Wooden Ornamentation Conservation in Traditional Buildings Of Peshawar: An Approach Through The Guidelines Of Venice Charter 1964 (Icomos)

Shahana Mehmood, Jan Muhammad, Dr. Badshah Rehman.




Abstract

Wooden decoration in traditional buildings has remained a key component of Peshawar's architecture. This traditional art developed mostly in Peshawar's interior city areas, where it became ingrained in the people's culture and heritage. There was also a group of expert woodworkers who may be considered a prominent representative of their society's cultural expression and history. This article proposes a novel and long-term preservation strategy for Peshawar's old wood embellished buildings. It's aimed at providing a global perspective on preservation issues involving wood constructions from a cultural standpoint. The author's goal is to provide ideas and approaches that are potentially universal in scope while being respectful of diversity of cultures.

Key words: Wooden decoration, Peshawar, global perspective, preservation
