| The superb dome of the
wholesales market in Agadir was built after the earthquaque of 1960
(25,000 death), but remains unused for years, and experienced a fire 12 tears ago which partially destroyed the polyester roof cladding. Hopefully, 45 years after its erection, the steel frame is still in good shape, but starts to rust in exposed areas. Some projects of renovation were submitted to the Municipality, after a design competition in 2001. This elegant structure is one of the symbol of the reconstruction of the city, and of dynamism of Souss valley... |
