Igherm della Valle del Draa. Disegni di città di terra

Ruin is the work that inhabits a landscape and its establishes relationship that are modified in relationto its degradation and to the intangible dynamics of the place itself.In the Draa Valley in southern Morocco earthen cities are works in ruins that built a landscape in decline.Igherm are villages built with the earthen.This kind of architecture can not resist at the time. It is sensitive to the man and its work.Its dissolves under the rain and for lack of constant maintenance.They are enclosures marked by high perimeter wall with corner towers that are repeated in the landscape as unique settlement type.They are placed at regular distances and create a network easily recognizable in the region.Inside the abandoned villages, slumps tell quality of architecture.Fragments resistant to time show up as sculptures still able to communicate their essence.In the ruins emerge characters of architecture. Its form, technique, structures.The link with origins, the place, the man.Drawing returns the architecture, composition of the space, space character.
