Elie Azagury (Arabic: إيلي الزاقوري; 1918-2009[1]) was an influential Moroccan architect and director of the Groupe des Architectes Modernes Marocains (GAMMA) after Moroccan independence in 1956.[2] He is considered the first Moroccan modernist architect, with works in cities such as Casablanca, Tangier, and Agadir.[2] Azagury was also a controversial and outspoken Communist, and was active designing cités, or social housing projects made up of modular units, in places like Hay Hassani in Casablanca.[3][4] These projects combined elements of modern and vernacular architecture, taking local culture and lifestyles into account.[5][6]
