The House of the Image project is a unique and exciting exercise that nonetheless poses a series of important challenges: first, we can mention the integration into a singular site bearing a great history, a site whose toponymy stems from the extraordinary story of a man, Bouazza, and a building, the kasbah, a building that is both a bearer of history and witness to history, a place of memory; then, it should be considered that this desire for "historical" architecture must be part of a cultural perspective, the world of image; finally, this building must ensure, through its character, the mission conferred upon it, namely promoting the image of the region and consequently, its economic, social and cultural development.

Le projet intègre, dans son essence, des valeurs antinomiques. Ainsi il doit d’une part répondre à un objectif d’intégration qui exige une certaine modestie par rapport au site, un respect des éléments constitutifs du paysage; d’autre part il doit assurer un objectif de présence, de rayonnement pour répondre à la mission touristique et culturelle de la maison de l’image.
