Meydene M Avenue

2022
The Spirit of a City Brought to Life
An cultural journey in Marrakech celebrating its people, rhythm and stories.

Marrakech’s new popular district M Avenue Meydene turns a luxury destination into a living portrait of the city. Across four staged spaces, visitors encounter Marrakech through real people, everyday objects, and atmospheric scenes rather than touristic clichés.

Tamschick Media + Space developed a holistic scenography in light, sound, and moving image that binds the architecture into one multi-sensory cultural journey.

Four chapters: citizens, images, places, objects

In the first zone, six double-sided media steles introduce twelve citizens of the city at life size. Their stories form an intimate entry point into Marrakech through personal perspectives. A second zone uses a large lenticular image that shifts with movement, turning visitor motion into a playful, kinetic encounter with the city’s visual layers.

The third zone immerses audiences in the sound and imagery of Marrakech’s environments through projection mapping, interactive floor imagery, and environmental soundscapes. Souks, streets, and surrounding landscapes appear as moving impressions without static panoramas. The final zone presents a sculptural installation of everyday objects suspended from the ceiling, activated by light and short projected narratives that elevate small details into symbols of shared memory.

Marrakech in a chain of encounters

Visitors move through Meydene as through a sequence of encounters: with people, with images, and with the city’s textures and sounds. Voices, shifting perspectives, and layered media invite them to listen, look closer, and connect with local people and culture.

Each zone offers a distinct emotional tone, from intimate to playful to immersive, yet together they form a continuous experience of a city in motion. Meydene turns storytelling into architecture, blending hospitality and culture so that guests experience Marrakech as it is: vibrant, layered, and deeply human.

Giving a new district a real Marrakech heartbeat

M Avenue needed a cultural anchor that would ground a new hospitality and retail destination in the authentic spirit of Marrakech. The goal was to celebrate local identity into an art installation.

The experience had to translate a complex, living culture into a clear spatial journey, adaptable to high visitor throughput and long-term operation and focus on real people and everyday life.

Meydene: The Heart of Marrakech positions M Avenue as more than a commercial destination by embedding a dedicated cultural experience at its core. The project offers a model for how mixed-use developments can work with local identity in a nuanced, contemporary way.

By placing real citizens, everyday objects, and layered atmospheres at the center of the narrative, the experience deepens visitors’ understanding of Marrakech and strengthens the connection between urban development, hospitality, and cultural storytelling.

  • Multi-zone immersive environments designed as a permanent cultural anchor within a hospitality and retail development
  • Life-sized media portraits of twelve Marrakech citizens as the narrative spine of the experience
