Maroc Telecom HQ

Maroc Telecom HQ is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Maroc Telecom HQ rather than just read about it. In short: The Maroc Telecom HQ is a high-rise office building in the Hay Ryad district of Rabat, Morocco. Built between 2008 and 2012, the tower stands at an official height of 139 m (456 ft) tall by antenna spire with 20 floors and is the current third tallest building in Morocco as well as the tallest in Rabat.

Key takeaways

  • Maroc Telecom HQ belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Maroc Telecom HQ to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Maroc Telecom HQ from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Maroc Telecom HQ is a high-rise office building in the Hay Ryad district of Rabat, Morocco. Built between 2008 and 2012, the tower stands at an official height of 139 m (456 ft) tall by antenna spire with 20 floors and is the current third tallest building in Morocco as well as the tallest in Rabat.

History

Architecture The building is located in the Hay Ryad business district and is the headquarters of the telecommunications company Maroc Telecom. It is 91 metres tall (139 metres including the antenna) and has 20 floors. It also houses an exhibition hall, a museum, a restaurant and an auditorium with a capacity of 600 people. The facility opened in 2013 and its inauguration included a ceremony that included fireworks, artists and performances, costing about 5 million Moroccan dirhams. The tower has curtain wall glass-panel facades and the access to the office areas is facilitated by 13 elevators. The upper levels of the building house auditoriums and presentation spaces. The tower has received recognition for providing high-standard environmental friendly systems with particular attention towards energy management. The tower needed to embody the elegance and promise of tradition while also appearing contemporary. Hence, the design was shaped by the delicate interplay that characterizes the finest edifices in the nation: interior and exterior, simplicity and opulence, warmth and chilliness, and so forth. These do not convey opposing relationships but instead create enchanting connections among themselves. The tower emerges from a vast, clean parallelepiped-shaped block that encompasses the entire surface area. By sliding two halves of the volume diagonally, two prisms are created, uncovering the "original" interior of the shape. Only the foundation of the tower stays whole as if embedded in the earth. This generates an architectural approach that blends light and shadow, fragility and strength. The structure features a 27-metre overhang at its peak, leaving a strong impact on the viewer.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Maroc Telecom HQ

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Maroc Telecom HQ claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Maroc Telecom HQ before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Maroc Telecom HQ ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Maroc Telecom HQ

In research
Maroc Telecom HQ appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Maroc Telecom HQ in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Maroc Telecom HQ is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 establishments in Morocco, 21st-century architecture in Morocco, Architecture in Morocco, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Maroc Telecom HQ outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
