Official catalog of the National Pavilion of the Kingdom of Morocco at the 19th Biennale of Architecture in Venice.
This book accompanies the éponymous exhibition exhibition of the Moroccan Pavilion at the 19th Venice Biennale, marking its inaugural participation. Far more than a simple presentation of the scenographic installation, it provides insights into the Pavilion's central theme: construction techniques using local materials.
This book accompanies the éponymous exhibition exhibition of the Moroccan Pavilion at the 19th Venice Biennale, marking its inaugural participation. Far more than a simple presentation of the scenographic installation, it provides insights into the Pavilion's central theme: construction techniques using local materials.
The book delves deeper, broadens, and extends this reflection through a multiscalar approach, exploring climate and ecological challenges, the transmission of knowledge, circular economy principles, and the innovative potential of Moroccan architecture.
Structured as a trilogy between material, technique, and humanity, the book is divided into two complementary sections, readable from either direction.
The first, artistic and immersive, takes the form of a journal where dialogues, sketches, photographs, and archives reveal the behind-the-scenes process of designing the Pavilion, blending experimentation and production.
The second, intellectual and academic, brings together articles and essays by researchers, architects, and geologists, situating local construction techniques within a sustainable reflection on their future.
