Driss Kettani Architecte

Guelmim Technology School

The Technology School of Guelmim in Morocco is a successful collaborative design effort by architects Saad El Kabbaj, Driss Kettani and Mohamed Amine Siana. This linear and geometric school is composed of several buildings which encapsulate modernity and traditional Moroccan heritage. Cantilevered overhangs and shaded hallways create cool spaces and natural air ventilation in the extreme climate. 

The buildings are positioned in such a fashion that the changing position of the sun creates distinct shadows against the mud colored paint and creates a textured and interesting appearance. The idea was to create a modern building while paying tribute to its heritage and site. 

The cladding technique symbolises everything about the Moroccan landscape, and the structure follows a simple and clear modern approach, focusing on linearity and symmetry. That's the real brilliance of this project, which met all the requirements without anyone being able to pinpoint why. 

The building is organized in an L-shaped pattern and is located on the north-south axis. They are quite large in size, creating a huge contrast between the inside and the outside. However, this excessive proportion is balanced by prominent square and rectangular openings. This feature is remarkable for its continuity.
