Boramy Viguier Men’s Spring 2021

Boramy Viguier’s off-kilter world defied interpretation, but then that was the point.

Espace Claude Monet

The architectural project is set in the protected area immediately surrounding the cathedral; it replaces the former conference centre, whose superstructures are due for demolition.The main building on the cathedral concourse comprises two tiered volumes: a first volume peaking at less than 15 metres in height, constructed on an arcade off Rue des Carmes, and topped with a deep, densely planted terrace designed to give the appearance of a “hanging garden”; every technical arrangement has been made to facilitate the growth and ongoing maintenance of the plants.

The whole building rises, at its highest point, to 10 storeys on the north side on Avenue du Mondial 98, and to 6 storeys on the south side, with varying heights for the "terraced" top storeys. The building has a complex volume formed by a series of recesses and overhangs. All homes will have a balcony or terrace, protected by fixed or sliding panels: the whole constitutes a consistent volume finished in a red colour palette (metal cladding, in aluminium cassette panels).

Rabat est une ville merveilleuse qui a su conserver cette sorte de charme retenu et élégant dont le Maroc a le secret ; mais comme toutes les villes du monde elle a une impérieuse nécessité à maintenir son inscription dans le monde contemporain et une certaine forme de modernité.
