ABSTRACT Architectural conservation is within scientific parameters that we approach for preservation of heritage building along with its

values. The important link that architecture has as a manifestation of Nepalese identity can only be seen if we regard the expression of space as socio-cultural in nature, including the intangible connections of the design process to our own. Assessing a heritage resource using the scientific method, in this case a heritage structure or site, will only help but aid in its judicious conservation and future use as a traditional functioning building. The interpretation of this assessment aids us in the proper adaptive re-use of the historic building without losing its heritage value.
