This document provides an overview of a lecture on architectural conservation. It defines architectural conservation as protecting the material, historical, and design integrity of built heritage through planned interventions. It discusses the different approaches of preservation, conservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Techniques for conserving ancient stone structures like cleaning, consolidating, and protecting with water repellents are outlined. The criteria for selecting sites for the UNESCO World Heritage List are presented, including representing cultural or natural significance or outstanding universal value. Students are assigned to document a visited site and submit a report on a selected Indian monument on the World Heritage List.
HERITAGE- It is not only about built heritage but includes certain distinctive open areas, neighborhoods, and environs
which are of historical, aesthetic,
cultural or sociological interest and
value which we would like to preserve
for the posterity as they enrich our
history and traditions.Heritage characteristics to be
preserved or conserved are
identified as elevational features,
floor heights, cornices, special
carvings designs, motifs,

Sense and Sensitivity in Architecture – The Use of Five Senses in Space makingPremier Publishers
This study intends to look at the importance of the five senses in experiencing a space. The five senses include vision, touch, olfaction, taste and auditory. Architects need to look into how a space interacts with its end user. Architecture is the journey and not just the destination. It’s a whole package of experiencing a space and it’s not just about the architect. In the process of thinking and perception of architecture there is always more importance given to visual senses than the other senses and the problems of contemporary architecture is rooted in visual dominance and may be the result of unbalanced senses system. All our information about our surrounding world is achieved by our senses and this information help us in perception and recognition. A building should bring into perspective all the five senses, thereby giving a three-dimensional angle to the structure. This study also looks at the role of perception of a space for a person who is sensory impaired such as a person with blindness, deafness, dumbness etc. Therefore, we use Phenomenology of Architecture to experience a space through sensory properties.
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.

Challenges in Conservation of Heritage StructuresIJLT EMAS
Rajasthan is the most beautiful and vibrant state of India. The unique characteristic of its architecture is very popular in the whole world. The Rajasthan architecture is significantly depend on Rajput architecture school which was mixture of mughal and Hindu structural design. Grand havelis, astonishing forts and elaborately carved temples are the vital portion of architectural heritage of Rajasthan. Few of most striking and splendid forts along with palaces with parched Aravali land clearly depicts history of Rajasthan's celebrated heritage. Almost every city of the spectacular desert land Rajasthan is lined with fabulous forts and palaces built by various rulers and architects. These forts and palaces were generally built outside the walled city over the high hills to protect the city The state of Rajasthan hosts few of splendid palaces and forts of the whole world. Ornamented havelis, elaborately carved temples and also magnificent forts are section of the Rajasthan's architectural heritage. The artistic builders designed major architectural styles which are located in cities like Jaisalmer, Udaipur, Jaipur and Jodhpur. The most significant architectural designs in Rajasthan include Jantar Mantar, Dilwara Temples, Lake Palace Hotel, and City Palaces, Chittorgarh Fort, Deeg palace and Jaisalmer Havelis. The glory is well conserved in the Rajasthan and in the majestic forts and palaces. Enduring the unmerciful desert winds and oppressing heat of the scorching sun, they have stood unshakable against many-a-sieges and have provided protection to the rulers in their time of conflict. Now, they have been opened to the tourists who come here to see a wonderful presentation of their rich heritage and splendid artistic architecture. Many of these forts and palaces retain their old allure and ritual. Some of the royal residences have been now turned into heritage hotels, where the visitors can still experience the magic of India's imperial past. Important Artifacts of Rajasthan Architecture are: Havelis, Chhatris, Jharokhas, and Stepwells.

A systematic approach towards restoration of heritage buildings a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract Heritage structures perform vital role in nation’s history, culture and signify the richness of it. To augment life and enhance strength, their restoration is very important for the future generations to have knowledge about how mankind lived in past ages. Restoration involves investigating, diagnosing and correcting deficiencies and deterioration of any structure. Identification of common defects and problems faced in old structures and devising a systematic approach towards handling these issues is civil engineer’s obligation. A case study throws light on the various problems encountered and the methods employed to tackle them. This paper focuses on such problems and methodology to handle these problems while respecting structure’s cultural integrity with the help of a case study. It also seeks to highlight the need for a greater awareness and the need to take precautionary measures of the immediate effects, and of the long-term management issues of heritage structures. Index Terms: Heritage structures, defects, evaluation, systematic approach etc.

REVIVING THE PAST :- EXPLORING THE BEAUTY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF RESTORATION ARCHITECTURE
INTRODUCTION
In a world where modernity often takes center stage, there is an undeniable charm in preserving and restoring the architectural gems of the past. Restoration architecture not only revitalizes historical structures but also serves as a bridge between the past and the present. This blog will delve into the fascinating world of restoration architecture, exploring its importance, techniques, and showcasing some remarkable examples from around the globe.
The Significance of Restoration Architecture
Restoration architecture is more than just a preservation effort; it is a commitment to honoring our cultural heritage and understanding the historical context of a place. It goes beyond superficial repairs, aiming to bring back the original character and charm of a structure.
IMPORTANCE OF RESTORATION
Preserving cultural identity :- Restoration architecture plays a pivotal role in maintaining a connection to our cultural roots. By restoring historical buildings, we ensure that the stories embedded in their walls are not lost to time. Sustainable practice :- Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, restoration minimizes the environmental impact. It is a sustainable practice that values existing resources and craftsmanship, contributing to a more eco-friendly approach to architecture. Educational value :- Restored buildings serve as living textbooks, offering valuable lessons about architectural styles, construction techniques, and the historical context in which they were built.
TECHNIQUES IN RESTORATION
Historical research :- Before embarking on any restoration project, thorough historical research is conducted to understand the original design, materials used, and the socio-cultural context of the structure. Conservation philosophy :- Restoration architects adhere to a conservation philosophy that emphasizes retaining as much of the original fabric as possible. This may involve repairing, rather than replacing, elements of the building. Use of traditional materials and craftsmanship :- To maintain authenticity, restoration architects often use traditional materials and craftsmanship techniques. This ensures that the restored structure closely resembles its original form.
Examples of Restoration Architecture
Now, let's explore some noteworthy examples of restoration architecture that have successfully revived historical buildings.
1. THE COLOSSEUM, ROME, ITALY The iconic Colosseum stands as a testament to the success of restoration efforts. Dating back to AD 80, this ancient amphitheater has undergone various phases of restoration to address structural issues caused by natural disasters and human activities. The intricate work carried out on the Colosseum showcases the delicate balance between preserving the original design and ensuring the safety of visitors.w

Adaptive Reuse and Interventions of Chinese Architectural Heritage in the Cit...IEREK Press
In Indonesia, Lasem identities as a China Town are constructed and developed over time, and Chinese architectural heritage is one of the main qualities and identity of the city. Recently, these unique Chinese architectural heritages have been transformed for tourism needs. This paper aims to document the transformation of functions or adaptive reuse, and its impact to forms and meanings of the Chinese architectural heritage of the city, and focuses on whether the interventions occurred was by the principles of architectural conservation. In April 2019, the study surveyed and documented five Chinese historicbuildings in Karangturi area in Lasem to understand how the architectural heritage has transformed. The result shows that tourism has a direct influence on changes in the building functions in Lasem, such as the Oei House and Little China that have changed from residences to homestays to accommodate the needs of tourists lodgings. The other two buildings, namely House of Nyah Giok and Nyah Lasem museum have also changed their functions from residences to a batik home industry and a museum related to tourism attractions. Interventions on the four buildings with sensitive usesare following the principle of minimum intervention that preserved the original main buildings and changed only in the wings buildings, and new buildings for lodgings were infilled in vacant land of the site for the Oei House case. For one building, however, tourism has no direct influence on changes in the building functions, it has changed from a residence to an Islamic boarding school for the development of Islamic education that had nothing to do with preserving Chinese culture. Indirectly, the building remains a tourist destination because of its unique Chinese architectural features. Findings showsthat for the four Chinese owners, the meaning or significance for the adaptation of the building is preserving historic values of the Chinese architecture, and economic values as well by developing commercial spaces and historic areas for tourist attractions

Paper Title
Sustainable Architecture in the United Arab Emirates: Past and Present
Theme
Planning for Sustainable Development
Paper presented to
CAA-IIA International Conference on Urbanisation and Housing
Date
2-5 October 1997
GOA - India
This paper compares aspects of sustainability in vernacular and modern architecture in the United Arab Emirates. In vernacular architecture, sustainability is manifested in the design of buildings, use of materials, environmental and social consciousness. There are indeed many lessons to be learned from vernacular architecture in the area. On the other hand, aspects of sustainability are absent from almost all modern buildings in the region for many reasons: rapid development, use of foreign materials, design methods, and construction systems all contribute to the absence of sustainability in modern buildings. Yet, an important aspect contributing to this situation is absence of building codes and regulations enforcing sustainability in the design and construction of buildings.
The aim of this paper is to illustrate aspects of sustainability in vernacular architecture compared to absence of sustainability in modern buildings in the region and discuss prospects of boosting awareness on several levels. To achieve sustainability in future buildings and environments sustainability should be introduced on the following levels:
1. Building codes and regulations
2. Building construction systems and materials
3. Undergraduate and graduate education
4. Design methods and community participation
The paper concludes with recommendations and proposals to amplify awareness and implementation of sustainability measures in the design, construction, and education of architecture in the region.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION
Architectural conservation describes the process through which the material,
historical, and design integrity of mankind's built heritage are prolonged through
carefully planned interventions.
Architectural conservation deals with issues of prolonging the life and integrity of
architectural character and integrity, such as form and style, and/or its constituent
materials, such as stone, brick, glass, metal, and wood.

Lecture I for Sem X B.Arch, NIT Raipur(C.G.)
4. Preservation/Conservation vs. Restoration
Preservation/Conservation were used interchangeably to refer to the architectural school
of thought that either encouraged measures that would protect and maintain buildings in
their current state, or would prevent further damage and deterioration to them. This
school of thought saw the original design of old buildings as correct in and of themselves.
Two of the main proponents of preservation and conservation in the 19th century were art
critic John Ruskin and artist William Morris.
Restoration was the conservationist school of thought that believed historic buildings could
be improved, and sometimes even completed, using current day materials, design, and
techniques. In this way it's very similar to the Modernist architectural theory, except it
doesn't advocate the destruction of ancient structures. One of the most ardent supporters
of this school of thought in the 19th century was French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_conservation
Lecture I for Sem X B.Arch, NIT Raipur(C.G.)
5. The Department of the Interior of the United States defined the following treatment approaches to architectural
conservation:
Preservation, "places a high premium on the retention of all historic fabric through conservation, maintenance
and repair. It reflects a building's continuum over time, through successive occupancies, and the respectful
changes and alterations that are made.“
Rehabilitation "emphasizes the retention and repair of historic materials, but more latitude is provided for
replacement because it is assumed the property is more deteriorated prior to work. (Both Preservation and
Rehabilitation standards focus attention on the preservation of those materials, features, finishes, spaces, and
spatial relationships that, together, give a property its historic character.“
Adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an old site or building for a purpose other than which it was
built or designed for. Along with brownfield reclamation, adaptive reuse is seen by many as a key factor in land
conservation and the reduction of urban sprawl. However adaptive reuse can become controversial as there is
sometimes a blurred line between renovation, facadism and adaptive reuse. It can be regarded as a
compromise between historic preservation and demolition.
Façadism (or Façadomy) is the practice of demolishing a building but leaving its facade intact for the
purposes of building new structures in it or around it.
Restoration "focuses on the retention of materials from the most significant time in a property's history, while
permitting the removal of materials from other periods.“
Reconstruction, "establishes limited opportunities to re-create a non-surviving site, landscape, building,
structure, or object in all new materials."

6. CONSERVATION TECHNIQUES: ANCIENT STONE STRUCTURES
Most ancient buildings are constructed of stone and have survived from antiquity as a result of
the stability of this building material. However, stone can deteriorate rapidly without
protection, particularly in our modern era of pollution and climate change.
Architect Susan Rebano-Edwards details a simple technique for preserving stone in ancient
building structures. She supports treatment that is effective in stopping deterioration and
durable in its protective effort while changing the appearance of stone as little as possible. It
should be simple to apply, and comparatively inexpensive and reversible.[14]
The process is as follows:
1. Clean the material with soft brushes to remove ingrained dirt. Do not use dust cloths. If dirt
is extensive, use a paste jelly formula such as EDTA ammonium carbonate.
2. Wash with distilled water by brushing, spraying or by immersion or paper pulp method on
stones showing symptoms of salting.
3. Sterilize by brushing or spraying with a minimum 25% to 36% hydrogen peroxide stones
affected by presence of organic growths such as mosses and lichens.
4. Consolidate by brushing, spraying or injecting (or by impregnating, filling, grouting, jointing
or pin dowel adhesive) on very dry stone using a consolidant such as Rinforzante H or ethyl
silicate for siliceous stone (granite, sandstone). Consolidation is recommended when the
cohesive strength of stone has weakened and there is a need to consolidate or bind together
the disintegrated material.
5. Gap filling, replacement and/or retouching of missing parts.
6. In appropriate circumstances, water repellents may be applied. Spray or brush protective
films or water repellents on stone affected by chemical integration and biological attack.
Common protectants are waxes, acrylic and silicon resins.

7. The Criteria for Selection
To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must be of outstanding universal
value and meet at least one out of ten selection criteria. These criteria are explained in
the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage
Convention which, besides the text of the Convention, is the main working tool on
World Heritage. The criteria are regularly revised by the Committee to reflect the
evolution of the World Heritage concept itself.
Until the end of 2004, World Heritage sites were selected on the basis of six cultural
and four natural criteria. With the adoption of the revised Operational Guidelines for
the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention, only one set of ten criteria
exists.

8. Selection criteria:
i. to represent a masterpiece of human creative genius;
ii. to exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a
cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental
arts, town-planning or landscape design;
iii. to bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization
which is living or which has disappeared;
iv. to be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological
ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history;
v. to be an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use
which is representative of a culture (or cultures), or human interaction with the
environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible
change;
vi. to be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with
beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance. (The
Committee considers that this criterion should preferably be used in conjunction with
other criteria);
vii. to contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty and
aesthetic importance;

9. Selection criteria:
viii. to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the
record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms,
or significant geomorphic or physiographic features;
ix. to be outstanding examples representing significant on-going ecological and biological
processes in the evolution and development of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and
marine ecosystems and communities of plants and animals;
x. to contain the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conservation of
biological diversity, including those containing threatened species of outstanding
universal value from the point of view of science or conservation.
xi. The protection, management, authenticity and integrity of properties are also important
considerations.
xii. Since 1992 significant interactions between people and the natural environment have
been recognized as cultural landscapes
