    The Agdal of Marrakesh (Twelfth to Twentieth Centuries): An agricultural space for caliphs and sultans. Part 1: History
    (Brill Academic Publishers, 2017-10-09) Navarro, Julio; Garrido, Fidel; Almela, Íñigo
    The Agdal is an enormous estate, located south of Marrakesh, that has survived from the twelfth century to the present. Historically it was used for agricultural production and related functions, and included pleasure gardens, pools, mills, and seasonal residences. This study presents the results of a multi-year survey of the Agdal’s water bodies, its place within the regional hydraulic system of khaṭṭāras, cultivation practiced there throughout the centuries, and the internal organization of its land and more than forty buildings. This archaeological approach is joined with a study of manuscript and published sources to give a comprehensive history of the Agdal, one of the most important historic landscapes in the Islamic world.

    Religious Architecture as a Tool for Urban Renewal. Two Religious Complexes from the Saadian Period in Marrakesh
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2019-04-01) Almela, Íñigo
    When Saadians consolidated their power in the al-Maghrib al-Aqṣà and established their capital in Marrakesh, the sultan ʿAbdallāh al-Gālib (1557–1574) spearheaded one of the most splendorous periods of the dynasty. He undertook a series of projects to renew the city and equip it with new facilities, after a century of decline and falling behind other centres. Among the works carried out by this sultan were the reorganization of the city and the construction of infrastructures and monumental buildings that became features in the urban landscape. This paper outlines all of the known works that were part of ʿAbdallāh's project with the aim of highlighting the historical relevance of his reign. It focuses on two religious complexes located in the city that replicate the same architectural model and the same layout in their urban contexts. In both cases, the designs of the complexes and their relationship with their surroundings is studied, allowing the assessment of the impact of their construction on the urban landscape and the development of the city.

    El conjunto religioso de Bāb Dukkāla: Levantamiento y análisis
    (CSIC, 2017-12-30) Almela, Íñigo
    En el presente trabajo se aborda el estudio de la mezquita de Bāb Dukkāla de Marrakech, una de las manifestaciones arquitectónicas que conoció esta ciudad bajo la dinastía saadí en el siglo XVI. Además de realizar un levantamiento preciso del edificio mediante fotogrametría, se documentan los anexos que la acompañan. Esta labor de documentación y análisis global nos ha permitido reconocer que se trata de un conjunto religioso planificado según un modelo bien integrado en su contexto urbano. Además de este aspecto, se analiza de forma general el espacio, la construcción y la ornamentación del conjunto, lo que nos permite caracterizar con mayor precisión la arquitectura realizada en este periodo histórico.

    The Agdal of Marrakesh (12th to 20th Centuries): An Agricultural Space for Caliphs and Sultans. Part II: Hydraulics, Architecture, and Agriculture
    (Brill, 2018-10-03) Navarro, Julio; Garrido, Fidel; Almela, Íñigo
    The Agdal is a royal estate located south of Marrakesh, founded by the Almohad caliph Abu Yaʿqub Yusuf (r. 1163–84). Its current walled perimeter contains 340 hectares, mostly orchards that have been cultivated uninterruptedly, and more than 40 preserved buildings, with numerous archaeological remains scattered throughout its interior. This article is a continuation of one published previously in Muqarnas 34 (2017), which focused on the history of the estate and provided an analysis of the written sources. In this second part, we present an archaeological and architectural study of the Agdal from the material record that we documented in two archaeological surveys carried out in 2012 and 2014. We discuss the complex hydraulic system that has sustained the estate, the internal organization of the enclosures and plots, its diverse agricultural production, the configuration of palatine architecture and spaces for animals, as well as the successive historical transformations of the Agdal.

    Láguena a roofing technique in Campo de Cartagena
    (Routledge, 2014-08-28) Almela, Íñigo; Martínez, Lucía
    Sustainability is a concept that has monopolised a large number of the scientific debates in a wide range of spheres connected not only with architecture, urban planning and construction, but also with the product market, tourism, culture, etc. However, sustainability is indissolubly linked to vernacular architecture and the lessons this architecture of the past can teach us for the future. The concept of sustainability as it is presented is wide-reaching and encompasses not only environmental issues but also sociocultural and socioeconomic questions. The lessons we can learn from studying vernacular architecture in these three broad spheres are manifold, and can help us not only to further the conservation and retrieval of this architecture already in existence but to rethink new architecture in the light of what we have learned
