3.7 Different typologies of housing Figure 22, Figure 23, Figure 24 & Figure 25 Traditional houses Most of this self build housing consists of traditional mud buildings with one or two floors, flat roofs and wooden windows. Blocks of flats Prefabricated blocks date from Soviet period (concentrated in Microrayan areas). ‘Pakistani Houses’ <strong>Urban</strong> issues These buildings take up a lot more space than traditional houses inside a plot surrounded by walls. This reduces the natural ecological equilibrium and traditional outside use. Pakistani houses are grouped together in rich ‘ghetto’ areas. Architectural issues Those new buildings copy a foreign style of architecture, either Arab or Pakistani. They are much larger than traditional houses. This building density could pose problem of lack of privacy. Environmental issues These buildings, with wide windows and powerful generators, are not energy efficient. Traditional mud houses Self building with rural techniques need rehabilitation and permanent maintenance. Building houses out of mud is energy efficient but can be complemented with other solutions, such as insulation and solar system. Page 18
3.8 Housing demolition Within the urban environment Figures 26 & 27 In some cases, buildings have only been partially destroyed and could be saved with good structural expertise before rehabilitation. But restoring a building is always a lot more expensive than a new building. In this case, there are several abandoned buildings that will require destruction. Strategic or symbolic areas Figures 29 & 29 Some urban areas, such as those close to the airport or the King’s Palace, have been particularly affected and are in ruins. Page 19
