The Moroccan city of Fez, founded in the ninth century CE, is one
of the most precious urban jewels of Islamic civilization. For more
than 40 years Titus Burckhardt worked to document and preserve the
artistic and architectural heritage of Fez in particular and
Morocco in general. These newly translated lectures, delivered
while Burckhardt was living and working in Fez, explore how the
historic city can be preserved without turning it from a living
organism into a dead museum-city, and how it can be adapted and
updated using the values that gave birth to the city and its way of
life. Aided by photographs and sketches made during the course of
his lifetime, Burckhardt conveys what it means to be a living
Islamic city.
