African project
Laayoune Technology School – Morocco
he site, quite away from the city centre, generated a need for “urbanity” through an
organization around an axial scheme, and thus providing a comprehensive and clear
reading and at the same time a diversity of ambiances.
PROJECT TEAM
The various buildings are fragmented to allow maximum natural ventilation and
lighting and are connected by a set of external paths, squares, covered squares,
mineral gardens to justly enhance this notion of urbanity. The architectural
vocabulary is solid, geometric, and plays with the contrast-ocher-exterior and
interior-light. Different sun protection devices are used: brise-soleil, double skin,
protected walkways etc. The materials used are minimised to emphasise abstraction
nd coherence of the whole, while meeting the need of sustainability and easy maintenance.
