Jacques Majorelle School in Benguerir / ZArchitecture Studio
Briefly

The Jacques Majorelle School incorporates climate-sensitive design, using courtyards for ventilation and communal engagement, demonstrating a commitment to educational architecture tailored to local culture.
The project’s „comb-like“ layout clearly delineates spaces for different age groups while allowing integration, fostering both functional demands and a harmonious user experience throughout the school.
Leveraging local materials and adapting designs to fit resource availability were crucial strategies for the architects in meeting the ambitious one-year project timeline without sacrificing quality.
The school's structure focuses on reinforced concrete for durability, with local stone and natural finishes emphasizing its connection to the Moroccan context and enhancing environmental performance.
