Abstract

This article examines the everyday adaptation practices of marginalized inhabitants in present-day Morocco as they respond to their urban domestic environments and resist recent slum relocation projects. We first address urban policies implemented during the French protectorate era (1912–56), many of which have continued to impact Moroccan cities in the twenty-first century. Our research emphasizes the inadequacy of current urban policies and architectural designs, as well as their incompatibility with inhabitants’ ways of living and spatial needs. We explore how different socio-spatial practices in traditional medina cities, shantytowns, and social housing complexes illustrate marginalized social groups’ adaptation to official policies and sociocultural changes. Acknowledging that the built environment expresses the beliefs, cultures, and social backgrounds of inhabitants, we aim to illustrate their ways of living through case studies of two marginalized communities in the Douar El-Garaa shantytown in Rabat and a social housing complex in the suburbs of Casablanca. Our findings identify socio-spatial appropriation and adaptation practices that are rooted in sociocultural habits codified by Islamic customs and other Moroccan cultural norms.
摩洛哥空间社会文化实践:应对比东维尔和社会住房中的边缘化问题
本文研究了当今摩洛哥边缘化居民的日常适应实践,他们对城市家庭环境做出了回应,并抵制最近的贫民窟搬迁项目。我们首先讨论了法国保护国时期(1912-56 年)实施的城市政策,其中许多政策在二十一世纪继续影响着摩洛哥城市。我们的研究强调了当前城市政策和建筑设计的不足,以及它们与居民生活方式和空间需求的不相容。我们探讨了传统麦地那城市、棚户区和社会住宅区中不同的社会空间实践是如何说明边缘化社会群体对官方政策和社会文化变革的适应性的。认识到建筑环境表达了居民的信仰、文化和社会背景,我们旨在通过对拉巴特 Douar El-Garaa 棚户区和卡萨布兰卡郊区社会住宅区两个边缘化社区的案例研究,说明他们的生活方式。我们的研究结果确定了社会空间占用和适应做法,这些做法植根于伊斯兰习俗和其他摩洛哥文化规范编纂的社会文化习惯。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer-reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged. While the main focus is on architecture, papers that explore architecture from other disciplinary perspectives, such as art, history, archaeology, anthropology, culture, spirituality, religion and economics are also welcome. The journal is specifically interested in contemporary architecture and urban design in relation to social and cultural history, geography, politics, aesthetics, technology and conservation. Spanning across cultures and disciplines, IJIA seeks to analyse and explain issues related to the built environment throughout the regions covered. The audience of this journal includes both practitioners and scholars. The journal publishes both online and in print. The first issue was published in January 2012.
