Living In Morocco:An art of cultural renaissance
Morocco is an exhilarating combination of vivid sensuality and intense spirituality, an intoxicating blend of cultures. Berber, Arab, French, English, American, Belgium, Chinese, Australian, Italian, German, Spanish jewish, Muslims, Christians and Catholic: the country's rich mixture of heritages is matched by its geography, which ranges from coast to mountain to desert.
This revised edition of Living in Morocco celebrates the indigenous arts of a country at the height of a cultural renaissance.
Morocco is known for fine leather and for pottery that dates back a thousand years.
Berber rugs are justly famous, and there is a thriving tradition of woodworking, especially in the native thuya wood.
Most extraordinary, though, is Morocco's decorative painting and tilework, where, craftsmen have developed a vocabulary of pattern and ornament.
As Moroccan property Investors and business developers we visit Chaouen in the Rif Mountains with our friends who are interior designers and artists. Chefchaouen or Chawen where the town's undulating surfaces are painted a bone-chilling blue-tinted white.
We peer into an abandoned kasbah in the Sahara, and absorb the sights, sounds, and smells of the frenzied souk. We take time out in the shady blue-and-pink environs of the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech city, laid out by French painter Jacques Majorelle, and explore the story behind La Mamounia, the famous hotel that has welcomed such guests as Winston Churchill. Most important, we see Morocco's arts brought to life in its homes -- from former harems totraditional Hispano-Moorish houses.
We were everywhere in Morocco to learn from Moroccan property designers and decoraters to improve our knowledge and to creat a mariage between the modern and traditional Moorish design for our new property development in Tangier and Fez.
Everywhere we went in Morocco we found everything changing with new high end development of luxury resorts, 5 **** hotels, bespoke villas and eco-houses in the exotic places of Morocco.
My friends who are British from Birmingham told me it's Morocco time and everybody is immigrating here to enjoy the quality of life...We really love the Moroccan lifestyle and we don't want to return back to England...They decided to buy a land to start a resort project for artists and stars.
