Investigación y restauración de un mausoleo en el oasis del Ferkla, nominada a los premios Aga khan 2019 de Arquitectura.
Morocco has a vernacular architectural heritage of recognized value, which constitutes an indissoluble part of its cultural legacy. In the south of the country, specifically in the High Atlas mountain range and the pre-Saharan oases, we mainly find earth constructions of an incomparable landscape integration and plasticity. However, the political and social changes of the last decades are favoring the abandonment of these constructions, placing many of them at risk of disappearing. The objective of this contribution is to reveal the characteristics and weaknesses that the new constructions present today. The method used has consisted in analyzing the preservation actions that are being carried out, both by the Moroccan public administration and by private individuals, including those developed by the authors through documentation, cataloging, virtualization, and restoration.
La arqueología es la ciencia que estudia las artes, los monumentos y los objetos antiguos a través de sus restos. Desde sus inicios la metodología utilizada para llevar a cabo este estudio se ha basado en el dibujo detallado de dichos objetos, al que se fueron incorporando otros tipos de análisis físicos y químicos. De manera que se puede afirmar que todos los objetos y sitios arqueológicos que se desean analizar, se dibujan para su mejor conocimiento, restauración y difusión. Pero aunque la arqueología moderna existe como disciplina desde el siglo XIX, ha sido en la última década, con la madurez de las aplicaciones digitales, cuando el dibujo de la arqueología ha tenido una verdadera revolución. Ya a finales del siglo XX, con la aparición del dibujo informatizado y la incipiente fotografía digital, fuimos testigos de algunos cambios, aunque no fueron sustanciales, conviviendo estas nuevas tecnologías con las técnicas de levantamiento manual.

La intensa labor de campo realizada, así como el estudio y análisis de sus resultados, han permitido a sus autores avanzar en el conocimiento de su territorio, de su paisaje, de la arquitectura y de su sociedad, factores que quedan ampliamente detallados en esta publicaron, tanto a nivel descriptivo como a nivel gráfico y fotográfico. A través de mapas y planos, generales y de detalle, se muestran las características de su paisaje cultural, de sus estructuras urbanas, de sus viviendas y de sus sistemas constructivos, todo ello visto desde una doble perspectiva que va desde lo tradicional hasta la implantación de las técnicas y modelos más actuales. Por último, el libro recoge una experiencia piloto llevada a cabo con diversas asociaciones de mujeres en la que a través de un taller de producción de mermeladas de dátil se ha fomentado la generación de recursos y el empoderamiento de este sector de la sociedad.

El río Outat nace cerca del Jbel Ayachi (3.747 metros) en los alrededores del ksar Tatiouine, lugar en donde se inicia el valle que discurre en dirección Norte a lo largo de algo más de 15 km. hasta llegar a la ciudad de Midelt. A lo largo de este recorrido encontramos en sus márgenes una superficie de tierra fértil ampliada gracias a la ejecución de una red de acequias realizada por la población de origen bereber, que hace años decidió trasladarse desde el lado Sur de la cordillera en busca de un mejor entorno en donde vivir. Con estas tribus llegaron al valle unas tradiciones y formas de hábitat propias de los oasis presaharianos, que contrastan en un entorno con fuertes lluvias estacionales y habituales nevadas, proporcionándonos un paisaje único en todo Marruecos. La alta concentración de ciudades de tierra denominadas ksar (ksour pl.), que encontramos en el valle le da un carácter muy particular, que no se encuentra en ningún otro valle al Norte de la gran cordillera.
Con la lectura de esta obra conoceremos por qué y cómo llegaron los primeros pobladores a este valle, tratando temas como la trashumancia y la sedentarización, la organización política, social y económica, e incluso la vida en el valle hoy en día. Nos aproximaremos al increíble paisaje y a su arquitectura, recorriendo todas sus ciudades de tierra, analizando desde su urbanismo hasta sus tipologías, sistemas constructivos y materiales empleados. Este libro incluye un mapa del valle a mayor escala en un desplegable, con la situación de los ksour para facilitar su localización.

The conference’s main objective is the exchange of knowledge and sharing for the better understanding, assessment, management and exploitation of culture and heritage that developed on the Mediterranean coast in the modern age, taking into account the wide distribution of these results.
The Conference has an interdisciplinary aim where architects, engineers, archaeologists, historians, geographers, cartographers, heritage managers, tourism experts, experts in restoration-conservation and promotion of heritage will participate. The idea is to provide a more inclusive, more real and more up to date views, leading us to the point where we could find the investigations of this matter, in the twenty-first century.
The theme is centered on the fortifications of the western Mediterranean (Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco) in the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries, although it does not exclude other Mediterranean countries and other fortifications from this era.

In several countries and particular cities this situation has been questioned during the last decades.
In Sweden, certain studies indicate an increased interest in an active involvement of archaeology from the part of individual municipalities and provincial governments, and even on the state level in certain cases.
In France, Lavendhomme at Inrap has discussed various possible new kinds of uses of archaeology in the planning process, and similar discussions start to appear in other countries. In the UK, archaeologists are increasingly involved in mitigating heritage impacts of building projects at the design stage rather than during construction (excavating).
To take just one example, in Sweden the archaeologist Stefan Larsson has developed a project with the municipality of Kalmar, in which city planners, architects and archaeologists collaborate in making suggestions for a city plan in a segment of the city.
In this workshop we will focus on possible new ways of collaboration between architects and archaeologists. With a particular stress over the intelligent use of digital solution for documenting, designing and representing the contest and the new ideas. We wish to open a new kind of communication between these research fields and related praxis.
The possible contributions from archaeology include questions of conservation, diffusion of archaeological knowledge by different means, but also other fields, including practical knowledge on the development of particular districts over time, general knowledge in comparative studies of urbanism, questions of design or questions of “gestalt” in urban settings, and the intersections between archaeology, architecture and public art. Last but not least the topic of the communication, which in our time is something totally linked to the digital media.
We hope this workshop will help to open this field, and that it will be followed by other scholarly meetings on more limited particular cases and questions and, potentially, by a larger conference building on the workshop’s outcomes.
