Question

Answer the following questions in detail 3) According to you what measures should we adopt for conservation and
preservation of heritage monuments?​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think there is potential for further research within this field. In terms of the built environment, more emphasis and research could be placed on creating buildings that can last hundreds if years (by studying examples of heritage buildings which are still around today), as opposed to the quick build houses which can have a lifespan of only 30years. And I would suggest that conserving heritage buildings may be far more 'sustainable' than demolishing and rebuilding.

With the recent questioning of western model of heritage preservation, indigenous models are being discovered all over the world and are found to be more [public] inclusive in opposition to the exclusive nature of western model. Consequently, public participation in heritage creation is being debated. How can these indigenous models play into the acceptable dogma (western model) especially in this post-colonial era?
