As part of its conference series, and on the sidelines of the integration week, the Euromed School of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (EMADU) organized an inaugural conference on Tuesday, September 19, for the 2023–2024 academic year. During this meeting, EMADU architecture students gathered in the conference hall for a cultural meeting on the theme “Architecture and context”

In the presence of the Director and EMADU teacher-researchers, Mr. Melehi Youssef highlighted the importance of taking context into account to better respond to environmental constraints and cultural specificities of architectural or urban projects. It should be recalled that Mr. Melehi Youssef is an ingenious architect holder of several awards notably the YOUNG ARAB ARCHITECT Award presented by the Council of Ministers of Urban Planning and Housing of Arab countries, the AGA KHAN Architecture Award presented in the city of Assilah, the MOROCCAN ARCHITECTURE Award for the realization of Mohamed V Military Hospital and the HONORARY PRIZE in Tribute to the Quality of the Practice of the Profession of Architect awarded by the National Council of the Order of Architects of Morocco.

This inaugural conference was an opportunity for our guest to share with students and professors his approach based on the necessity of referring to the needs associated with the characteristics of the environment and inventing new concepts while drawing sustenance from one’s surroundings.
