Abstract

The first class monuments of Sindh are in threat before any havoc occurs we must document the important on time. In case of any incident, we would be able to restore it accordingly. This paper initiates the documentation culture and hopefully, other architects and conservators will follow it. The tomb of jam Nizam-al-Din Samoo (Jam Nindo), Makli, Thatta is a monumental structure of 15th century constructed with stone. This documentation will thoroughly cover all the parts of monuments its degradation process and suggestions on conservation by recording the deformation in its surrounding land and human vandalism, alarming growth in the building developed diagonal cracks and many other negative effects. In order to save the monument from collapse, urgent actions will be solicited to stop the decay process. In this connection, extensive documentation has been made. For the observations and monitoring purpose, two tell-tale devices were fitted based on this empirical study and literature reviews quite a few suggestions and recommendations are made for the preservation and conservation of the monument. The extensive surveys and measurements taken so far are put in format and made ready for publication, modern cad software are used in this process.
