Galerie poche


‘Galerie Poche’ literally means ‘pocket gallery’ or ‘small gallery’ in French. In architecture, the term ‘poche’ refers to the thickness of walls, the spaces carved within them, those interstices that are neither completely empty nor fully inhabited. It is a concept that evokes both solidity and subtlety, the in-between where unsuspected richness resides.

Galerie Poche makes room for art inside the front facade of our office and is structured around four fundamental pillars:
1.  Space as a carrier of meaning
2. The dialogue between matter and emptiness
3. The layers of time and transformation
4. Movement and perspective


Inspired by these principles, Galerie Poche positions itself as an intermediary space, a threshold where art infiltrates architecture, where works emerge from the depths of the walls and invite us to rethink our perception of space.

Third Space



Anisa Nachett (born 1990) is a Moroccan-British visual artist trained as an architect. Her work grows from the space between worlds - between Britain and Morocco, between architecture and craft, between the familiar and the quietly foreign. Trained at TU Delft in The Netherlands and Architectural Association, she turned away from the drawing board and towards the visual arts, where, she has focused primarily on ceramics, using clay to carve, extrude, and transform traditional motifs into three-dimensional forms.

Rida Tabit
Along the wall



Rida Tabit (born 1996) is a Moroccan photographer based in Marrakech. His work explores the intricate relationship between people and place, often focusing on how cultural heritage, identity, and everyday life intersect in quiet yet powerful ways. 

Along The Wall is a visual exploration of boundaries, not only physical, but also psychological, social, and economic. Tabit captures the Medina wall as a living structure. Once built to keep enemies out, the wall today shelters and shadows communities who live, work, and create in its margins.

Atlas Fields
Scheltens Abbenes & Edith van Berkel

At the heart of this experience is a limited edition carpet, born from the poetic vision of Edith Van Berkel. Hand-woven by Amazigh women from the Atlas, each knot embodies a meditative gesture, each fiber tells a fragment of history. Inspired by the majestic reliefs, nomadic herds and the softness of Moroccan wool, this carpet goes beyond the simple object to become the silent guardian of a precious cultural heritage.

ABOUT 
JAM*

At JAM* architecten, art is not only a passion, it is an obvious extension of our architectural vision. Just as architecture shapes spaces, art gives them a soul. Driven by the desire to support creation and offer a space for expression to artists, we have chosen to dedicate part of our premises to artistic emergence. A place where the imagination takes shape, where structures and materials dialogue, where each work of art converses with its environment to tell a story.
