This colonial era heritage site had remained forgotten for decades; no one had ever documented it, designed for it, or tried to preserve it. My thesis is the first to take action, aiming to protect these structures through adaptive reuse and cultural tourism. Visitors will experience history through role play, AR/VR, exhibitions, and museum spaces. This thesis will help preserve the heritage while allowing people to see it, learn its stories, and truly experience the past through AR/VR and other interactive spaces.
