Résumé

Transferred in 2016 to the Archives and Library of Architecture of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the archives of Jean Hensens (1929–2006) bring together a large collection of unpublished documents on the work and career of the Belgian architect and urban planner. This collection consists mainly of study reports, preparation documents and articles that J. Hensens wrote during his career in Morocco between 1962 and 1989. Based on these archives and those of the Centre d’ex- périmentation, de recherche et de formation (CERF), this article traces the beginning of his career, which led him and his wife Stacia Hensens (1931–) to work in Morocco for various research agencies and ministries.
