Finally, Cherry Beaumont’s masterplan for a new street on the edge of the Oued Boukhrareb channel combines an inventive environmental strategy with culturally aware compositions of public and private program. The typologies explored in detail by the project include those of madrassa, hammam and bakery as well as the private house and workspace. These typologies have been brought together into a dense architectural composition where each has been developed with an awareness of shifting politics to allow for a flexible response to the development of social attitudes, suggesting a valuable approach to development of culturally precious urban fabric.
