Diu Island, a former Portuguese colony located off the southwest coast of Gujarat state, India (Shokoohy and Shokoohy in South Asian Studies 26:161–191, 2010), is known for its nearly 85% migratory native population who reside in European countries (Rahman in With the island’s old-timers moving to Europe, Diu’s 400-year-old Portuguese influence is fading, 2018). The migration of Diuenses started during the latter part of the Portuguese Empire, post-1950s, when Diuenses moved to Mozambique for employment purposes (Cachado in Locating Portuguese Hindus: transnationality in urban settings 76:109–124, 2014). Many continued migrating to Portugal and other European countries after the empire ended and civil war broke out in Mozambique. Diuenses have been recognised as a minority colonial population within Lisbon, and academic research on their culture, social and religious value systems have been conducted from an anthropological perspective (Cachado in Para lá do Martim Moniz: comerciantes portugueses hindus-gujaratis em Lisboa 21:203–220, 2017; Lourenço and Cachado in South Asian Studies 34:47–56, 2018). This research builds upon existing research to take on an architectural perspective, exploring and documenting the housing typologies encountered by Diuenses through their migration journey. This investigation focuses on documenting the architectural spaces that Diuenses occupied in their host cities of Mozambique, Lisbon, London and Leicester between 1950 and 2010 through their multi-country, transnational migration journey. This will be mapped against remittance architecture seen on Diu Island to understand how the typology of homes experienced in host countries coincides with remittance architecture on Diu Island. In doing so, the research explores how remittance architectural micro spatial practises differ between Diu Town and Diu village populations.
