Casablanca Bombing Rooms / architecture competition from HMMD Competitions on Vimeo.
Morocco’s unique location as a connecting point between Europe, the Middle East and Africa means that cultures from around the world constantly co-exist there. Throughout its long history Casablanca has seen its fair share of strife and conflict, with violent acts claiming many lives, regardless of their religion, creed or culture.
Extremist acts are, in a way, a form of ignorance, believing blindly that violent actions will help your cause when in fact they only harm it. In order to battle this ignorance HMMD Architecture Competitions is proposing an ideas competition to transform the site of a previous act of violence into one that educates and works to eliminate ignorance.
HMMD Architecture Competitions are therefore tasking participants with creating ideas for the Casablanca Bombing Rooms whose main function will be as a public library on the site of the 2003 Casablanca bombings.
