The Wadi Lab

Created with Sketch.

The Oasis -LAB is a team of 3 young architecture students from Morocco. Nada, Rajae, and Soukaina decided to take up the NE[O]ASIS challenge to come up with innovative solutions regarding the future of the desert oasis.
Built around numerous skills also enriched by various cultural references, the team develops knowledge and identity that crystallizes through shared experiences.
Driven by the constant search for quality, we share the values that underpin our achievements and goals: creativity, rigor, and innovation.
Together, those three girls have built an ambitious common vision of the architectural and urban project, convinced that each project is a unique response that arises from the encounter between a use and a geographical and cultural context.
