Research Abstract

A major urban residence type in the British colonial period was Dutch town house, a residence which was introduced by Dutch during the seventeenth century. However, many of those who built and dwelled these houses in the 19th century werenon-European. Through a focus on their religious institutions, we can get an overview and history of different residential areas shaped around these institutions.These residential areas had their particular economic relations with places in the island of Ceylon, Coromandel coast, Malay, Singapore, etc. in the British colonial period.But such trans-Indian Ocean activities were suppressed during a certain time after the establishment of a nation state in 1948.Focusing on buildings called “lodge” and “super market” which have transformed from Dutch townhouses, this research clarified that connections between different cities around the Indian Ocean, which goes beyond the framework of the nation state, have been re-vitalizing in recent years through individual economic activities of private sectors.Understandings of histories of respective living environments and their mutualconnections give insight for living environment design.
