Conservation of Historical buildings


The historic buildings stand tall and stand apart from the other contemporary buildings. Their architectural designs depict the era they were built in and is considered a marvel by onlookers. Is the material used to fabricate the building different from what we use now? Buildings like those are not built today though we know that they have more resistance and look much better.

In order to preserve these monuments the government has issued restrictions on demolishing, altering or repairing these buildings. A committee is appointed which decides whether a building needs alterations and to what extent.

Care is taken that historical evidences are not destroyed as they tell us the story of our ancestors and prove their existence. Every country has a story to tell and this story portrays the cultural association and resurgence of every country.

Restoration and re-integration of details and features occurs frequently and is based upon respect for original material, archaeological evidence, original design and authentic documents.

Replacement of missing or dilapidated parts should integrate harmoniously with the whole but it should be distinguishable from the original so that restoration does not falsify archaeological or historical evidence.

The heritage buildings laid the foundations of our existence and the rich cultural dynasty. People traveling from all over come and visit these picturesque marvels hence it is important to take appropriate encumbrance so that these buildings survive for the years to come.

  1. I think this is true: "The heritage buildings laid the foundations of our existence and the rich cultural dynasty. People travelling from all over come and visit these picturesque marvels". The debate is always pragmatism and development at all cost Vs preservation of historically important values.

    We go over and over the same issues in my city, Melbourne. See Architecture & History Forums and all the other discussions in Walking Melbourne http://www.walkingmelbourne.com/forum/

    Good luck with the battle :)
