Fez's medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its historical significance and complexity. In 2011, an international design competition aimed to revitalize this area, receiving over 800 proposals. The project, awarded to Mossessian Architecture with Yassir Khalil, was well-received by the local community. It seeks to reconnect Lalla Yeddouna Square to the riverfront through a pedestrian-friendly path incorporating artisan workshops, shops, eateries, educational facilities, a nursery, and a women's centre to boost community interaction and support local artisans.
The winning proposal for the revitalization of Fez's medina by Mossessian Architecture in association with Yassir Khalil focuses on creating a pedestrian-friendly route connecting Lalla Yeddouna Square to the riverfront.
The design integrates various community spaces, including artisan workshops, shops, eateries, educational programs, a nursery, and a women's centre, thereby enhancing local engagement and economy.
