CONCOURS DU POLE CULTUREL DE FES ARCHITECTURE FOR THE CITY OF SIDI IFNI CONSULTATION ERRACHIDIA SAINT GOBAIN COMPETITION FINAL GRADUATE THESIS
Beyond its cultural dimension and its artistic vocation, the Cultural Pole of Fez will be a landmark that reflects both the identity of the city of Fez and architectural modernity. It will reinterpret its brand image by using its location, near the entrance to the city.
The architectural statement of the project takes shape from multiple considerations :
The main idea is to create a building at the entrance of the city, which offers a link and an attachment to the city of Fez, which meets the requirements of sustainable development and reflects the image between tradition and modernity.
The overall approach was to adopt a refined modern vision with aspects of Moroccan architecture by integrating our heritage during the design of the project and not just embalming it in a vision of sanctification of the past.
The concept is to reinterpret the medina route and ambience created by craftsmen in a contemporary way in an attempt to replicate the atmosphere of the medina's alleyways.

MASTER PLAN
If we were to erect a public building that would contribute in a city’s socio cultural vitality, it would have to be :
ERECT A BUILDING AGREED ON UPON THE TARGETED PEOPLE
A BUILDING PROMOTING DEBATES AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
THE BUILDING ITSELF SHOULD BE FLEXIBLE AND CONTEXTUALLY EVOLVING IN A WAY
A BUILDING PROMOTING INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
A LEGIBLE BUILDING
A CONVERSATION STARTER BUILDING
AN INVITING LANDMARK
A BUILDING WITH TRANSPARENCY OR WITH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR INTERCONNECTIONS
A BUILDING REFERENCING BNI CHIKAR UNIQUE STYLE
Introducing green areas for better ventilation and healthier environment, also, for keeping that connection between inside outside.
Making the alleyway lead to the theater as the main building “The star building” in response to people’s request
Highlighting the interior alleyway by making it visible from the outside as a high outstanding element.
Creation of an interior alleyway that crosses the building.
