African project COP22 – Morocco The restaurant The two restaurants have been designed as interlocking structures that have been pulled apart to create a public agora at the heart of the village. This transveral landscape creates a transition between the zones of the negociators and the plenary halls. Built as an accretion of volumes and voids, the restaurants and adjacent gardens allude to traditional urban compositions in the villages around Marrakech. They are built of modular wooden panels as temporary structures that will be dismantled, reassembled, and reused after the end of the COP22. by Luc Boegly africandesignmagazine.com 39
