Abstract
This project adds back quality to the living conditions of the most dense district of Casablanca. By providing the district Maârif with a common center, I consolidate the currently disconnected neighborhoods. The main program on this site is focused around education. Education here is being used as a social equalizer and to communize the district. Because this shared resource can quickly adapt to the ever-changing needs, I hope the users will feel strongly connected to this shared facility and strengthen the identity of the district.
