Exploring Architectural Frontiers Contemporary Design in the Middle East, Dr. Hassan Radoine
VCU-QATAR: Crossing Boundaries Lecture Series
Wed / 1 Feb 2017 / 6:00pm
ABSTRACT:
The internationalist standardized vocabularies and forms of architecture plague all of the cities in the Middle East, with no consideration for their environmental, ecological, cultural, geographical or social settings. The rich architectural diversity and uniqueness of the region, which once offered the world architectural wonders, has frequently been substituted with monotonous designs.
Architecture in the Middle East is trapped between corrective measures of its own tradition, and imported forms. Therefore, the complexity and diversity of the region’s cultural and geographical environments require not only smart designs, but also engrained knowledge in order to conceive comprehensively sustainable projects.
This lecture is about exploring architectural frontiers on how these environments to be comprehended, and about how contemporary design considers their contextual meanings. Dr. Hassan Radoine is an architecture curator, critic, educator, author and consultant. He is currently the Director of the École Nationale d Architecture (Morocco).

Rabat Travel Guide - Morocco Magnificent Time
Rabat Travel Guide - Morocco Magnificent Time
Rabat (الرباط) literally Fortified Place is the capital city of Morocco. The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg. On the facing shore of the river lies Salé, Rabat's bedroom community. Together with Temara the cities account for a combined metropolitan population of 2.6 million. It is an easy going city by Moroccan standards.
If you aren't in a hurry, walking around the area of Centre Ville, Agdal, The University, the Medina, the Ocean/River and the monuments is easy and pleasant. The new Corniche on the river, leading to the Oudaias, has recently been re-done, and there are expected openings of cafes soon. The route cotiere, or coastal road, past the cemetery and the Oudaias has dramatic ocean-side views, especially charming at sunset.
here are two lines between Rabat and Salé. It costs only 6 MAD for one use and it works from 6am to 11 pm from Monday to Sunday. There is a tram every 10 minutes during the week and every 20 minutes during Sunday. One of the stations (Mohammed V - Gare de Rabat) is located exactly just in front of the downtown train station (Gare de Rabat-Ville). It is a good way of getting around. Maps are available in every station.
Kasbah of the Oudaias, the picturesque medieval Almohadan fortress citadel, still a residential area, with commanding ocean views from the acropolis and refreshing Andalusian gardens on it's base. The entrance to the Andalusian gardens is through the smaller door, down the steps from the main gate. In this entrance you are less likely to be harassed by informal “guides”. Outside the gardens you will find a cozy outdoor café with a nice ocean view
.
Hassan Tower and the Royal Mausoleum, with the Royal Guards - Free Admission. Old Medina, with its various street markets (souqs). The side street leading to the Kasbah (Rue des Consuls) is full of history and traditional shops. The Tourist Police is also stationed there. The main market streets are Rue Souika and Avenue Mohammed V.
Chellah - old city founded by Carthaginians, conquered by Romans and later passed under Arab rule, just to be abandoned and settled again by unbelievable numbers of birds, namely storks. This breeding ground bubbles with bird life in spring, including stork nest on the top of old minaret. Also, historical layers are visible, with outstanding Roman and Moroccan parts. You can walk there from centre-ville, but it's a long walk. Admission is 70 MAD and it's open until 5:30 PM.
There are many things to do here, as with most Moroccan cities it is enough just to wander around and adventure where something takes your fancy. In the Kasbah (Oudaia) there is an amazing cafe that looks over the sea, where you can drink mint tea and eat sugary treats. The staff are very friendly and you can stay as long as you like soaking up the atmosphere. There is also a large and tranquil park next to the Hotel Sofitel, where people run and play football etc. You can also use the pool at the Sofitel for a charge. The park is a 10-15 Dirham taxi ride (10 minutes) from la gare central.

Artists paint Rabat for street art festival
(28 Apr 2019) LEADIN:
Artists from around the world have been invited to graffiti Morocco's capital for the fifth edition of the Jidar festival.
They each have a week to create a piece for Rabat's official celebration of street art.
STORYLINE:
Morocco's capital just got more colourful.
Previously plain walls now have paintings on show.
Morran Benlahcen, aka Morran, is a Moroccan artist who has ventured beyond the gallery space.
He's painting the wall outside Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, keeping his spray can still as the crane moves him up and down.
His work is part of the Jidar Festival, which began in 2015 and is financed by the local city hall and private sponsors.
For this 5th edition, 12 international and national artists are taking part.
The foreign contributors come from Canada, France, Spain, Netherlands Belgium and the UK.
They have all chosen walls in Rabat and have one week to complete their piece.
Morran, who is representing Morocco in the festival, says graffiti has got people talking.
I think it's something we don't always get a chance to experience in a gallery or at an art opening, he says.
Salah Malouli is the festival's the artistic director.
He's passionate about street art, and chose the theme of childhood for this year's edition.
When we were younger we would have loved to have murals in our neighbourhoods and be able to dream of making them too, he explains.
In the popular neighbourhood of Takkadoum, a construction crane takes another muralist closer to his wall.
French artist Louis Lambert, aka 3TTMan, is completing his piece, a tribute to the local culture of Morocco.
To me, murals are a gift, he says.
That's why I like making very colourful work, which makes people feel good when they see it, which can give a bit of joy and happiness, he adds.
A few blocks, away another artist is taking care of another wall, this time near the ocean.
Yves Chatelin is a French artist based in Morocco.
He decided to paint these two fishermen based on a photo he once took in the south of the country.
Even though this neighbourhood is already nice, I think a mural always adds something, he says.
I'm almost sure there will be some inspired to take up graffiti among those who came and saw us painting, he adds.
And to help the next generation in finding their voice, each year there is a collective mural where some young local artists are able to get advice from the professional.
This time, Danae Brissonnet, aka Danae, from Canada is in charge.
It's important for me that they do their own thing, she says.
I show them drawing techniques, techniques on how to draw bigger, how to use the pole with the roller, she explains.
It's a way to help others create their own murals.
The 5th edition of Jidar Festival runs from the 22 to the 28 April 2019.

Goya the star of new Spanish art exhibition
(17 Nov 2017) LEADIN:
Rabat's Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art has organised a Spanish art exhibition called From Goya to the present day.
STORYLINE:
Rabat welcomes another Spanish artist to its Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Just a few months after exhibiting the works of Pablo Picasso, the museum is now hosting a new collection named From Goya to the present day.
The entire collection, more than 70 pieces, spans more than two centuries.
It belongs to the Bank of Spain and reflects its patronage from 1782 to the present day.
Of the eight Goya paintings owned by the Bank of Spain, just one is on show in Morocco.
It is a portrait of Miguel Fernandez, Marquis of Tolsa painted by Francisco Goya in 1787.
Goya is presented as the artist who contributed most to modern Spanish art. But the exhibition moves from the past to more contemporary works too.
According to its curator Yolanda Romero, it was extremely difficult to choose pieces from the 4,000 artworks held in the bank's collection.
Our fundamental objective was to give the Moroccan public -who did not have the opportunity before- a chance to sample the Spanish art and allow them to see an important collection that reflects the history of art in our country.
Organised chronologically, the exhibition features an extraordinary selection of portraits by illustrious artists such as Salvador Maella, Vicente Lopez, Federico de Madrazo, Sorolla and Zuloaga among others.
According to Mehdi Kotbi, chairman of the Moroccan National Museums Foundation, the curators were given free reign to choose the artworks.
At the end of the day, it is a choice we have welcomed with happiness.
And those in charge of the collection, the Bank of Spain, are also delighted with the exhibition.
It is the first time in history that we are doing this, says Luis Maria Linde De Castro, Governor of the Bank of Spain.
The Bank of Spain has a magnificent collection that started back in the 18th century and I think that we have here a well chosen exhibition that reflects our art during the last two or two and a half centuries.
The exhibition, which is under the patronage of both King Mohammed VI of Morocco and King Felipe VI of Spain, runs until 4 February 2018.
