Earth Work Operations: Sheepscaping for Happy Sheep
University/SchoolAmerican University of Sharjah
Lead ArchitectIbrahim Khamis, Shaden Kalouti
The project explores a cultural history in the Moroccan carpets industry. Taking the wool production potential into consideration, the project aims to establish an industry that is based on the conversion of fleece to fabric, where wool from the sheep will be extracted, manufactured and then dyed to produce Moroccan carpets. Managed grazing compared to continuous grazing requires a certain kind of land manipulation and as a result, strategies such as excavation, insertion and incision were explored in order to shape the ground to create the production and farming spaces.
