"In the field of architecture with which we are concerned, there are two obstacles constantly threatening us: one is modernisation imported from abroad and introduced indiscriminately, and, the other is a form of application of tradition consisting of arbitrarily inserting forms, materials, and elements taken from traditional monuments to give a “style” or general tone assumed to be Islamic. One has the illusion of reviving Islamic culture whereas one is displaying a serious ignorance of the spirit of this culture. Mawlana Shah Karim, Marrakech, Morocco, November 1986 |

| Stirrings of the Soul |
The mason of love has built a house
That neither earthquake can destroy
Nor time can wear away—
Its foundation is the heart,
Its pillars are devotion. Hafez
