Tarik Zoubdi Architectte

In Tarik Zoubdi’s opinion, architecture is the poetic spatial translation of human aspirations for a better life. I believe in contextual architecture, which claims to belong to a place, as if it has always been part of it. I believe that we must resist to the collective temptation to fall into “folk mimicry”, and renounce to any temptation to “fashion” by seeking timelessness.
