Synopsis
- Explores the impact of cultural and sociopolitical clashes caused by European colonisation of the ancient Arab-Muslim world in the Maghreb on the urban fabric and socio-economic structure of Fez, Morocco's second largest city
- Visualises recent research findings of EPFL's Laboratory Basel (laba) in striking informative graphics, maps, and photographs
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.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der «Wettlauf um Afrika», die Aufteilung und Kolonisierung des Kontinents durch europäische Mächte zwischen 1881 und 1914, prägte Afrika und wirkt bis in die Gegenwart nach. Marokko - gelegen zwischen Subsahara-Afrika, dem arabisch-muslimischen Maghreb und Südeuropa - hat auch heute noch mit den daraus resultierenden kulturellen und soziopolitischen Konflikten zu kämpfen. Fez Lessons: Industrious Habitat widmet sich Marokkos früherer Hauptstadt Fez, der heute zweitgrössten Stadt des Landes. Basierend auf einem Forschungsprogramm des Laboratoire Bâle (laba) der EPFL untersucht das Buch, inwiefern sich diese Konflikte in den urbanen und sozioökonomischen Strukturen der Stadt niederschlagen. Es geht dabei Fragen der Identität, Authentizität, Tradition, kulturellen Globalisierung und der Verwendung lokaler Ressourcen nach. Die Ergebnisse der Recherche werden in dem neuen Band der Reihe Teaching and Research in Architecture durch aussagekräftige Bilder und Grafiken visualisiert und durch Vorschläge für architektonische Interventionen ergänzt, die von Studierenden des laba erarbeitet wurden.
