Résumé (en anglais)

The lean structures of South Morocco present some unique characteristics with regard to the antiquity and simplicity of the building techniques used by the local "masters", their adaptation to the harsh climatic conditions of the Atlas mountains and PreSaharian valleys, their blending into the environment, the harmony of their volumes, proportions and decorative elements and the efficiency with which they meet the community and individual needs of the users: defense, grouping by social or ethnic affinity, religious practice, economic functions linked to the oasis way of life.
