presentazione:
Aït Ahmed is an amazigh village of 220 inhabitants located in a hilly area in the perifery of Agadir (Morocco).
This research project aims to study local materials and knowledge for then reproposing them into the design of 3 new infrastructures for the village: a production hall (argan oil production), a public bath (hammam) and a preschool (kindergarten).
In Aït Ahmed, there is abundance of water and the territory is covered by one of the oldest tree in the world; Argania Spinosa. The fruit of the Argan tree constitute an endemic ecosystem of southern Morocco and plays an essential socio-economic and environmental role.
In rural villages of Morocco housing is characterized by the use of stone as a basic building material. The walls are, most commonly, constructed in rubble hour with a mortar of earth mixed or not with the straw. The coatings on the walls are made of earth, alone and mixed with the straw. On this protective coating, about the place of finishing made of clayey earth of whitish color.
In 1960, a earthwake destroyed many buildings in the area and since then much of the village has been rebuilt in cement.
