| الملخص: | Everyone even vaguely knowledgeable about the historiography of colonial architecture will be familiar with some of the scholarship on French Morocco. This issue presents an in-depth historiographic overview, with contributions that delve deep into the complex institutional settings which underpinned the production of the built environment in both colonial and postcolonial Morocco, bringing to the fore less well-known studies and stimulating new scholarship on post-1956 developments that will surely be of interest to an anglophone audience. It also makes a timely and much needed plea to extend the scope of research to an “au-delà du colonial” and thus towards the “temps long de l’indépendance”, raising issues of professionalization, training, dependencies and identity along with the concept of Moroccanization, that are also fundamental for studying the architectural history in other post-independence contexts. |
