Around 4:30 AM, these buildings were looking so mysteriously beautiful that i could not stop myself from shoting them down :D
From sun rise to sunset, its lively there at Food Street, Gawalmandi. At nighttime, the same buildings give a totally different look…and in the early morning their glory becomes mystical :). Hope you guys will enjoy the feel.

Experimental Construction in Lahore
Tampa Architects Looks great guys. It’s nice to see that people are experimenting with up and coming Architect...
certainlly a treat to watch enchanting beauty of old Lahore,but i hope these buildingds are in dangerous buildingds list and we get to see them around!!!!
sorry for a writing mistake,i meat to say these should NOT in that list.
Well, even if they are in the “dangerous” buildings list, does not mean we should demolish them outright.
Nations been able to preserve much older buildings through ongoing maintenance and restoration, because they take pride in their history and treasure their national heritage.
It is just a matter of enough people coming together and wanting to preserve their heritage. So if people are mobilized to raise funds and work to restore and preserve, these buildings can most certainly be saved.
It is just a realization that distinguishes one nation from other. The realization that not everything is job of the government, instead certain responsibilities lie directly with the general public.
Remember JFK: “Ask not what your country can do for you! Ask what you can do for your country!”
Great people do not need governments to take action. The best and most recent example of this public directed action was Oct 2005 Earthquake Relief.
hey hey hey – don’t tell me you are working in graveyard shifts now a days ?
I personally had the chance to see the changes when Kamran Lashari was ruling Lahore. He really worked very well for grooming this city and specially for restoration of old buildings, our heritage. Also, there was a movement by a group of ppl known as “Care About Lahore” aka CALL. But this is past now. I think there are many but small groups that are working for betterment of Lahore. I really love the architecture of Lahori buildings and i wish that some professionals come forward and do some reasonable stuff to Lahore.
@BZ: Not at all :) …i do love nature.
@BZ: It happens, somtimes i feel like William Woodsworth :) …to me Lahore has many things which are like daffodils to me, BUT in fact, they are not ….
but Willam’s daffodils were realistic – God i hate to remmember this, when i was in 5th grade, i lost a spelling competition on the same poem.
:(
nyway – nice to hear you have charm for old city & nature.
@BZ: Bara afsos hoa :’( parh kar. Hosla hosla. It made me dukhi now….huq haa, my daffodils reminded you of something bad… :’(
Yeah, those daffodils were there for Williams, magar hum ko tu guzara karna hay na…. virtual daffodils par.
For appreciating, sanqu sanqu.
I have not been to Lahore for a long time,as a teenager i went to hiramandi and i liked its architecture more than anything else.Any restoration work done over there?
nice to see lahore-related posts on Lahore MB. :-) would love to see more of inner city; it need to preserved and protected, don’t think it’s an easy job though….
@TT: Bari impressive bat ke hay.
@iblees: A change from topic sometimes kills boredome. Thank u for appreciation…and yes, i agree, preserving old buildings is not easy specially when there is lots of concern and nill hardwork. Will catch walled city life soon for lovers of city Lahore, inshallah.
Muster your courage and go there once,you will not be disappointed.

@ibless: A long debate. U need to be a Manto then, u need to face consequences then.
When the hormones kick in its natural to look for any outlet. Even Sudharta was not shy of it and iam way down the league. Kafkas elderly gentleman has two balls jumping in the room.
