Territory as Palimpsest
teaching 
2017 - now

The agency actively engages in teaching, particularly within the School of Architecture, Planning & Design (SAP+D) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), sharing its experience while fostering connections between pedagogy, research, and architectural practice.The Moroccan rural territory constitutes a privileged and complex field of observation, condensing multiple tensions and successive layers of rewriting, where ways of inhabiting continuously adapt to environmental conditions. Territory is approached as a living palimpsest : an assemblage of historical, social, geographical, and ecological strata whose understanding is essential to any relevant architectural intervention.Students are invited to explore contemporary relationships between urbanization, nature, and human and non-human societies. The pedagogical approach promotes a holistic, sensitive, and critical perspective, enabling a departure from inherited dichotomies such as rural/urban, traditional/modern, or natural/artificial. Guidance therefore focuses on analytical readings of territory, the integration of social and environmental issues, and the construction of an architectural position grounded in contextual sensitivity and critical rigor.
