Abstract
Ornamentation has been a topic of discussion for years. Its relationship with the built architecture cannot be ignored. In the context of the cultural regional history of Lahore, various rulers left their mark in the form of built heritage. This paper is based on one such British heritage building taken as a descriptive research with historical setting. Its objectives included an in-depth study of its ornamentation designs and patterns, techniques and understanding in the context of the regional style of Lahore. British built Court was selected as the sample of the study with its ornamentation motifs. The research revealed motifs were influenced from local Mughal floral patterns with a blend of British heraldry symbols, acanthus and quarter foil motifs. It was quite revealing to understand the philosophy behind using various patterns. A further in depth research on designs to preserve them for the future generations is need of the hour. This Research is helpful for art historians, design students as well heritage conservatives.
