6.37 – 6.38 Nina Vidic Connecting between. 6.37 Aerial view of the proposal. 6.38 Local map of ‘in-between’ voids. Tangier is as a border city known for its cultural, religious and social diversity. Due to a weak state and no urban planning, there is a lack of public facilities and poor infrastructure. Spaces in between different neighbourhoods are left unused and not maintained. The project utilises two repetitive modules to organise the suburbs of Tangier. Besides creating visible borders to contain the sprawl of single family houses the main module also determines commercial streets and open squares between different neighbourhoods and shifts the focus of the community life from the hardly accessible and narrow streets to the previously unused vacant space at the edges of the neighbourhoods. 140
