Salima Naji

Salima Naji is an architect and anthropologist, who has been multiplying participative workcamps for more than 20 years, around the preservation of Saharan collective architectures (ksours, collective granaries). Favoring the technologies of raw and bio-sourced materials in a process of innovation respectful of the environment, she also builds a contemporary architecture with a social character. Her practice is coupled with scientific activity in numerous international research-action programs that question sustainability and the deep relationship between societies and the environment. Naji was shortlisted for the Aga Khan Award for Architecture cycles in 2013 and 2022.
