The electric car at the service of the Smart City
Power banks connected to the city grid and computation control units providing public data centers with informations related to traffic, environment and critical issues. At the Domus Talk organized with Renault, the role of EVs as accelerators of urban cognitivity emerged.
Constructed from more than 650 sqm of camel and goat wool woven by female cooperatives in the Saharan desert, the tent serves as an urban landmark and a symbol for the “Contemporary Morocco” exhibit. The rhythm and scale of the tent’s silhouette renders a topographic dimension to the structure which pays homage to the nomadic traditions of southern Morocco.
Within the tent, the installation features the work of master artisans from all throughout Morocco. The tent also houses a café, a boutique showcasing Moroccan handicrafts, and a performance space which will host various events throughout the duration of the exhibit.
