The document discusses the damage to architectural heritage structures in Gujarat from the 2001 Bhuj earthquake. It found that approximately 10,000 (two-thirds) of the 15,000 heritage structures in the region were destroyed or extensively damaged. The structures range from exceptional quality Type I structures to those with group value (Type III). The architecture was influenced by Indus Valley, Hindu, Jain, Muslim, and British colonial styles. A survey of 494 structures after the earthquake found most (90%) were affected, with more damage to older structures in Kachchh district. The performance of traditional wood-frame structures provided lessons in earthquake resistance.
