The need for refuge must be satisfied through an architectural form and the order in the landscape that occurs there, through all the instinctive tools that promote survival. This was the case with the shantytowns that were grouped in the industrial zone of the city of Casablanca, during the post-war period. A transition period from 1945 to 1956, between the end of colonialism and the beginning of decolonization, where informal agglomerations called 'bidonvilles' proliferated. In their attempt to structure the city in the face of these spontaneous masses, new studies made their way, anticipating ideas and projects on behaviors and ways of inhabiting the place itself. An entire experimental laboratory that collected past and future forms of life, with the aim of defining a housing model capable of establishing the most opportune balance for relocation to this anticipated city, which only time in its knowledge will reveal.
