| description | According to a United Nations report published in 2017, sand is the world’s second most extracted resource after water, over half of which being consumed by the construction industry. In this context, this article examines Morocco’s uncontrolled sand extraction on its coastlines, suggesting a critical point of view of resources that are considered as product through two on-the-ground surveys conducted in September 2019. To do this, sand is discussed through two input analyses: as a constitutive element of dune landscapes considered a public good and as a commercialized product oriented to make armed-concrete. With this aim in mind, this research first analyzes littoral alterations due to construction in Mohammédia, then shifts its point of view towards sand extraction and its consequences on the coastline. In a context in which architecture is increasingly viewed through an environmental lens, this article tries to understand to what extent the relationship between resources and society impacts territories that are considered a public good. |
