Shikarpoor Historic City (Sindh, Pakistan), nominated to the 2008, 2010, and 2014 World Monuments Fund Watch List, historically enjoyed great significance as a pivot of caravan trade due to its strategic geographic location, distinguished as the gate of Afghanistan, Khelat, Khorasan, and Central Asia. Recognizing its historic significance, the Government of Sindh's Department of Culture, through a notification in September 1998, declared 'Shikarpoor Historic Town' a protected heritage site under the 'Sindh Cultural Heritage Preservation Act 1994', furthermore in March 2012 declaring 1,203 properties, including open spaces, urban elements, and buildings, as enlisted sites. Mere notifications have, however, proved insufficient to curb ongoing destruction of the city's unique historic fabric. Established in early decades of the 17th century, Shikarpoor developed as a multicultural urban centre, reaching a zenith of prosperous times during the 18th and 19th centuries, after which developments in Sindh caused a gradual decline in its economic and socio-political strength, drastically transforming its urban composition. Remnants of Shikarpoor's unique past are now evident only through its surviving historic fabric, presently threatened by insensitive developments and a lack of appreciation. This book ventures to capture the lost spirit of this fading legacy, lamenting upon its potential for an economic and urban revival through a heritage conservation campaign.

About the Book: Pakistan is one of the most beautiful countries in the world blessed with rich cultural heritage snow-clad mountains, meadows, lush green valleys, fertile plains, Indus River and its tributaries, deserts, plateau, and a long coastal belt. It has a long and uninterrupted history from Paleolithic period to the present times. The country is located at the crossroad of several trade routes linking China in the north, Central Asia in the west and Iran and the Middle East in the south and south east. During the course of long history a large number of settlements, structures and works of arts of exceptional beauty were produced presenting a variety of concepts and philosophies. These trade routes brought influence from far and wide and had strong impact on history, culture and artistic tradition. This scholarly work has thoroughly documented the roots of architectural history and tradition of Pakistan from prehistoric to contemporary times. For the first time in history, Dr. Abdul Rehman has produced this masterpiece after years of extensive and original research. The tremendous progress made by Pakistan since 1947 in the profession of architecture has not been adequately celebrated. Since the initial years of its independence, Pakistan had an acute shortage of housing and social and technical infrastructure projects that needed well-qualified architects and planners. In order to meet the demand of qualified professionals a number of architectural schools were established over the last 74 years. At present, both senior architects and younger and recent graduates are working side by side to meet the challenges of the built environment. These architects followed several design philosophies such as modernism, classical tradition, hyper-modernism, etc. This second volume of the book, gives an in-depth overview of the challenges and contributions, as well as the philosophy of international, local, senior and younger architects. The book begins with an introduction to the state of economy and development goals to meet the socioeconomic challenges which the country has faced over time. The design philosophy and architectural contributions of early masters is discussed. Additionally, the book also covers the contributions made by the international architects whose design of large-scale projects can be seen in almost all major cities across Pakistan, as well as the foreign qualified graduates of Pakistani origin of the early years of the country had also made a significant impact in influencing the design. The book also covers the academician architects who played an important role in the development of the profession and gave it a new direction through their writings and professional works. Their contributions have been discussed in the several chapters of this book. Apart from the qualified architects, the traditional masters have also made a significant impact to the country's built environment. Their contributions are especially significant in the design of mosques and tombs. The important projects carried out by them have been discussed in the book. The contributions of architects in the field of landscape architecture and conservation are also discussed. The book finally concludes with the discussion on the challenges being faced by the profession and a way forward for improving the quality of architecture in Pakistan. About the Author: Dr. Abdul Rehman is a former Professor and Director of School of Architecture and Design, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. He holds a National Diploma in Architecture from National College of Arts, Lahore and a PhD degree from "Ion Mincu," University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, Romania. He has been a senior Fulbright fellow at both Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.

The Sikh heritage is spread all over Pakistan and enriches the urban environments with beautiful gurdwaras, smadhis, havelis, gardens and garden pavilions. The Sikh also left their mark on the Mughal forts in Lahore and Sheikhupura. The Sikh architecture is an amalgamation of Hindu and Mughal architecture with an inspiration from the art of Rajput pahari. Although the Sikh art have been discussed by a number of scholars, the architecture of the buildings have never been documented. Similar to other historical monuments these structures have also suffered ravages of time. In recent years the Evacuee Trust Property Board, Government of Pakistan, has taken special interest to preserve this important heritage. The best example is the Gurdwara Kartarpur, which is being developed for the large Sikh community so that they can visit it with convenience. The Shrine is located by the River Ravi close to Narowal and Shakargarh, Pakistan, close to the border with India. During the lifetime of Guru Nanak, the Governor of the area, Duni Chand met with Guru Nanak at Pakhoke and granted him agricultural land on the right bank of river Ravi. On the Guru's acceptance of the land he decided to settle there and a small building or hut was constructed. Kartarpur thus became the first Sikh spiritual center. There is a reference in the historical books that Guru formally laid the foundation of Kartarpur on Magh 13, 1572 Bikrmi year [1515AD]. Apart from Duni Chand, Guru's disciple Doda was also helpful.The gurdwara was built to commemorate the site where Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, settled after his missionary work. He assembled a Sikh community there, and lived for 18 years until his death in 1539. The gurdwara is built where Guru Nanak is said to have died. The shrine is said to house the last copies of the original Guru Granth Sahib. This publication is a step forward in bringing the Sikh heritage to the wider audience across the world. For better preservation a full documentation of the Sikh heritage in the form of plan, elevation, and decorative details of the historical structures is necessitated. Many historic residences have been demolished only to be replaced with modern structures. Those that remain must be preserved. The haveli at Badana near Wagha is the finest monument in fair face and cut, as well as in dressed brick work, and Khem Singh haveli at Kalar Sayedan near Rawalpindi is one of the finest examples of portrait art. A large number of gardens at Kunjah, Eminabad and in Alipur Chatta have vanished or are in a bad state of preservation. It is our hope that this publication will open new avenues towards documentation and research in this chapter of history of architecture.
