Every culture sustains itself by taking pride in its identity. This statement is true in
all cultural manifestations, with art and architecture being at the very forefront.
Civilized nations realize the significance of this statement and ensure, through law
and policy, to protect and preserve the icons of historical and cultural identity.
One such historical icon of cultural identity of Pakistan is University College of
Art and Design, University of the Punjab Lahore. This is one of the highlights
among historical architecture in Pakistan, and its image is synonymous with the
great architectural reawakening of the Colonial Era. Designed by Bhai Ram Singh
and standing tall for over a century, this building has fared comparatively well
during its life for serving as a functional building. But even so, without any
implementable conservative policies, unlawful interventions have continued to
chew away at the very foundations of the historical character of this building.
