- W82473227 abstract "The Omani houses of Zanzibar are the tangible legacy of ancient trade links and 19th century political domination. These elegant houses are climatically effective, and offer private outdoor living space in a dense urban environment. This type of house is still popular in Oman, but in Zanzibar it is are threatened. As background this report reviews the state of the literature related to the Omani houses of Zanzibar and also presents a very brief historical perspective. A description of the selected case study in its current state is followed by a proposed reconstruction to its perceived original form when build in the 19th century. This exercise reveals a concept of great sophistication and clarity. Although the planning process and the constituent elements were standardized, an infinite range of possible plan forms and sections ensured flexibility and responsiveness. Our subsequent analysis hints that the Omani house is unique but not alien when compared with other traditional Arab courtyard houses. The report is concluded with suggestions for future academic research, while our conclusions and recommendations focus on opportunities for practical research and development. The premature demise of this house type was partly the result of colonization and European interference. It offers valuable lessons, however, which could be explored in our quest for better affordable housing in Southern and East Africa. Acknowledgement We are grateful to the National Research Foundation for the grant, which funds our investigation of vernacular African courtyard houses, and which made this excursion possible. t to Introduction Zanzibar is part of the United Republic of Tanzania. The ancestors of the local people were from Africa, Persia, Yemen, Oman and Asia, and trade links date from antiquity (Fig. 1). Oman politically dominated the whole of the East African region during the 18 and especially the 19 century. Figure 1 A sketch map of ancient Indian" @default.
