The exhibition New South at Galerie CROUX in Paris features the work of six young architects, including two Next Generation prize-winners, Meriem Chabani and Chamss Doha Oulkadi. New South explores how sustainable design addresses economic, social, cultural and environmental challenges by examining different ways of living, construction methodologies and cultural representations in developing cities of the South.
New South features works from six Southern cities: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso; Chittagong, Bangladesh; Tangier, Morocco; Mecca, Saudi Arabia; Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain; and, Agadir, Morocco. The design responses are informed by several disciplines including geopolitics, anthropology, and sociology: actively questioning the place of the architect in the global context and the hybridization of local knowledge and contemporary visions.
