3ડી ફોર હેરિટેજ ઈન્ડિયા

‘ભારતના ભૂકંપગ્રસ્ત હેરિટેજ વિસ્તારો માટે અદ્યતન રેકોર્ડિંગ ટેકનોલોજીના આધારે સસ્ટેનેબલ પુનઃનિર્માણ

We have developed a sustainable re-construction framework for heritage areas affected by earthquakes in Gujarat, India, using a pilot study of the village of Bela in Kutch, Gujarat. It is a fast, affordable and scalable approach in order to break the unsustainable cycle of buildings’ replacement after earthquakes and subsequent heritage loss using a combination of tools to capture social and built environment data, such as interviews, mapping, drone capture, photography and 3D laser scanning.  This enhanced digital model offers a platform for seismic risk assessment of buildings in a short period, favouring repairing instead of replacement. The framework proposed is structured through a strategic partnership between NGOs (providing the link with local communities), academia (providing expert technical knowledge), and the government (providing institutional support) to inform actions in conserving at-risk built heritage. This has involved collaborative work with international partners, such as CEPT University, the Hunnarshala Foundation, GIDM and ICCROM, building local capacity, relevant for its potential scalability and applicability in other similar seismic-prone heritage settlements.

In the current phase 4 of this research project, we are exploring policy implementation, applicability and dissemination of this framework. Download the project brochure in English here and in Gujarati, here.
