Résumé en anglais
Dhulikhel is a small town located 30 km east of Kathmandu.Situated on the ancient trade route to Tibet, and densely
populated by the ethnic Newars, the known history of thesettlement has been traced back to the early Malla period
(16th century) and beyond. The urban structure is particularlyprecious as, besides containing many examples of the
woodcarving for which the Newars are famous, it is basedupon an ancient Hindu planning doctrine. The town’s
traditional domestic dwellings are evidence of a rich culturalheritage. However, the visible dilapidation of much of the
ancient urban structure, and the lack of any organised attemptto preserve it, has led to a largely uncontrolled and rapid rate
of dismantling and new building activities. During thedismantling phase, detailed building surveys - even of
recognisably historic buildings - are uncommon. This absenceof documentation ensures that what is lost is soon forgotten.
