Theatre 2022
The Theatre at Merzouga is a testament to the possibility of harmony between the built and natural worlds. The design endeavors to be as quiet as possible, allowing the desert’s voice to resound. Here, architecture does not seek to conquer but to belong.
‘Let nature speak.’ - Tadao Ando
The material palette is a careful blend of what the desert offers and what the climate demands. Local earth, compacted to form thick, insulating walls, not only anchors the building in context but provides shelter from searing sun and biting nocturnal chill. Glass is employed framing long, horizontal views of the sand sea, never competing with it.
