  • Building Stone and State of Conservation of the Built Heritage of Pakistan
    Pak. J. Engg. & Appl. Sci. Vol. 3 Jul 2008 (p.8 – 18) Building Stone and State of Conservation of the Built Heritage of Pakistan M. Y. Awan1 1 Department of Architecture, University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract The conservation of Historic Monuments is a means of continuity of history as it keeps alive the cultural scene of that historic period to which it belongs. Pakistan is rich in a variety of built heritage and a large proportion of the valuable Heritage is the monuments built with stone. All components of materials, used in the construction of historic buildings, can be categorized as being either organic or inorganic in nature/origin. Organic materials are derived from living things such as wood whereas inorganic materials are obtained from non-living substances such as stone and metal. The Earth’s crust is composed of minerals associated together to form rock. Certain of these minerals have attracted the artists / craftsmen from the earliest times, to use them in buildings and sculpture, because of their special qualities for fine work, e.g. hardness, texture, color and durability. Egyptians were the earliest people who used stone in large quantities in construction of monumental building. The Pyramids of Egypt are estimated to contain more than two million blocks of limestone, each weighing approximately 2.5 tones. Other important examples of the use of stone are Greek and Roman structures, Buddhist buildings etc. The massive and beautiful buildings built by the Mughals in India and Pakistan are examples from not too remote a past. Stone was considered to be so important that at one time all the quarries were in royal ownership.
