In the city of Casablanca, informal adaptation to the build environment are made on a daily basis. This shows the beautiful capacity of the users to adapt their environment to their own needs.

In this research and design project I searched for a formal framework that preserves this qualities and, at the same time, creates space for the users to form their own environment.Coauthors research report: Matthijs Engele Meng YangArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science
