THE SOURCE
The project develops a network of towers sheltering migrants crossing the Sahara Desert. Self-sufficient in energy, the towers are located at the crossroads between the main migratory routes and the renewable reserves of water present under the soil of the desert.
Not only does building provide shelter at the equivalent distance from each other along the crossing routes, but it also offers various programs to African communities, in the manner of traditional villages, but organized vertically.
