The gateway
This monumental installation, 12 metres high and 50 metres long, serves as a gateway to
the plenary sessions. A complex geometry is constructed from a layering of elevations;
the motif of a traditional doorway is carved out of the multitude of layers. Made of a
stacking of identical wooden pieces locally sourced in Morocco, the structure is built in
such a way as to enable the pieces to be taken down and reutilized to construct a series of
pavilions in public gardens throughout the city.
