Groupe Des Architectes Modernes Marocains
The Group of Moroccan Modern Architects () or GAMMA was a collective of modernist architects working in Morocco. It began under the direction of Michel Écochard, director of urban planning in Morocco during the later years of the French protectorate, and was led by Elie Azagury after Morocco's independence. History GAMMA initially included the architects George Candillis, Alexis Josic and Shadrach Woods. In the early 1950s, Écochard commissioned GAMMA to design housing that provided a "culturally specific living tissue" for laborers and migrants from the countryside. Sémiramis, (Honeycomb), and Carrières Centrales were some of the first examples of this style that came to be called vernacular modernism. Ecochard's 8x8 meter model, designed to address Casablanca's issues with overpopulation and rural exodus, was pioneering in the architecture of collective housing. It was the first time the French Protectorate built housing for the colonized rather than the colonizers, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Abdeslam Faraoui
Abd al-Salam ( ar, عبد السلام) is a male Muslim honorific or given name, built on the Arabic words '' Abd'', ''al-'' and '' Salam''. The name means "servant of the All-peaceable", ''as-Salam'' being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. Because the letter s is a sun letter, the letter l of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Salam'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd as-Salam''. Alternative transliterations include ''Abdul Salam'', ''Abdul Salaam'', ''Abdus Salam'' and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation. Notable people with the name include: People * Abd as-Salam ibn Mashish al-Alami (1140–1227), Moroccan Sufi saint *Abd As-Salam Al-Asmar (1455–1575), Libyan Muslim saint *Abdel Salam Al Nabulsy (1899–1968), Lebanese actor *Abdus Salam (editor) (1910–1977), Bangladesh journalist *Abdul-Salam Ojeili (1917–2006), ...

Modernist Architects
Modern architecture, or modernist architecture, was an architectural movement or architectural style based upon new and innovative technologies of construction, particularly the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete; the idea that form should follow function ( functionalism); an embrace of minimalism; and a rejection of ornament. It emerged in the first half of the 20th century and became dominant after World War II until the 1980s, when it was gradually replaced as the principal style for institutional and corporate buildings by postmodern architecture.
