    This project was developped in an associative angle, in Figuig, Morocco. The main aim was to build a social center with few ressources.

    In this part of the country, near from the desert, the temperature varies between 4°C in winter, and 46°C in summer. Temperature difference between night and day is really important, and requires a wide thermic inertia. The building's body is made of earth, reinforced by a concrete frame. The roof includes 4 cm wide concrete archs.

    During summer, the building can be cooled down by humidifying the earth.
