Haveli Chandni Chowk, Delhi

Haveli 328 located in Kucha Ghasi Ram, Chandni Chowk. Was part of the traditional residential architecture of the area in Old Delhi. It was under demolition when last visited. The haveli was used as a school in the recent past. It had very high potential for reuse. The practise of considering reuse must be stipulated as the first course of action for the historic building stock. It is disgraceful that built heritage resources are allowed to be neglected and destroyed rather than be reused, which should be the way forward towards sustainability and revenue generation.
