Question

Art and architecture of Visakhapatnam

Answer 1

Answer:

Heritage on mother earth was recognized as one of the important fields of human endeavor. Many nations around the world have been pursuing the subject for the benefit of present and future generations. In the process, several first order cities around the world have geared up to meet the requirement. However, second order cities in many nations, especially in developing countries like India did not yet raise to the occasion. Therefore, a comprehensive study on heritage and its preservation was taken up in Visakhapatnam, India and the present communication dealing with heritage sites in Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region forms a part of it. During this attempt, a total of 44 cultural heritage sites were identified from the city and their architectural styles, typologies and status analyzed. Introduction Heritage, both of tangible and intangible nature on mother earth was recognised as one of the important fields of human endeavor for over eight decades now (Larkham, 2010). World over, it is customary to distinguish archaeological possessions from heritage subjects based on age as the fundamental criterion. The thumb rule for delineating the two groups varies from country to country and in India, the criterion is set at 100 years. That means all assets having equal or more than 100 years of existence in India fall into archaeological arena and the ones less than 100 years into heritage spectrum (Anonymous, 2011). As a sequel, many nations around the world have been pursuing the subject for the benefit of the present and future generations while synthesizing cultural heritage with urban landscape. In the process, several first order cities around the world have geared up to meet the requirements right from identification of heritages to their conservation
