HERITAGE
HERITAGE 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
CONSERVATION history and traditions
CONSERVATION
Conserving and preserving the
Heritage of our historical possession
in its pristine and original form, so
that it continues to portray its original
beauty, distinctive character, unique
style or use or association with a
distinctive historical personality or
PRECINCTS event.
Heritage characteristics to be
preserved or conserved are
identified as elevational features,
HERITAGE floor heights, cornices, special
carvings designs, motifs,
architectural style, roof-scape
etc.
PRECINTS
A neighbourhood or an area which has
CONSERVATION buildings of more or less similar
character, Style or Features, etc. and
which collectively have a group value of
special features. These provide a unique
and distinctive character to such
neighbourhood or area as a whole and
need to be preserved.
PRECINCTS Examples are- Old village
settlements like khotachi Wadi,
matharpakadi, Old Bandra village etc.
Heritage Literally is defined as
Which is inherited or
transmitted by our ancestors or
by past ages.
As per Heritage Regulations it
is defined as –
Buildings/ Artifacts/
Structures/ Areas and Precincts
of Historic and or Aesthetic
and/ or Architectural and/ or
Cultural value.
Heritage regulations include not
only structures and buildings
but also open spaces such as
Azad, Cross and Oval maidans,
Vistas such as Apollo Bunder
and Horniman Circle, The
seafront promenade etc.
Heritage
In pre-independence phase
Mansara
Philosophy and technical details of
ancient practices were well
documented in ancient texts.
1862, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)
estab. under Sir Alexander Cunningham.
1904, The Ancient Monuments Preservation Act
Sir John Marshall became its first
Director General-(instilled a strong
professional culture in the institution and
compiled the Manual for Conservation to
guide its practice).
(Empowered the ASI to protect
monuments of national importance).
Heritage
In post-independence phase
1958, The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological
Sites and Remains Act was passed to
replace the Colonial Act.
These Acts consolidated the idea
that architectural heritage consisted only of
exemplary buildings and that its protection
was primarily the responsibility of the
government.
1984, The Indian National Trust for Art and
Cultural Heritage (INTACH) was founded.
2004, INTACH adopted Charter for the
conservation of unprotected architectural
heritage and sites in India.
Heritage
ROLE OF
INTACH
Institutionalized the practice of
conservation.
Spread awareness of the need to
conserve.
Initiated to train conservation
professionals
Began documenting the diverse
manifestation of architectural heritage.
Undertook a variety of conservation
works of unprotected architectural
heritage outside the purview of the ASI
or SDA.

Provision for TDR in case full development of property

cannot be allowed.
Maintaining skyline by restricting height of development

Creation of a repair fund to carry out the urgent repairs to
conserve the building
Conservation
THE NEED
The majority of India’s architectural heritage and
sites are unprotected. They constitute a unique
civilization legacy.
This unprotected heritage embodies values of
enduring relevance to contemporary Indian
society.
Conserving the ‘living’ heritage, therefore, offers
the potential ways of conserving a building.
Conserving the unprotected architectural heritage
and sites ensures the survival of the country’s
sense of place and its very character in a
globalizing environment.
This ‘living’ heritage also has symbiotic
relationships with the natural environments within
which it originally evolved.

Conservation
OBJECTIVE The objective of conservation is to maintain the
significance of the architectural heritage or site.
Significance is constituted in both the tangible and
intangible forms.
The tangible heritage includes historic buildings of all
periods, their setting in the historic precincts of
cities and their Relationship to the natural
environment.
Conservation of architectural heritage and sites must
retain meaning for the society in which it exists.
Where the evidence of the tangible or intangible
architectural heritage exists in fragments, it is
necessary to conserve it, even in part, as
representative of a historic past.
The overarching objective for undertaking unprotected
architectural heritage and sites is to establish the
efficacy of conservation as a development goal.
Conservation
BUILT HERITAGE
Built heritage means those buildings,
artifacts, structures, areas and precincts
that are of historic, aesthetic, architectural
significance and include natural features
within such areas or precincts of
environmental significance or scenic beauty
such as sacred groves,hills,hillocks,open
areas, wooded areas etc.The cultural
landscape around heritage site is critical
for the interpretation of the site and its
built heritage and thus is very much its
integral part.
Conservation
OBJECTIVE OF CONSERVING BUILT HERITAGE
The conservation of built
heritage is generally perceived
to be in long term interest of
society. This can be better
understood if categorized under
“ECONOMIC, CULTURAL and

ENVIRONMENTAL”
although they are not mutually

exclusive and,indeed,they are
often interlocked.

THE REVITALISATION OF THE
GARDENS OF EMPEROR HUMAYUN’S TOMB,
DELHI, INDIA
INTRODUCTION
The first privately funded restoration of a World Heritage

Site in India, March 2003
through the joint efforts of the Aga Khan Trust for
Culture (AKTC) and the Archaeological Survey of India
(ASI), under the aegis of the National Culture Fund.
Objective
The objective of the project was to revitalize the garden

according to the original plans of the builders.
HISTORY
The tomb is one of the 23 World Heritage Sites in India.
The chahâr-bâgh, or four-part paradise garden, is the earliest existing
example.
tomb was built over nearly a decade beginning around 1565 (AH
973).
Influenced by Persian architecture.
The architect, Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, was a Persian from Herat, in current-
day Afghanistan.
It is the earliest example of the use of red sandstone and white marble
in such great quantities.
IMPLEMENTATION
Site works encompassed a variety of disciplines:

Archaeological excavation
Application of conservation science
Hydraulic engineering.
Features of implementation
Removal of truckloads of earth (12,000 cubic metres),
Planting of 12 hectares of lawn,
Re-setting and alignment of over 3,500 kilometres of path
kerbstones,
Preparation by some 60 stonecutters of 3,000 metres of hand-
dressed red sandstone slabs (to edge the channels),
Creation of 128 ground-water recharge pits and the de-silting and
creation of other wells.
Creation of a site exhibition,
Planning and installation of a new water-circulation system for the
walkway channels,
Planting of 2,500 trees and plants according to Mughal texts,
Repair of fountains, wells and rainwater-harvesting systems,
Provision of wheelchair access to a significant part of the site.
Illumination
Documentation
Wells
Earth Removal
Pathway Repair
Pathway surface: Over 25,000 square metres of

pathways in the garden enclosure were repaired.
edging stones: 3,200 metres of the large, Delhi
quartzite, pathway-edging stones were reset.
SUMMARY
The rehabilitation project included the following main elements:
· Reinstating the walkways and conserving the edging stones,
· Repair, extension and reactivation of the irrigation system,
· Establishing water sources for the water channels and irrigation
system, including a pump station for a water-recycling system,
· Conserving, repairing and rebuilding the water channel system,
· Re-leveling the planted zones and revitalizing them with species
and arrangements that conform to the customs and patterns of
Mughal sources.
· Support for research.

KHOTACHIWADI
SEM XII
Khotachiwadi
A cocooned in the interiors of a
commercially active hub of Girgaum
area, is a quiet and placid settlement
of Khotachiwadi.
A unique settlement of low-lying,
Mangalore tiled sloping roof houses
with narrow pedestrian lanes, multitude
of crosses and shrines and elegant
detailing.
Khotachiwadi
The area is demarcated as
the central core area,
transitional buffer area and
outer peripheral area
according to the
concentration of heritage
buildings there.
It is observed that the
peripheral area has Periphery area
undergone greater physical
transformation, perhaps as Buffer Area
the result of the Core Area
commercial area around.
Extended precinct Boundary
Khotachiwadi
The planning elements that lend a
characteristic ambience to Khotachiwadi
are:
Roofs cape
A typical sloping roof of Mangalore
tiles, with a timber-eaves fascia
and bargeboard is mostly seen
here.
Street edge
With houses directly abutting the
street and with no visible front
setback,
setback forms a very strong element
in planning.
Even when the house is slightly set back
from the street, a low compound wall with
gates takes the place.
Khotachiwadi
Front porch/verandah
The front porch, with a sloping roof and
timber or cast iron balustrade, form a
social connection between the house and
street.
The sitting system of timber benches or
“otla” of concrete or stone are also
common.
External timber staircase
A timber staircase leading from the
front verandah to the upper floors
with ornate balustrade and handrails
are also seen.
Khotachiwadi
The core area is conceived as the most valuable section of the precinct. This
area has undergone minimum transformations and has survived the urban
demand.
The conservation guidelines for development are as mentioned:
a) Development plan
The boundaries of Khotachiwadi should be extended.
b) Amalgamation of plots
Clubbing of existing property shall not be permitted as this would lead to
high-rise construction.
c) Demolition of buildings
No building in the area shall be allowed to demolish and if demolition is
absolutely necessary then the original status should be retained.
Khotachiwadi
d) Road widening
To reduce motorized traffic, no road

widening should be permitted as it
might damage the building line and also
this area is meant only for pedestrian
circulation.
e) Grade III structures
Any development, redevelopment,

repairs, additions, alterations to
the existing structures should be
referred to the heritage
committee.
Khotachiwadi
f) Neighborhood landmarks and street shrines
The position and placement of the

landmarks are to be retained but not
necessarily their design.
No additional landmarks shall be permitted.
g) Open spaces
All open spaces, whether private or public, shall be maintained.
h) The allowable FSI is 1.33.
(i) Modifications to the façade and architectural features

•Replacement should also be avoided, but if the
building is completely in despair, duplication
should be sensitively treated.
Khotachiwadi
j) Sign, signage and street furniture
The entrance to the precinct should be

highlighted by a signage.
Road names should appear at the end

of streets, demarcating a one-way or
two-way road.
Building name and number should be

displayed on the main façade.
Predominantly pedestrianised, needs

an up gradation.
Appropriate street furniture should be added.

Khotachiwadi
(k) Height
restriction As the integral nature of
khotachiwadi is of low-rise cluster of
G+1 one-storied cottages, this
pattern should be maintained.
Maximum height of G+2 is
permitted.
Provision of attic floor is also
allowed.
(l) Façade control and finishes
The prevalent colour

scheme of lime-based
or non-oil based
paints are allowed.
Under no
circumstances is
cladding allowed.
Khotachiwadi
(m) Change of activity and user
•As khotachiwadi is predominantly a residential

neighbourhood, under no circumstances would
clubbing of property, to accommodate
commercial use be permitted.
•With a unique ambience of vernacular domestic
architecture and a picturesque street character of
low-rise buildings, kotachiwadi has miraculously
survived the onslaught of the mindless building
activity going on around.
•Regular maintenance and all the mentioned precautions
are necessary in order to prevent this area from
degeneration.
