Sustainable tourism through architectural hybridization

Abstract

In this paper, hybridization is proposed as an alternative approach to sustainable tourism development in Morocco’s southeastern cities. Hybridization refers to the integration of multiple elements, such as traditional and modern, to create a new synthesis that incorporates the aspects required from a modern building. The evolutionary approach adopted helps to balance between short-term requirements and long-term sustainability, while also preserving cultural heritage and promoting innovation. By implementing sustainable and culturally sensitive strategies, a positive future can be secured for architectural and urban systems like Ksours and Kasbahs.
