Architect specialised in heritage conservation and management Gurmeet S. Rai presents the Rambagh Gates and Ramparts conservation project in a talk with TBIH's Kate Seymour. It won the Award of Excellence at 2023 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.
The Rambagh Gate and Ramparts is strategically located at the intersection of the Maharaja Ranjit Singh's nineteenth-century city wall and the new city of Amritsar. The building comprises a historical gate and a segment of the ramparts which houses a government school, and a municipal printing press. The project required conservation and retrofitting of the building and entailed improvement of working and learning environments within the school and the printing press. The reuse of the gateway as a community cultural space paved the way for fostering a vibrant and uniquely localized cultural experience of the historical city through contemporary interpretations using arts, media and other creative approaches.
