New Delhi, november 9
Restoration of an aristocratic house from a state of partial ruin in Ladakh has won an UNESCO Asia-Pacific award for conservation, the world body announced on Friday. The Ladakh Arts and Media Organisation (LAMO) Centre in the Ladakh region was chosen in the category of Award of Distinction for its systematic restoration project that used salvaged and local building material, and indigenous construction techniques while adroitly introducing modern amenities to assure its ongoing use, UNESCO Bangkok said in a statement.
“The recovery of the aristocratic house from a state of partial ruin establishes an important precedent for conserving the non-monumental urban fabric of Leh old town,” it said. — PTI
