The present research is based on several years of study and on visits to Morocco and Chefchaouen. It began in 2005, as a participation in an international cooperation project funded by the Tuscan region, which had as partners in Italy the SPEF Scuola Profession-ale Edile of Florence and the TaeD Department of Architecture and Design Technolo-gies "Pierluigi Spadolini" of Florence and as partners in Morocco the Rif Al Andalous association based in Chefchaouen and the ENA École Nationale d'Architecture in Ra-bat. The idea of the project originated from the proposal to develop and implement a project for the construction of a vocational training center aimed at the qualification, improvement and innovation of traditional construction techniques, in support of the reconstruction and redevelopment processes undertaken after the seismic event of Feb-ruary 24, 2004, in the Al Hoceima area north of Chefchaouen. The research presented here began as part of the degree thesis discussed by the author in collaboration with the architect Vittoria Volpi, stands as a preliminary and preparatory phase for the creation of the documentation and professional training center on traditional construction cultures, which could constitute an element for promoting socio-economic development and the preservation of architectural heritage. This volume collects, updates and extends the results of the investigation launched fifteen years ago and aims to systematise the intangible knowledge necessary to formulate sustain-able strategies for the rehabilitation and conservation of Chefchaouen's heritage aimed to improve the quality of life within the medina. The concept of intangible knowledge relat-ed to the architectural heritage includes not only the techniques, materials, and building components, but the local building knowledge, transmitted from generation to generation, concerning the constructive process, the maintenance of the artifacts, a sustainable manage-ment of resources, and the choice of architectural and technical solutions, more appropriate and sustainable, which reflect the response of the community to the need for spaces, follow-ing a large process of adaptation to the environment and the socio-cultural and economic re-quirements. The work is the result of a thorough investigation of the medina, several observations of buildings in a different state of conservation, as well as a number of surveys of courtyard houses and building elements, in order to understand how these structures were formed and transformed on both a technical and cultural level.
