Parallel to its research and publication activities the Anjuman has been actively providing consultancy services focused on the traditional building arts since 1992. This includes conservation/restoration projects as well as new work using traditional design vocabularies, techniques and materials.

Chiniot Project
The Anjuman is currently working on a research and publication project on the traditional building arts of Chiniot. This small Punjab town has been the center of a very rich tradition in the building arts including masonry and woodwork. Today it remains a center of wood products, though limited mostly to hybrid commercial furniture. Under commercial pressure and passing away of old masters traditional design vocabulary and methods are slowly but surely dying out.

The current focus of the project is the spectacular Tazias of Chiniot. Tazias represent the celestial palace as well as tomb of the Prophet's martyred grandson Imam Hussein. These are carried in procession in the Imam's memory during the annual mourning rituals of Muharram. The nine existing Tazias date from the 1930s to the present. The few craftsmen who can still make Tazias, are transmitters not only of the craft but also of the history of their famous predecessors whose work can still be seen in Chiniot and other places. Thus the urgency to record their skill and knowledge before it disappears forever.

The Anjuman's Restoration & Conservation Projects include documentation and proposal for the restoration and adaptive re-use of Haveli Sayyeda Mubarak Begum in the Walled City, Lahore (1992); Restoration of Khawaja Behari mosque, Mian Mir Village, Lahore (1993); Restoration of Kotla Mohsin Khan Gateway, Peshawar (1996) and the ongoing restoration of the tomb of Hazrat Khawaja Bihari since 1997. In 2000-2001 the Anjuman Mimaran provided documentation drawings, work plans and proposals for the restoration of the ancestral mosque of the Hayat family of Wah in northern Punjab. The mosque is currently being restored by the family, using authentic traditional materials, techniques, and motifs. In 2003 similar proposals for the Aitchison College Mosque in Lahore were prepared.

The Anjuman's past Design & Construction projects include new façades for Lok Virsa Museum, Islamabad as a living exhibition of Pakistan's urban domestic architectural traditions (1995-1998). The facades, in the phase completed to-date, are based on Lahore's walled city facades. Also for Lok Virsa is a craftsmen's rest house, demonstrating the application of indigenous design principles and traditional building materials and techniques (1996-1997).

Architectural Design projects from 2002-2003 include: Tomb modification, WWF Resource Centre Salt Range. While Interior design projects from 2003-2004 include OUP Bookshop, Staff Room Punjab University and Bookland Bookshop Lahore.

These projects fund the Anjuman's research and other activities and provide an opportunity to apply what has been learnt through documentation and research as well as become incentives for further research. Most importantly they contribute to the preservation of traditional building skills and techniques.
