Résumé:

"This book accompanies the éponymous exhibition exhibition of the Moroccan Pavilion at the 19th Venice Biennale, marking its inaugural participation. Far more than a simple presentation of the scenographic installation, it provides insights into the Pavilion's central theme: construction techniques using local materials. The book delves deeper, broadens, and extends this reflection through a multiscalar approach, exploring climate and ecological challenges, the transmission of knowledge, circular economy principles, and the innovative potential of Moroccan architecture. Structured as a trilogy between material, technique, and humanity, the book is divided into two complementary sections, readable from either direction. The first, artistic and immersive, takes the form of a journal where dialogues, sketches, photographs, and archives reveal the behind-the-scenes process of designing the Pavilion, blending experimentation and production. The second, intellectual and academic, brings together articles and essays by researchers, architects, and geologists, situating local construction techniques within a sustainable reflection on their future."--Publisher's description.
