Tajdid, meaning renewal in Arabic, is a resilient primary school project situated in a rural village of Morocco’s Toubkal region. In a mountainous territory shaped by seismic risk, climatic constraints, and limited access to infrastructure, the project responds by reducing dependency on complex systems and prioritizing what can be built, understood, and maintained locally. Lowtech, regionally rooted material systems and vernacular spatial principles are not referenced symbolically but structured as the core drivers of resilience, affordability, and environmental performance. Rather than adding resilience through technology, Tajdid embeds it within construction logic, spatial organization, and everyday use, proposing a durable educational infrastructure grounded in place, knowledge, and long-term adaptability.
