preservation of the re-erected building - The old Nusserwanjee Building
The old Nusserwanjee Building possess the uniqueness in context to its social cultural value and its architectural identity. The building was set for demolition, to give way to a new commercial structure. It was salvaged and shifted from the historic zone of the Karachi, reassembled and became the campus of Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture.
Since last few years the building is facing certain problems; cracks are emerging in various positions. The decorative pilasters started falling and cornices were broken down. The problem was looked thoroughly and an analysis took place after lengthy documentation. The analysis transpired that a detail intervention in the building is essential to stop the continuation of decay.
The Sindh Exploration and Adventure Society (SEAS; Pakistan) has taken up this challenge to address the real cause of damages, and to take up preservation of the re-erected building. The SEAS Pakistan has come up with innovative conservation strategy. This shall help in adding the new chapter in the field of conservation in the metropolis.
