This ornamentation defines Emirates the minarets, porches, interior courtyards and patios. The ceramic colors in different tones and arrangements provide spaces with an exceptional quality that highly characterizes this medieval Arab architecture. The polychromic compositions of the ceramic with their intrinsic spatial and aesthetical value remain largely unexplored. This research attempts to explore first, an untapped ancestral know-how or “savoir- faire” and second, to demonstrate that this architectural heritage has a colorful atmosphere, whose evolution is linked to the relationship between shapes, lights, materials and colors as well as its socio-cultural context. The investigation method consists of a survey of colors on ceramics and an analysis of arrangement patterns between colors and geometry (relationship and mixtures of colors) to determine the rhythms, harmonies of figures and background, optical compositions, and finally determine the color language and agreements that result. Color properties, the subtle combination of colors and materials interacting with an exquisite geometry display a decisive influence on the appearance and the ambiance that emerge, providing brightness and light, creating rhythm, motley and fusion in a web of optical effects, filled with symbolism, suitable for the cultural and religious circumstances of the place.

    Tradition and Sustainability in Vernacular Architecture of Southeast Morocco

The typology studied is called ksar (ksour, pl.). Throughout various research projects, we have been able to explore this territory, documenting in field sheets the characteristics of a total of 30 ksour in the Outat valley, 20 in the mountain range and 53 in the Mdagra oasis. The objective of the present work is to analyze, through qualitative and quantitative data, the main characteristics of this vernacular architecture as a perfect example of an environmentally respectful habitat, obtaining concrete data on its traditional character and its sustainability. The methodology followed is based on case studies and, as a result, we have obtained a typological classification of the ksour of this region and their relationship with the territory, as well as the social, functional, defensive, productive, and building characteristics that define them. Knowing and puttin in value this vernacular heritage is the first step towards protecting it and to show our commitment to future generations.

    A NOTE FROM SIR RICHARD BRANSON “ In 1998, I went to Morocco with the goal of circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon. Whilst there, my parents found a beautiful Kasbah and dreamed of turning it into a wonderful Moroccan retreat. Sadly, I didn’t quite manage to realise my goal on that occasion, however I did purchase that magnificent Kasbah and now my parents’ dream has become a reality. I am pleased to welcome you to Kasbah Tamadot, (Tamadot meaning soft breeze in Berber), which is perhaps one of the most beautiful properties in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

Il restitue par la description et l’explication du phénomène du nomadisme une vision poétique du monde, une vision en rupture avec les paradigmes à l’œuvre dans l’évolution des sociétés et des communautés humaines. Le nomadisme représente plus qu’une modalité de la résilience face au processus de désenchantement du monde, il exprime la résistance consciente à ce processus. C’est une résistance fondée sur des modes culturels ancestraux, notamment un mode d’exploitation de l’environnement naturel, d’organisation sociale, de production culturelle et un mode de vie et de pensée. L’approche adoptée dans l’ouvrage est à la fois descriptive et interprétative. La description porte sur l’environnement des Ayt Merghad et sur le processus de sédentarisation qui affecte leur mode de vie.
