Th e new business district in downtown Casablanca
consists of a compressed urban density, where
public space is reduced to its most elementary
dimension. Facing the street, this offi ce building is
elevated in order to extend the public space of the
street all the way into the heart of the property. At
the foot of the building, an enormous stair serves
as a public amphitheater to the plaza within the
building’s footprint, creating a gathering space in
a neighborhood where the streetscape is almost
exclusively held in the private realm. The Cube
Tower creates a space that can be appropriated by
the public, reinvigorating this business quarter with a sense of public prerogative. As in many new districts, the surrounding
architecture is a hodgepodge of dissonant
architectural objects. In resistance to all the
exaggerated architectural gesticulation, this tower
proposes a silent, almost mute architecture. Th is
monolith is composed of a stacking of huge blocks
of raw white concrete, all of varying sizes. Th e
subtle variations from one block to the next create
a musical vibration and an ever-changing interplay
of shadows and light. All the traditional elements
of architecture disappear, making it impossible
to perceive scale and accentuating the building’s
abstract presence.
