The walls of Marrakech are the setting for the restoration of the historic core of the ancient imperial capital, plus the surrounding urban fabric. The area outside the medieval walls, still free of constructions, will be transformed into a complex system combining facilities for mobility, service structures and green spaces for collective use. Nine different proposals are included in the overall plan for renewing the relationship between the old town and its areas of expansion, while developing procedures for sustainable development.
Each project expresses the features of traditional architecture: water and greenery, light and shadow, materials and colours, all used as tools in a master design that pays close attention to local characteristics, but within a distinctively contemporary approach.
