Abstract:
Urban spirit assessment and its value are crucial globally in developed countries when it comes to protecting heritage, and the same should be taken into consideration in developing countries as well. Due to their dynamic nature and ongoing evolution, historic cities present a more challenging assessment. In Pakistan, several historical buildings have been the custodian of regional cultural and architectural heritage for many decades. They are currently in bad condones and require immediate conservation/restoration to keep them alive for the next generations. Uch Sharif has a long history of religious and architectural significance. Monumental tombs are the container for a city's most significant social, cultural, and architectural characteristics. However, they must contend with several degrading processes, including weathering, vandalism, a lack of organized mechanisms for maintenance and repair, and improper use by various stakeholders. This paper attempts to conservation of a 13th Century monument in Uch Sharif, namely the tomb of Safi-ud-Din Garzoni. It is a marvellous combination of many civilizations in the form of its architectural styles and significant element and construction techniques. The study's findings, in the form of proposed interventions, will apply to other overlooked monuments in Uch Sharif and other cities throughout Pakistan.
