Decoding Authenticity : Reconstruction of Rani Pokhari Post 2015 Earthquake in Nepal

초록

영어

The earthquake of 2015 cause immense damage to the cultural heritage of Kathmandu Valley. It also regenerated the debates on authenticity. Due to the material use, seismic vulnerability and organic linkages of people with the heritage, the values defining authenticity were quite different. Rani Pokhari was chosen as a study site among several sites that were destroyed in the earthquake. This site is an interesting case from several aspects. First, it was the most controversial site under reconstruction and also the first site where the locals, experts and youth protested for the conservation in the traditional style. Second, it was a white washed dome shaped temple in the centre of the pond before the earthquake and was reconstructed in sikhara style. Also, from its construction in 1670 to 2015 it had gone through several restorations, renovations and even reconstruction. The study took place during the reconstruction by the National Reconstruction Authority so the on-site observation along with the controversies and issues raised could be included and analysed. Looking through the lenses of authenticity in heritage reconstruction, this paper explores different values in the context of Nepal and seeks to understand the traditional practices and the recent practice in heritage conservation post 2015.
