Redesign of Traditional Heritage Center in AL-Mirani Fort in Oman

This research reimagines Al-Mirani Fort in Muttrah,-Oman, as a dynamic cultural and educational center that bridges heritage preservation with modern functionality. Grounded in the principles of adaptive reuse and aligned with Oman Vision 2040, the redesign integrates traditional Omani architectural elements with contemporary spatial strategies to enhance visitor engagement and cultural representation. The design incorporates interactive features such as workshops, storytelling spaces, a cultural performance courtyard, and digital exhibits to provide an immersive experience of Omani history and lifestyle. By addressing environmental, spatial, and accessibility challenges, the project ensures sustainability while respecting the fort’s historical integrity. Careful material selection, eco-conscious interventions, and strategic programming, the fort becomes a living heritage site that fosters tourism, supports local artisans, and educates future generations. Ultimately, the revitalized Al-Mirani Fort will serve as a vibrant symbol of Oman’s cultural pride and forward-looking identity.
