Tehlové budovy v Zabíd - Jemen - PlaceMania
Zanikajúcu tradičnú architektúru mesta zdobia prepracované vzory.
placemania.sk →Podobne ako mnohé iné jemenské mestá, aj Zabíd je staré, zaujímavé mesto bohaté na kultúrne a náboženské artefakty. Mesto pretína spletitý súbor labyrintov uličiek, za ktorými stoja stáročné hlinené tehlové domy. Ich fasády majú nádherne prepracované štukové vzory, ktoré čerpajú z arabských, afrických a indických tradícií. Dávajte pozor na zložité abstraktné vzory, kvetinové vzory, zvieratá a kaligrafiu. Tieto vzory sa rozširujú aj do interiéru niektorých domov. Na niektorých budovách je dokonca Dávidova hviezda, ktorá svedčí o jemenskej židovskej tradícii a minulosti Zabídu ako centra kultúry a náboženstva. Bohužiaľ, novšie budovy ohrozujú niektoré z jeho najvynikajúcejších tradičných tehlových architektúr. Znepokojujúci počet týchto historických domov nahradili betónové budovy vo vnútri mestských hradieb. Malý populačný boom po vojne v Perzskom zálive podnietil ľudí, aby buď renovovali staré budovy, alebo ich nahradili novšími stavbami. Niektoré z tradičných domov, ktorým sa podarilo prežiť, majú tendenciu zostať zanedbané kvôli chudobe.
