Medina of Fez intervention, Morocco runner-up 

 

The aim of this project is the rehabilitation of Place Lalla Yeddouna and its surrounding areas through its openess to the river and through the creation of supportive structures.

We decided to focus on the preservation of cultural and heritage values of the Moroccan Architecture. Therefore our intervention starts from the rehabilitation of the existing buildings (Fondouk Lahssair and Dar Al Iraqui), passes through the adaptation of parts of the old structures next to the river and then finishes in the design of new buildings.
