Agadir Intervention

This video also takes place in Agadir. The task was to do an "intervention" in the town. If you saw the last video, you would have gained some knowledge about the history of Agadir. Long story short, earthquake, city was relocated below the hills using more modern styles of construction. So our idea was to recreate the old city which still exists on the hill, onto the beaches of the new city, using sand to portray the more primitive dark materials of the old contrasting against the plush whiteness of the new. The tide messed us up twice, during one of which you may be able to hear me let of a curse. Some people may say this was just a way to make sand castles instead of working.... some people might be correct...

Architectural Analysis: Jean-Francois Zevaco's Hotel de Ville, Agadir, Morocco

Now for some architecture related posts. These videos were made in groups, almost consistent members for all the videos.

So this first video is study of the Agadir town hall in Morocco. The video starts with some history of Agadir which is relevant to the next video I'll post. We made a 3D model of the building to create a CGI video which explores it which can be seen at the end. The camera was hard to control hence the awkward turnings. We also got an interview with the Mayor of Agadir who was more than happy to see a group of young foreign students.
