The School of Architecture, Planning & Design (SAP+D) is a hub of innovation in architecture, urban and territorial planning, and design, driven by education, applied research, and the development of smart solutions tailored to Moroccan and African challenges. The School aims to contribute to resilient, sustainable, and intelligent architectural, urban, and territorial development at both the national and continental levels by engaging with diverse geographic, socio-cultural, technical, and environmental contexts.
The 6-year Architecture program is designed to train visionary architects capable of designing sustainable, inclusive, and innovative spaces for the future. Combining a solid foundation in design, theory, and technical skills with a focus on creativity and critical thinking, the program guides students from the basics of architecture to advanced project development and professional practice.
