ABSTRACT

The paper presents the first conclusions of a larger scale study which is being developed by the International Cooperating Group (eAM’ Coopera) of the School of Architecture of Málaga in the pre-Saharan valleys in the southern slope of the Moroccan High Atlas. The paper is integrated within a global project that tackles several questions related to the preservation of traditional architecture, the habitat and landscape, with the aim of foster protection dynamics and models of responsible tourism which give a boost to local development.
