The abattoir of Ruisseau in Algiers, a heritage complex dating from the colonial period, has ended a historic phase, moving its activity to another part of the city.
The site’s characteristics, along with its configuration of large open-plan spaces and its heritage values, have prompted the creation of a platform to convert the abattoir into a space for artists. The proposal also responds to a series of demands related to the profession of artist and its regulation in academic and legal terms.
RehabiMed supports the initiative and has joined the platform in recognition of the values of the architectural complex and its rehabilitation for use by artists, which would revalue this heritage complex and introduce a contemporary cultural amenity to revitalize the district.
