Excerpt: Technology School of Guelmim is an educational institution designed by Saad El Kabbaj Architect, Driss Kettani Architecte & Siana Architecte. The starting point was to provide a strong architecture, contemporary but inspired by the context in which it occurs. The challenge was to recreate a certain mood, a certain scale with modern tools and architectural vocabulary.Thus, the architecture is voluntarily massive, powerful and plays with the contrast between interior and exterior.

The starting point was to provide a strong architecture, contemporary but inspired by the context in which it occurs. The challenge was to recreate a certain mood, a certain scale with modern tools and architectural vocabulary.Thus, the architecture is voluntarily massive, powerful and plays with the contrast between interior and exterior. The various buildings are organized along a north-south axis through a partly covered path, and are organized on L-forms or indoor gardens.

This organization helps readability and clarity of the various entities of the project while maintaining a set of scales adapted to the diversity of the program.Similarly, a reflection on the thermal quality results a work orientation, protection of openings and vegetation cover, thus conditioning part of the architecture vocabulary and principles. At last, the project Research finally assumes a certain theatricality, a certain gravitas that meets the solemnity inherent to educational institutions.
