The Vincent Timsit Workshop, also known as VÉTÉ, is a complex designed by Jean-François Zevaco in Casablanca, Morocco in 1952.[1] [2] The complex contains workshops for the Vincent Timsit company, which was originally involved in mirror-making and locksmithing industries, as well as office space and an apartment. It is one of Jean-François Zevaco's most celebrated works, and it is considered an emblematic feature of the architecture of Casablanca.[3] [4]
In his design for the Vincent Timsit Workshop, Zevaco drew inspiration from Oscar Niemeyer with his use of flying parabolic arches.
