5.  Retain visual identity
In a globalising world, where visual spaces are
rapidly becoming homogenised, it is necessary to
retain the specific visual identity of a place created
by the presence of unprotected architectural
heritage and sites.
 Adaptive re-use
The re-use of historic buildings and
neighbourhoods is economically sensible. It is an
effective strategy to conserve architectural
heritage, particularly by using traditional
craftspeople in the process.

6.  Restoration/ Replication/ Rebuilding
Restoration is an appropriate conservation strategy
to reinstate the integrity or complete the fractured
‘whole’ of the architectural heritage/ site. It must
aim to convey the meaning of the heritage in the
most effective manner.
 Employment generation
Conservation strategy must focus on the potential
for employing local raj mistris, labour and
materials because this will prolong the economic
viability of traditional ways of building.

7.  Sustainability
The objective of conservation should be to
sustain the building and/or the traditional skill
and knowledge system of building. In this
context, continuity must be seen as evolving
over time.
