The infamous Scramble for Africa in the late 19th and 20th
centuries disrupted the entire African continent with enduring
repercussions. Morocco - located at a crossroads between
Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab-Muslim world in the Maghreb, and
Mediterranean Europe - has struggled to withstand the resulting
cultural and sociopolitical clashes ever since. Fez Lessons:
Industrious Habitat looks at Fez, Morocco's famous former capital
and today its second-largest city. Based on a recent research
program conducted by EPFL's Laboratory Basel (laba), it
investigates how these clashes have marked the city's socioeconomic
structure and urban fabric, and whether or not it offers
alternative and relevant means of human association and community.
Given the growing stream of large-scale international investment,
the constant enticement of tourism, and a worldwide revival of
nationalism, Laba's student's and researchers were looking for tiny
cues, nagging doubts, and signs of the fusion between form and
life, raising questions about identity, authenticity, tradition,
the globalisation of culture, and the use of local resources. Their
findings are visualised in the book in striking images, graphics
and maps. Students' proposals for architectural interventions
addressing these issues are presented through images and plans.
