Volubilis Visitor Center
By Sarah Tricha
The Volubilis Visitor Center was designed to leave a minimal imprint on visitors to the Roman ruins and UNESCO World Heritage site. The new buildings fold themselves into the hills and the ruins take center stage.
The project was completed by Kilo Architecture. I appreciate the intention of clean, considerate, and lovely architecture. If I were in Morocco, I would go to Volubilis to see the new as well as the old.
See the Achitecture Review article for more details on the project.

Volubilis, that’s where my great great grandfather is from! I found your site looking for Moroccan design ideas/inspiration for a project. And really like it. There is so much beautiful and artsy things to show about Morocco, from souks, old medinas doors etc. Just thought to share and say thanks for this blog and archiving some interesting things, i ll def. rss it!
