overcome gaps and minimize challenges to better preserve India's cultural heritage.

This document provides a comparative analysis of social activities between Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in Shanghai, China and Kawasan 1 in Klang, Malaysia. It finds that while necessary activities like shopping and eating are similar, Nanjing Road sees more optional activities due to better quality public spaces and outdoor conditions. These include activities like sightseeing, games, and socializing in public squares. In contrast, optional activities in Kawasan 1 mainly occur indoors due to lack of public spaces and hot weather. As a result, social interactions are more frequent on Nanjing Road where the environment better supports necessary and optional activities.
Heritage remains muted, diluted and marginalized, in the parlance of urban planning, development and management, which has led to loss of large volume of valuable built heritage in the country over the period of time. India with history spanning over 5000 years has created enormous wealth of heritage, which unfortunately, has not been identifies and quantified. Despite having distinct advantage of being the oldest civilization on this planet earth, India as a nation sufferers from the malady of the lack of capacity, resources and willingness to conserve, preserve, and manage heritage. Haphazard and unplanned development has led to large scale misuse and abuse of the heritage. Lack of adequate capacity and willingness at the local level has led to destruction of the heritage on large scale. In- adequate availability of the qualified manpower in the domain of the heritage management has done lot of damage to all kinds of heritage available in the country. Lack of resources and low priority accorded t heritage has led to marginalization of heritage. Existing Legal framework has done more damage than good to promote the heritage. Ignoring the cultural heritage at the altar of built heritage ,has led to losing the context of intangible cultural heritage. Divorcing heritage from communities and making it a state-led program has led to non-involvement of communities. Policy framework put in place has also led to heritage losing its importance in the parlance of heritage management. Limited use of technology has also contributed to marginalization of all efforts involved in identification, mapping, conservation and preservation of heritage. It is time when all parastatal agencies have to put in its best foot forward to help achieve the objective of identification and preservation of valuable heritage before it is lost to prosperity. Nation/states need to relook at the issue of heritage in a holistic manner and evolve rational policies and program which comprehensively looks at the issue of conservation and preservation of heritage. Leveraging heritage has enormous potential in leveraging economy, generating employment, removing poverty and making human settlements smart and sustainable. For promoting planned development in urban areas, master plans/development plans prepared for human settlements should include and involve the identification of heritage and suggest options for its management. Unless and until heritage is made integral part of the planning process, India will continue to lose valuable heritage. Role of urban planning assumes importance in the context of heritage management.

It covers 5 modules that discuss: 1) the history of town planning from ancient Greek/Roman to modern times, 2) influential town planners and approaches, 3) elements of residential and commercial planning, 4) development rules and infrastructure, and 5) rural planning approaches. The document also outlines various principles of town planning such as zoning, housing, transportation, and green spaces. Town planning in ancient India is explored through settlement patterns from the Vedic period through Mughal rule.
Presentation looks at the role, relevance and importance of the cities in polluting environment, generating waste, consuming energy, creating large footprints of buildings and making cities unsustainable. Presentation looks at the issues, genesis of problems of sustainability and suggest options to make them environment friendly, energy/resource efficient, making value addition to environment and ecology and to become a serious partner in making planet earth more liveable and sustainable.
Beijing's historic hutongs are being destroyed through aggressive urban renewal projects. Between 1990 and 1998, 4.2 million square meters of housing in the old city of Beijing was demolished. By 2006, a third of the 62 square kilometer area that makes up the central part of the old city had been destroyed. The hutongs are an integral part of Beijing's culture and urban design but are seen as economically unviable due to their substandard housing and lack of modern amenities. However, preserving the hutongs through tourism initiatives could provide long term economic benefits to the city.
The document summarizes a presentation on developing sustainable comprehensive plans. It discusses emerging sustainability issues and trends, defines sustainability, and provides examples of sustainable comprehensive plans. It then outlines how sustainability can be integrated into the typical comprehensive planning process, including outreach, analysis, plan development, and implementation. Finally, it presents a case study of the Union County Comprehensive Plan, providing background on the county and how sustainability was incorporated.
Challenges of Sustainable Development in Qatar and the World 1Galala University
The document discusses sustainable development in Qatar and the challenges it faces. It begins with an activity where participants define what sustainable development means to them in their respective fields. It then discusses definitions of sustainable development and the three pillars of environment, economy and social equity. Challenges facing Qatar are discussed, including population growth, limited resources, urban development issues and upcoming projects like the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Solutions discussed include Qatar's Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy and improve standards of living through pillars of economic, social, human and environmental development.
The document provides an introduction to the concepts of resource management. It discusses the evolution of the field from focusing on specific resources like agriculture and forestry to a more comprehensive approach. It also outlines the major approaches to resource management including the spatial, ecological, economic, technological, and ethnological approaches. The spatial approach examines resource allocation and use from a geographic perspective. The ecological approach bases allocation on understanding ecosystem components and relationships. The economic approach aims to achieve efficiency through cost-benefit analysis. Technological advances can enhance economic approaches by increasing production. The ethnological approach incorporates cultural factors and public participation into allocation decisions.
TIK - the path to food security , sustainability and safetyshalinisehgal12
1) Transferable Indigenous Knowledge (TIK) refers to traditional knowledge for disaster risk reduction that is indigenous to a specific region but can be applied elsewhere.
2) TIK is based on experience tested over long periods of time and adapted to local culture and environment. Examples of TIK from Japan include ring dikes and flood houses.
3) There are challenges to transferring TIK between communities, such as determining what principles and methods to transfer, and how to document and share TIK through workshops, databases, and linking to modern technology.
The document discusses the public realm as sustainable design. It defines the public realm as any accessible space like parks, plazas, and streets. Historically, public open spaces became integral to city planning in the 1800s-1930s as a reaction to overcrowded cities. Sustainable design considers social, economic, and environmental factors. Examples of sustainable public spaces given are Central Park in New York and parks in Sydney post-Olympics. Rating systems can be used to measure sustainability but should not override good design. Equal access to green space improves quality of life.
Heritage remains most valuable asset inherited by human beings and communities from nature and society. Known as built and natural , heritage needs to be preserved, conserved, valued and promoted. Promoting heritage needs understanding of its origin, fabric, structure and the context. Considering the same it needs to be protected with appropriate sensitivity and understanding. Heritage hold enormous potential in leveraging, economy, generating employment, reducing poverty and making society culturally rich and vibrant. Unfortune heritage in India is not valued and is grossly misused, abused, manipulated and commercialized. Manpower remains low and the capacity , capability and willingness to identify, manage and promote remains marginalised. India , as a nation, house enormous wealth of heritage with history spanning over 5,000 years need to identify and create capacity to preserve, promote and make value addition to its valuable heritage. It will help in not only creating awareness but will also help in promoting environment and ecology

8. Review
“Portability is a challenge that architecture has always had to
confront. In the present age of digital nomadism, the art of
building, with its traditional focus on immobility in fixed
places, finds itself confronted by the temptation to
relinquish its characteristics rootedness and to abandon
itself to the irresistible pull of portability. Portable
architecture serves to enhance the freedom of choice for the
individual and the flexible use of city space, and also to offer
city dwellers the potential to give meaning to their
environment. It might be a building, a landscape, a sculpture
yet usable object or an interior space. It can be any human-
made environment that is brought into existence in a specific
place for a limited time- though its impact may continue for
much longer. Unlike conventional buildings, portable ones
are designed to take movability into account. When their
value at a particular place is expended, redeployment, rather
than destruction, is their key feature.”
9. Preface, New Portable Architecture(book)
• Lightness, transience and practicality are the characteristics of
potable architecture.
• Portability serves to enhance the freedom of choice of the
individual and the flexible use of city scape.
• The idea of portability not only serves to describe the way
constructions would serve the changing needs of cities and
their inhabitants, but also to show how cities can have a
networked relationship with each other.
• Nomadic way of life is once again getting dominant.
• Portability is a challenge that architecture has always had to
confront.
• Portable buildings are low-cost and this building type is an
important part of mainstream architectural development and
will continue to be so in future.
conclusion
Portability still remains a challenge to
be Accepted throughout the world. The
world Is changing technologically,
socially, economically and culturally;
and portability is a solution to various
problems being faced today. Being low
cost, it can also be of help to
youngsters and mediocre families. The
process of portable architecture may be
different but the output remains similar
or many times better than the
conventional ones.

12. Conclusions on basis of research
papers and case study
The objectives and scope of prefabricated buildings are as jotted
below:-
1. To reduce the construction time and it’s cost.
2. To minimize the wastes and make it environment friendly.
3. To replace the traditional or conventional way of construction with
modern tools and technique.
4. To build light weight building and make earthquake resistant and
resistant to adverse climate.
5. To minimize the in-site construction.
6. To minimize the use of aggregates, bricks, rebars, cement,
aggregates and excessive water.
Necessity to adopt Prefabrication Method: to develop the nation in
minimum time, minimum cost without disturbing the environment
13. • Reduction of construction time (20%), reduction
of construction waste (56%), and reduction of
dust and noise on-site, as well as labour required
on-site (9.5%)
• 70% reduction in waste relative to site-intensive
concrete construction was estimated
• Over a 50 year life span LCA( life cycle
assessment) of modular and conventional
housing (floor area of 135 m2 in each case), it
was found that the conventional home produced
2.5 times more construction waste than the
modular home; additionally, the latter had 5%
less total life cycle energy consumption and 5%
less global warming potential than the former
due to higher air tightness
14. 1.i) C) Foldable spaces
- A space that can be transformed
So as to significantly change its
size
15. • as time changes, our needs
changes, and our design
needs to be transformable
according to time
• This is more of interior part
of any space
• This can be done by using
foldable furniture or sliding
elements or multipurpose
elements
• The main idea behind this is
to use minimum space for
placing objects that are to
be used for human comfort
and keeping the entire
structure light weight
17. • also known as "Paradise Unexplored"
• comprises eight states – Arunachal

20. Introduction on Tourism
• It involves activities of persons travelling to and staying in
places outside their usual environment for leisure,
business and other purposes.
• Basically, affected by natural urge of human beings for
new experiences, entertainment and education.
• Earlier, tourism was confined to traditions and culture of
any place.
• Trends in tourism have now changed with changing
desires of travellers changing the focus from traditional
and cultural spaces to nature and adventure.
• People prefer exploring and trying something new.
• It is among the top 10 sectors in India to attract the
highest foreign direct investment
• Domestic travellers are expected to contribute around
84.7% to total tourism revenues by 2024.

22. Effects of Tourism
• Social
• Economical
• Lifestyle
• Overall development of an area
23. Why North-east ?
• Land of undulating hills and plains with
luxuriant green cover and a wide variety or
rare and exotic flora and fauna
• unexplored
• highest number of domestic visitors
• covers 5 segments of tourism that are rural
tourism, Adventure tourism, Wellness
tourism, religious and medical tourism.
• Most preferable area in domestic tourism
• less availability of land for construction,
reducing forest area, disaster prone areas,
etc.
• Need of a sustainable idea
24. Investments in Tourism
Accommodation -
• Forest lodges.
• Tented accommodation.
• Tourist complexes / tourist lodges.
• Wayside amenities.
• Restaurants.
• Tourist reception centers.
• Pilgrim sheds / dormitories, etc. at pilgrimage centers.
Tourist transport -
• Mini-buses, jeeps, elephants, etc. for wild life viewing.
• Cruise boats, ferry launchers, etc. for water transport.
• Tourist coaches in selected circuits.
• Special tourist trains.
Road construction Package system
25. Reasons behind slow progress of North- East
tourism/ weak points of North- East tourism
• Unfulfilled expectations: Tourists expect to get a real life experience while visiting
North-East but they are actually taken to a few cities, shown some of the scenic
landscapes, given a hotel by the side of a valley to stay and shown sunrise or sunset
from some high points.
• Weak road links: Most of the areas of the region are not well linked with roads and
highways that makes reaching to a place from another difficult.
26. • Less infrastructure: Due to non-availability of land for
construction and a disaster prone area, the number of
hotels/ resorts are very less in number. Around 69% of
foreign and 77% of domestic tourist generally visits
the region within six-month span of autumn and
winter season.
• Conventional methods: Construction of hotels/
resorts using brick and concrete does not only affect
surrounding environment, but, is also risky to be built
in a disaster prone area. Landslides, earthquake,
flood, etc. are very common in this region.
Constructing a brick and concrete structure is a short
term investment as the material after destruction
can’t be reused. The structure also turns to be heavy
and can also lead to death of a person stuck inside.
27. 3) Concern
A PPF space can be a solution for the problem being faced by
North east region and tourism sector. This study focuses on
studying and analysing the impacts of a portable space in North
East and North East tourism.
28. 4) PPF space
Effects of Pre-fabricated space:
• Reduction of construction time (20%), reduction of construction
waste (56%), and reduction of dust and noise on-site, as well as
labour required on-site (9.5%)
• 70% reduction in waste relative to site-intensive concrete
construction was estimated
• Over a 50 year life span LCA (life cycle assessment) of modular
and conventional housing (floor area of 135 m2 in each case), it
was found that the conventional home produced 2.5 times
more construction waste than the modular home; additionally,
the latter had 5% less total life cycle energy consumption and
5% less global warming potential than the former due to higher
air tightness.
A PPF space is an amalgamation of three kinds of spaces: portable, pre-fabricated and transformable
space. These spaces are to be used as an alternative to hotels/resorts and transportation.
29. Characteristics of a PPF space (on basis of literature
review and case studies of portable, pre-fabricated and
foldable spaces)
• Easy availability.
• Light weight for easy handling and transport, and to economies on sections and sizes of
foundation.
• Thermal insulation property.
• Easy workability.
• Durability in all weather conditions.
• Non-combustibility.
• Economical
• Sound insulation.
• Sustainable
• Space can be transformed every time according to client’s need.
• If the structure is destroyed, the material can be reused
• Chances of death of a person stuck inside during any calamity is reduced
30. Structure of a PPF space
The structure uses the idea of providing all the facilities in minimum area in most comfortable way.
The structure can be made vernacular by using the most available material in the region i.e. bamboo.
Outer skin of the structure can be made using bamboo fitted on a steel frame that may provide
strength to the structure needed during movement. The controlling cabin is permanently attached to
the structure. The resting area is the one that can be transformed according to the need of hour. This
structure can be run by using CNG or electrical equipment.
31. Impacts of a PPF space
• Tourism sector will only need to focus on construction of such structures and roads.
• Travelling in a region with less facilities would become easier.
• As more number of such spaces will be introduced, more people will get employed for various
works such as construction, driving, etc.
• Tourists will be able to access interior areas of the states where construction is not allowed or not
possible.
• This may improve the connection between the people of North- East and the incoming ones.
• Due to more interaction, people of North- east may get knowledge of advancements coming in
today’s life that may help them to progress in their routine life.
• Having a space that can access any area will let tourists explore the region more and more without
any tension of climate, animals or searching a shelter.
• During any calamity, people will be able to move from one place to another easily.
• Availability of new jobs or a better connection with outer world may help in making the socio-
economic conditions of the region better.
• Use of vernacular materials will keep the structure eco-friendly
32. 5) Scope
• If feasible, these spaces can act as an alternative of conventional hotels,
resorts and various vehicles used while travelling.
• These spaces can help in transforming today’s North East tourism industry
into a new and better one, where less investments and efforts can give
better results in all aspects.
• Introduction of these spaces in tourism industry will also help in regional
development.
• These spaces can be used during the time of calamity.
• These can also be used as a proper residence by the people.
33. Limitation
• Module designing is not included in this study. There can be
further study on designing different modules as per
requirements.
• This study does not specify the success rate of portable
( portable, foldable and prefabricated) spaces in North east
tourism or the percentage of people using it.
34. 6) Why not vanity vans or camper vans ?
• Made using the outer skin of automobile
• Costly
• Non-attractive
• Non-affordable for middle class
