A societal challenge
The research center of the African Sustainable Agriculture Research Institute is a national priority project, led by OCP, which aims to promote the economic and social development of the region.
The technopole will be made up of various complementary components all dedicated to research: work spaces, laboratories and classrooms. The research centre aims to position itself as a driver of change, proposing a respectful, intelligent and human conception of the site and its surroundings. Our architecture is based on the potential of the site. It harnesses the climate, the winds, the sand and local expertise to achieve the best environmental performance possible.
Simple and sober, our project aims to ‘blend with nature’ by respecting the living world and optimising the interaction between the building and its environment.
