Today our cities face a multitude of challenges and some among them are preserving our architectural heritage and creating public places for people. This little book gives one an idea of what can be done from examples achieved in Tranquebar with support from people and most importantly the local Government. The projects have been carried out by INTACH Pondicherry and persons closely associated with it. For more information log on to: www.intachpondy.org
This book shows some examples of restoration of heritage buildings, architectural façade control of new structures in the heritage precincts as well as creation of public places for people. There are also digital simulations of buildings that need restoration. One can see that even seemingly ‘hopeless’ buildings can be restored and infused with life!
It is hoped that this publication will encourage similar work in our country.

TranquebarTharangampadi’ (also known as Tranquebar), or the ‘land of the singing waves’ has a rich history of several cultural legacies that in�uenced the co-habitation and development of various communities over centuries along the Coromandel Coast.
One of the characteristics that sets Tranquebar apart from the neighbouring towns and villages is the Danish colonial architecture - the houses, villas and the fort that remind the visitor of former Danish presence. There are also Tamil vernacular streets and houses. The town is perceived as unique because of this architectural setting which is an outcome of a synthesis between Danish and local Tamil vernacular. However, this unique architecture today stands endangered because of development pressures and lack of sensitivity and appreciation.
In the Indian context, where urban heritage preservation is an exception than a rule, Tranquebar has covered good ground in this area. The major players have been the Neemrana Hotels, Bestseller Foundation, National Museum of Denmark, Tamil Nadu Tourism Department and the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India and INTACH Pondicherry. As can be seen from the various projects illustrated in this book, all these organizations have contributed towards preserving heritage buildings and improving the urban environment.

Some of the following examples demonstrate that even highly dilapidated heritage structures can be restored, extended, modernized and adapted to contemporary uses like hotels, shops, museums, residences or whatever other uses one may have in mind. The basic principles of restoration are to use, as much as possible, traditional technology and materials that were employed in the original construction. Modern amenities like good bathrooms, kitchen and air conditioning can easily be incorporated in the design. The end result invariably, if done well, can please both owners and visitors. Often we are asked how long a building can last after restoration – if given basic care and maintenance these buildings can last decades and centuries.
