Description

There must be a generation of awareness for built environmentel heritage when we are heedless about the future of the past and unconversant with the cultural loss in thoughtless destruction. Town's past, present and future must combine to create a recognisable unit, so that its growth can be seen and felt to be continuous. In old buildings change is inevitable, but it should be allied with conservation so as to enhance rather than diminish character and environmental quality THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IS A LIVING RECORD OF A COUNTRY'S SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

Conservation is a means of keeping alive and a method of ensuring continuity to a building. Conservation is a definite method of preserving, developing and enhancing areas rather than allowing them to go into stagnation.

OLD BUILDINGS CULTURAL SY BOLS ARE AN IMPORTANT AND MOVING PART OF THE SOCIAL DOCUMENTARIES OF THE COUNTRY, A FACINATING STORY OF CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT OVER SEVERAL YEARS One cannot allow these documents to get in ruins. Each place has got its own identity. By destroying the character and identity of a place, it becomes crippled.
