Architectural Project Solution Proposals for the Reconstruction of the "Danielbiy Otalik Architectural Complex"

Abstract

This project explores architectural design proposals for the reconstruction of the
“Danielbiy Otalik Architectural Complex,” a site of significant historical and cultural value. The
proposals aim to balance the preservation of the complex’s original character with the introduction of
modern functionalities to ensure its adaptive reuse. Through a rigorous analysis of historical
documentation, site surveys, and contemporary needs, innovative design solutions are developed to
address structural challenges, enhance public access, and revitalize the complex as a cultural and
community hub. The proposed interventions include sensitive restoration of existing structures, the
integration of sustainable materials, and the strategic addition of new elements that respect the
complex’s historical narrative. The project seeks to provide a framework for future restoration efforts,
ensuring the long-term viability and appreciation of this important architectural heritage site.This
article presents an architectural project proposal for the reconstruction of the Danyolbi Otalik complex
(now unusable), which dominated Bukhara in the second half of the 18th century.
