A pilgrim (from the Latin 'peregrinus') is a traveller, a person who has come from afar, and is typically (though not always) on a journey to a holy place. This is often a physical journey (often on foot) to a place of special significance. In the spiritual literature of Christianity, the concept of pilgrim and pilgrimage refers to the experience of life in the world (exile) to a state of beatitude (the after-life).This proposal began by considering the Silk Road, a network of trade and cultural transmission routes that were central to cultural interaction through regions of the Asian continent, connecting East and West by linking traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, soldiers, nomads and (latterly) urban dwellers from China and India to parts of the East African coast (Somalia/Lamu/Oman/Zanzibar) and the Mediterranean Sea.Travel along this route was primarily via caravans (hence the term 'caravanserai: a resting place or place of exchange for travellers). The Spice Route, which involved more than simply trade (growth, agriculture, farming) profoundly influenced the culture and peoples of the East African coast, bringing with it the components that make up contemporary Zanzibari culture: mixed ethnicities, architecture, religions and language. In contemporary terms, tourism makes up almost 80% of Zanzibar's economy. In some senses, tourists can be seen as modern-day pilgrims and traders, bringing with them all manner of goods: sensibilities, influences, conventions and modes of behavior, not all of which may be welcome. This proposal aims to provide a 'waystation' (resting place, accommodation and facilities) for modern-day pilgrims (tourists or travellers), with a view to exposing, Wexploiting and subverting these often-unseen influences.A contemporary waystation is made up of a number of architectural programmatic starting points: a point of embarkation, a depot, a marketplace and temporary accommodation. During the Unit Field Trip, a 'vocabulary' of architectural elements - materials, forms, programmes, sites, spaces - was amassed, which will be deployed in multiple ways to construct the 21st Century 'Waystation.'The project aims to reinterpret a crucial historical aspect of the island's identity, merging it with contemporary conditions of migration, immigration, smuggling and tourism, to propose a new form of caravanserai: a space and place that mirrors contemporary Zanzibari culture and offers a space for reflection and contemplation of the complex journey from tradition to Modernity. One aspect of the research proposal is centered on questions of travel, particularly in the context of recent writings in cultural theory. Of particular interest, is Caren Kaplan's seminal work, 'Questions of Travel' (Duke University Press:1996), which seeks to unpack terms such as 'tourist', 'traveler', 'migrant', 'exile' and so on, and this text (and other readings) are central to the architectural translation and investigation of terms that, on first appearance, have little to do with architecture. In this regard, therefore, the project seeks to claim an architectural space and reading relevant to these conditions which, one could argue, are the defining cultural conditions of the 21st century.
