CONSERVING ARCHITECTURE BY KULBHUSHAN JAIN (PAPERBACK)

the professional practice of protecting, maintaining, and prolonging the lifespan of historic buildings and built heritage while safeguarding their material, historical, and design integrity. With a collection of essays on preserving our architectural heritage, Kulbhushan Jain attempts to spark the ever-passive conversation on conservation practices in India: the good, the bad and the ignored parts of it; in his recent work titled- ‘Conserving Architecture’. The compendium discusses the multifarious approaches that are needed to address the grey area between heritage and modernity, the need to find a common ground between the two.
