The Madrasa of Sultan Hassan dates from

the fourteenth century, being one of the

most important religious buildings in the

city of Cairo. The complex includes both the

functions of religious school and mosque.

All components are distributed around a

central courtyard which holds prayer. It is

here,here, and around, which produces our per-

formance. Subject to the program, areas

that we should define students were a tea

room, a library and conference room.

    Justified as a homogeneous performance,

comprehensive and categorical, the project

is defined as a series of parallel walls which

comprise the entire floor of the courtyard

and, depending on your situation, will car-

ried out a function or another. In the south

iwan, due to the absence of direct light, you

willwill find the tea room; on the north, the Li-

brary; and facing the mosque, the confer-

ence room, allowing viewing and listening

to the speaker from anywhere in the yard.

Matisse, French painter known for his use

of color based on light reflection, lived for a

while in the Moroccan city of Tangier. That

is why, when it was decided to project a

museum of the painter, was chosen a site in

this city, near the Kashba.

As the second part of the project, decided

to expand the building into the Kashba, to a

nearby square, following the concept used

in the first half.

The project is defined as a set of simple

volumes that direct the light in a certain

way, both indoors and outdoors, creating a

series of specific environments depending

on how color is reflected in the adjacent

surfaces. The following pages are focused

on the part of the expansion, rather than

the whole project.the whole project.

Based on our personal experience,

we were asked to search for a land-

scape familiar to us. Galicia, an

area located northwest of the Ibe-

rian Peninsula, is a Spanish region

full of small farms, where each

house grows its own vegetables, for

their own use. Using this fact, the

garden offers a series of gardens

that give the restaurant of the same

part of the materials needed to

create their dishes.

Looking typical crops of the

region, the number of orchards was

reduced to 5, focusing on oranges,

olives, tomatoes, corn and onions.

Each one is placed in a separate box,

which are joined by means of verti-

cal cores of communication. Walking

aroundaround the complex, is a path that

allows the vision of all crops at the

same time that becomes a communica-

tion between Randolph and State

streets.
