  • KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco 2018 Final
    KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco March 15-28, 2018 (arriving from Spain and Portugal) PT 1 Charles Landelle-“Juive de Tanger” Unlike our astronauts who travel to "outer space," going to Morocco is a journey into "inner space." For Morocco reveals under every tree and shrub a spiritual reality that is unlike anything we have experienced before, particularly as Jewish travelers. We enter an Islamic world that we have been conditioned to expect as hostile. Instead we find a warmth and welcome that both captivates and inspires. We immediately feel at home and respected as we enter a unique multi-cultural society whose own 2011 constitution states: "Its unity...is built on the convergence of its Arab-Islamic, Amazigh and Saharan-Hassani components, is nurtured and enriched by African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean constituents." A journey with KIVUNIM through Morocco is to glimpse the possibilities of the future, of a different future. At our alumni conference in December, 2015, King Mohammed VI of Morocco honored us with the following historic and challenge-containing words: “…these (KIVUNIM) students, who are members of the American Jewish community, will be different people in their community tomorrow. Not just different, but also valuable, because they have made the effort to see the world in a different light, to better understand our intertwined and unified traditions, paving the way for a different future, for a new, shared destiny full of the promises of history, which, as they have realized in Morocco, is far from being relegated to the past.” The following words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel remind us of the purpose of our travels this year.

Little red taxis play dodgems at the feet of the white city’s ultra-modern buildings. There is no escaping the allure of its grandeur, its pure energy, and all of a sudden we ourselves are imbued with the same heady dynamism. Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set. Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its Art Deco buildings are enough to cast a spell over them. The richness of the city’s architectural heritage is sufficient in itself to call forth the image of a city where time has no hold. Charged with In Casablanca, modern history yet resolutely turned towards the future, this most cosmopolitan of cities, buildings stand side where every nationality is represented, parades its modernity for all to see. by side with Arab-An- dalusian architecture and Art Deco creations Morocco’s economic nerve centre and keeper of a unique historical heritage, from the 1920s Casablanca reveals all of its many faces to us.

  • Des Tramways Nommés Désirs
    Métropolitiques, 13 février 2015 Des tramways nommés désirs Entre design et urbanisme fictionnel des réseaux de transport Luc Gwiazdzinski (*) En prenant comme clef de lecture le tramway, l’article propose une analyse originale et critique des mutations qui affectent la ville et la fabrique urbaine contemporaines. Il montre en particulier comment le tramway, en tant que vecteur de requalification urbaine, est utilisé pour mettre en scène la ville. L’humanité a toujours su cultiver l’art de raconter des histoires, un art partout au cœur du lien social (Salmon 2007). Depuis quelques années, les relations entre la production urbaine et la fiction, histoire fondée sur des faits imaginaires plutôt que sur des faits réels, se modifient dans un contexte de concurrence territoriale exacerbée où le design, « partie du processus comprise entre la problématique et les résultats » (Raynaud et Wollf 2009), acquiert une place de plus en plus importante et contribue à un « urbanisme fictionnel » (Matthey 2011) qui englobe même la production des réseaux de transport comme le tramway. À la fois réseau de transport et objet technique roulant, celui-ci est devenu un enjeu électoral majeur susceptible de faire basculer des majorités municipales, un vecteur de la requalification urbaine attendu dans les centres et les périphéries, et un outil indispensable de l’élu local aux côtés du vélo en libre service et de l’événementiel d’agglomération. Depuis quelques années, les nouvelles attentes en termes de développement durable et de marketing urbain en ont fait un objet de désir, une icône sacralisée et un symbole des mutations qui affectent la ville et la fabrique urbaine.

  • The Architectural Representation of Islam Tural This Book Is a Study of Dutch Mosque Designs, Objects of Heated Public Debate
    THE ARCHI THE R EPRESEN tat T EC THE ARCHITECTURAL REPRESentatION OF ISlam T ION OF OF ION This book is a study of Dutch mosque designs, objects of heated public UR debate. Until now, studies of diaspora mosque designs have largely A consisted of normative architectural critiques that reject the ubiquitous L ‘domes and minarets’ as hampering further Islamic-architectural evolution. I The Architectural Representation of Islam: Muslim-Commissioned Mosque SL Design in The Netherlands represents a clear break with the architectural A critical narrative, and meticulously analyzes twelve design processes M for Dutch mosques. It shows that patrons, by consciously selecting, steering and replacing their architects, have much more influence on their mosques than has been generally assumed. Through the careful transformation of specific building elements from Islamic architectural history to a new context, they literally aim to ‘construct’ the ultimate Islam. Their designs thus evolve not in opposition to Dutch society, but to those versions of Islam that they hold to be false. ERIC ROOSE THE ARCHITECTURAL Eric Roose (1967) graduated with M.A. degrees in Public International Law, Cultural Anthropology, and Architectural History (the latter cum laude) from REPRESENtatION OF ISLAM Leiden University. Between 2004 and 2008 he conducted PhD research at Leiden University, and between 2005 and 2008 was also an Affiliated PhD Fellow at the International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern MUSLIM-COMMISSIONED World (ISIM) in Leiden.
