Maison de la Photographie / atrium

Looking down on the courtyard of the 'House of Photography' which was established in 2009 in this former fondouk building in the Medina. As I understand it, a fondouk was a kind of warehouse and hostel, whereas a riad was a family home with a garden and fountain in the courtyard. In both cases, an open central atrium provides cooling and natural light. 46, Rue Ahal Fassi, Medina, Marrakech, Morocco.
