| Summary: | Organized in three parts, this Master’s Design Study [MDS] book summarizes the efforts of a year-long
exploration of finding a way to spatialize the lessons to be learned from the urban experiments of Michel
Ecochard and members of Team 10 [ATBAT Afrique, GAMMA Group] that took place under the French
Protectorate during the mid-twentieth century in Casablanca, Morocco. While a great deal of post-colonial
scholarship exists on this topic [Avermaete, Cohen, Eleb, et. al.], missing from this body of work is a rigorous
attempt to offer mappings, diagrams, architectural, and urban design strategies that can participate in the
negotiation process between colonial modernism and the rich culture of Morocco. More pressing today is the
necessity for strategies that can begin to negotiate between this existing culture and globalization. === text
