“A model for Morocco and other regions of the world” – Holcim Awards Jury
The jury considered the strength of the project to be its approach of merging the pedagogic concept with the building itself by making the construction a showcase of both preservation and advanced development of cultural know-how in local craftsmanship: different earth and wood construction methods as well as local ceramics and gardening are integral parts of the building complex demonstrating broad local resources and new technologies to the trainees.
