Synopsis
Morocco—located at a crossroads between sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghrebi Arab world, and Mediterranean Europe—has struggled with cultural and sociopolitical clashes since the infamous Scramble for Africa in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These clashes have left enduring marks on the urban fabric of Fez, Morocco’s former capital and second-largest city, including its landmarks and landscapes.
Fez Lessons is a project of Laba, or Laboratory Basel, founded in 2011 as a satellite studio of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Based on recent research, the book explores Fez’s urban fabric, relaying a compelling story of how the city has been shaped and reshaped over time. The findings are visualized in striking images, graphics, and maps and followed by proposals for architectural interventions that address key issues by facilitating alternate forms of association and community. Given the growing stream of international investment, the constant enticement of tourism, and a worldwide revival of nationalism, interventions focus on these challenges, among others, raising questions about identity, authenticity, tradition, globalization, and the use of local resources.

Paperback. Condition: New. The infamous Scramble for Africa in the late 19th and 20th centuries disrupted the entire African continent with enduring repercussions. Morocco - located at a crossroads between Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab-Muslim world in the Maghreb, and Mediterranean Europe - has struggled to withstand the resulting cultural and sociopolitical clashes ever since.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.
