Abstract

We completed the first phase of our project with an exhibition and a students’ workshop and seminar “Digital Bela: Architectural Heritage in a new light” held at Nilpa Lawns, CEPT Research and Development Foundation on the 20th of November 2021. The event contributed to disseminating and discussing our project amongst stakeholders and future conservation professionals whilst sharpening our ideas for its next phase, which we will develop thanks to funding recently awarded. The exhibition was previously held on the 17th and 18th of November at Bela, Kutch, and was recreated at Ahmedabad for CEPT University’s students. The workshop and seminar focused on 3D data processing, the role of technology for disaster risk preparedness, the importance of local knowledge and learning from the local community by working in partnership and building a relationship with them. These aspects were respectively discussed by Dr Bernadette Devilat (Nottingham Trent University), Dr Rohit Jigyasu (ICCROM), Prof Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem (Nottingham Trent University), Dr Jigna Desai (CHC), and Aditya Singh and Tanvi Chaudhari (Hunnarshala Foundation). The seminar was moderated by Dr Gauri Bharat (CEPT University). In her concluding remarks, she highlighted the significance of sustainable forms of actions for knowledge production while emphasising how such actions and engagement prepare the community to hold on to their traditional environment, contributing to a broader understanding of cultural heritage conservation.
