While consultation of contemporary sources is called for to reflect upon these key issues, it tends to be under- used by modern historians.

  • The Calculus of Heritage Preservation
    June 25, 2019 The calculus of heritage preservation Ruins of Jahaj Bari, which was torn down violating a High Court order and without permission from the Waqf Estate that the land belongs to. Photo: Collected Adnan Zillur Morshed The clandestine demolition of Jahaj Bari in Old Dhaka on the night of Eid-ul-Fitr reveals the precarious state of historic preservation in Bangladesh. Such a senseless act of destruction—a kind of cultural violence—was possible because of a host of interrelated reasons. Among them are: a lack of clear policy guidelines for the preservation of “historic” buildings in private hands or waqf custodianship; a policy marginality of the very idea of historic preservation within government bureaucracies; pervasive lack of knowledge of heritage buildings (a newspaper journalist called Jahaj Bari an “ancient” building; there is no consensus as to when exactly the building was built); absence of broad public heritage awareness, further weakened by a disjointed culture of sentimental attitude toward preservation, often falsely isolated from the economics of preservation. The knocking down of Jahaj Bari received some news media coverage. Yet, the overall feeling was that this was merely a minor headache of the preservation specialist! There was no statement about it on the website of the Department of Archaeology, the government agency in charge of the country’s cultural patrimony. This agency recognises only 32 buildings in Old Dhaka as archaeologically significant. Jahaj Bari is not one of them. According to the Urban Study Group, a team of activists committed to the conservation of historic buildings, there are 2,200 “heritage” buildings in Old Dhaka.

Shahriar, S. M. Naeem Hossain Mithun Department of Architecture, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Dhaka, the one of the megacities in the world have been facing the pressure of new development and redevelopment due to rapid socio-economic development. Like the other part of the city in old Dhaka, this urban renewal is misunderstood as the process of demolition-reconstruction of old buildings and historical sites. Change in land use pattern, land scarcity, increased land value, lack of mature theoretical guidance and the awareness of preservation the old part of the city is losing its identity. This kind of development not only affecting the city fabric but also destroying the vernacular built environment, cultural values and collective memory of habitants. Introduction of heritage tourism and development of tourist trails in different part of the old city may become an effective and sustainable measure to protect the heritage sites and old fabric of the city. Heritage tourism not only has a positive effect on economic development activities but it also promotes and protects the intangible heritage resources. The study tries to explore some different ways in which tourist trail and heritage tourism can be developed in old Dhaka.

  • Ruplal House
    Sanjida Ahmed Sinthia, 2010 Sustainable revitalization of the traditional old urban mansion: Ruplal house Conservation & Management of historic building (CMHB), Advanced International Training Programme, 2009/2010 Lund University-Sida Sanjida Ahmed Sinthia, Lecturer Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology (AUST) Dhaka, Bangladesh Abstract: Buildings are symbol of eminent achievement of human and some buildings with its surroundings cannot be destroyed without immense failure to all men both present and future. This can be compared with any great paintings, or any great works of art can be effaced. Hence the proposal to establish architectural continuum, which today is both a national and a global quest. In the 19th century Dhaka, Ruplal house is one of the significant structures which are characterized by neo indo classical style. It is a grand mansion situated at the northern bank of river Buriganga at Farashganj in the southern part of Dhaka city. It was built on the Buckland Bund. During the British rule Buriganga riverfront was aristocratic zone which was occupied by the rich and famous families’. But now a days both the side of the river and the road occupied by the hawkers, wholesalers, rice market, fruit market and other business center because of which Ruplal house is facing serious problems. Although government of Bangladesh has enlisted the building for conservation in the gazette of 1989 but due to the pressure of the present users, unauthorized squatters and some for some financial reason it is still not been conserved. The main focus of this paper will be to explore and analyzed the Ruplal house and revitalized the whole area by giving this project an appropriate use which will fit not only the building complex itself but also for the beneficiary of the entire community of old Dhaka.
