Fez Lessons, industrious Habitat, teaching and research in architecture

«Fez Lessons: Industrious Habitat» investigates how these clashes have marked the socio­economic structure and the urban fabric of Fez, and whether or not the resulting morphology offers alternative and relevant means of human association and community. Alongside a growing stream of large-scale international investment, the constant enticement of tourism, and a world­wide revival of nationalism, we are looking for tiny cues, nagging doubts, and signs of the fusion between form and life, raising questions about identity, authenticity, tradition, the globalization of culture, and the use of local resources.
