A view of the rubble in the earthquake-hit village of Imi N’Tala, in central Morocco on October 5, 2023. AFPPIX: How do you rebuild and earthquake-proof a centuries-old Moroccan mountain village, at speed, without sacrificing its traditional architecture?
One month on, the survivors are still living in tents and relying on a field hospital and temporary schools set up by the authorities. In recent years, “often poorly built” concrete construction has displaced traditional earthen and stone buildings in the High Atlas, said Elie Mouyal, another Moroccan architect.“I saw many more collapsed concrete houses,“ he said. While some earthen buildings had also fallen down, he added, they were mostly already in poor condition before the earthquake.
Rabat has announced a budget of 120 billion dirhams over five years to support 4.2 million people affected by the quake. Given how long this could take, Mouyal has designed a prototype “nouala”, a type of traditional cabin, as a potential temporary housing solution.
