Iconic Architecture
Morrocan Pavilion Putrajaya
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Botanical Gardens is the majestic Moroccan Pavilion. Columns, arches, mosaic walls, fountain courtyards and heavily-craved wood panels are seamlessly put together adopting North African architecture to create the ambiance of a typical Moroccan pavilion. Textures, colours, play of light and shadow and also aroma was used, evoking a romantic and idle setting, perfect for reflection and contemplation. Master craftsmen worked from several villages in Morocco worked on the intricate artworks for the ceilings, pillars and walls. Artisans with legacies of craftsmanship in mosaic tile work, woodwork and gypsum plaster also lent their skills to the completion of this beautiful architecture. A well-manicured garden provides the perfect frame to enhance the elaborate motives and designs that adorn the walls, floors and ceilings of the pavilion.
