This project is an intervention of two buildings and a gate along the route from the walled-off red light district of Bousbir (1924-1955) to its external medical dispensary, re-introducing temporality and sense of individuality through Light, Walls, and Openings to the working women within.
Bousbir Quartier Réservé was a highly regulated, completely walled-off red light district built to satisfy the sexual needs of European men, and was a solution to the STI problem caused by colonial prostitution during the French Protectorate in Casablanca
