- Abstract
Heritage buildings and cities provide us with strong visual documents pertaining
to regional history and form, comprising the basis of local culture. In the
contemporary world scene, the built form cultural heritage seems to be generally
ignored into oblivion. The example of Bangladesh as a small country with rich
traditions, cultural heritage and long historical background is studied as a case
from the viewpoint of Canadian heritage preservation practices.
This thesis articulates the process of transformation as the vehicle for adaptive
reuse of heritage buildings in our contemporary condition. It includes the
investigation of events, theories and methods of transformation in the context of
Canadian contemporary practice. Examples of contemporary Canadian projects
are studied in the transformation and integration of the old with the new to
parallel the scenario observed in Bangladesh.
