Khalil Morad El Ghilali
Khalil Morad El Ghilali is a Moroccan architect and teacher at the National School of Architecture (ENA) in Marrakech. He is also a PhD student in architecture at the Euromed University of Fes and a guest lecturer at “Escape Lab” at the University of Thessaly in Greece. After extensive experience in several architectural firms, he started his own studio in 2019, Atelier BE (ateliers Bâtis Écoresponsables), in Rabat. This interdisciplinary design and research firm uses a diverse range of approaches and perspectives to explore themes such as climate change, ecology, human perception, the impact of emerging technologies, and their potential to transform our current way of life through imminent fictions. By using climate change scenarios as a vehicle, various ecological speculations are put forward, challenging current economically viable models. Atelier BE’s young team of artisans, architects, urban planners, and landscape architects has a wealth of experience, which allows them to quickly and effectively address a variety of climate-related issues across the Kingdom of Morocco.
