Zamani Programme Management of Zanzibar Heritage Assets - House Of Wonders - 2018-2019 - Initial Scope of work and building Stabilisation
Zamani undertook in 2018 the initial study on the House of Wonders for restoration setting out a plan for repurposing for a sustainable renovation of the building. With any programme it is essential that restoration is not undertaken in most cases for the sole purpose of restoration, you must ensure that there is a clear purpose. What is the purpose, what will the purpose be once completed, how do we ensure that the work undertaken is sustainable and will last for many years to come and not continue to burden the state.
