The goal of the competition is to stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty in the City of Fez. The primary goal is to revitalize the Medina through redesigning and renovation of five strategically important sites and make it attractive for both residents and visitors. Revival of cultural, educational, commercial and religious activities compatible with the city morphology.
While preserving the traditional aspect of the city, we created the concept of the self supporting cell that unites different exiting cells of the medina under the principle of economical self supporting activities.
By the placement of these cells on the site around the Lalla Yedouna square, we seized to keep the traditional character
of the place, animated by locals. Our main intention was to save this square from exclusive tourist flows – which would transform it in a museum, and to intercalate the artisans’ flows with the tourists, so that the inherent artisan character of the place is maintained.
