As part of the continuation of the German-Moroccan project "Know- how transfer relative to design of climate-adapted buildings in urban areas", the national academy of archi-tecture of Marrakesh (ENAM) wanted to take part in the COP22 Marrakesh as an active center of sustainability regarding design of climate-adapted buildings.

This brought IPROconsult to design a modular, multifunctional and itinerant "open space for the climate", built from Carlo Bancolini (HORMÊ) in co-operation with the ENAM and presen-

 

ted according to a specific program in several selected spots in Marrakesh during the COP22.

This space ought to be considered as a demonstration building, showing the benefits of the use and integration of materials and construction techniques with environmental and energy con-cerns. This "hotspot" of climate friend-ly design also aimed at supporting the participative process of planning of the future ENAM campus.

An exhibition about the principles of holistic integrated planning was or-ganised in this temporary space de-

 

signed according to these same prin-ciples: a versatile and flexible space, adapted to the environment, which stages the interaction between archi-tecture and environment. 

 

This open space can be used interac-tively as a classroom, workshop or ex-hibition  center for the ongoing plan-ning process of the future campus. It is moveable, extensible and therefore usable throughout the construction phase of the future  ENAM campus.

According to the ENAM’s vocation, this open space for the climate shall be a consecration of the principles of sustainability:

  • Sustainability of the space: provision of new interim facilities for ENAM,  which is in urgent need of space for the courses and workshops of student architects.

 

  • Sustainability of content: partici-pation of the students and teachers in the project "Extension of the cam-pus of the ENAM" as a practical example of a sustainable and effi-cient building.

 

  • Temporal durability: use of the pavil-ion throughout the planning and construction process of the future campus and integration of the pavil-ion into the new building.
