Low-cost housing built in the 1960s

Low cost housing built in the 1960s is a housing scheme in Casablanca, dating from the 1960s. The scheme is organized around repeated dwelling units, shared circulation and open space, making housing density part of the architectural expression. The architectural language emphasizes durable mineral surfaces, concrete or masonry construction, deep shadows and practical detailing rather than applied decoration. Its architectural value lies in the way a modern vocabulary is adapted to local programmatic and climatic needs.
