INTBAU Morocco aims to promote Moroccan architecture and art in relation to the act of building, by highlighting local expertise, construction traditions, and architectural expressions that shape Morocco’s built landscapes: cities, villages, and territories.
The initiative is part of a heritage, cultural, and forward-looking approach: preserving the knowledge derived from Morocco’s built heritage while demonstrating its relevance to contemporary architecture and urban planning.
INTBAU Morocco acts as a platform for transmission, research, and dissemination, fostering the sharing of knowledge, expertise, and experiences between artisans, architects, urban planners, researchers, institutions, and communities.
Through its actions, INTBAU Morocco aims to integrate Moroccan building skills into the international dialogue on architecture, affirming their contribution to current issues of architectural quality, cultural identity, and sustainability.
