Launch of the Moroccan Interior Design Awards (MIDA) – 1st Edition
Introducing the MIDA: a new stage for interior architecture and design in Morocco Casablanca, 25 March 2025. Archimedia Group announces the launch of the first Moroccan Interior Design Awards (MIDA), a biennial competition dedicated to interior architecture and design.
Long in the shadows, these professions are now enjoying remarkable growth, driven by a new generation of daring designers and a growing awareness of the importance of the living environment.
Interior architecture and design are shaping our spaces, transcending usage and revealing the identity of the places we live and visit.
MIDA is part of this dynamic, offering a new showcase for the different professions that are redefining the codes of interior design and decoration in Morocco.
A NEW STAGE FOR THE ‘MAKERS OF SPACES
In line with the Young Moroccan Architecture Awards (YMAA), the MIDA celebrates the men and women who, through their sensitivity and mastery, transform the environment in which we live on a daily basis.
This first edition will bring together architects, interior architects, designers, project developers and institutional and private players, thus affirming the fundamental role of design in enhancing living and working spaces.
AWARDS TO HIGHLIGHT THE BEST PROJECTS
With a range of 16 categories and three awards - Jury's Favourite, Audience's Favourite and the Archimedia Prize - the MIDAs will paint a striking portrait of contemporary interior architecture and design in Morocco. The aim of this initiative is to shine a spotlight on the professionals whose work is shaping the spaces of tomorrow, by offering them recognition matching their commitment.
Presided over by Lotfi Sirahal, architect and designer, the MIDA jury will bring together passionate experts to reward the talents redefining the way we design and inhabit spaces.
MIDA aims to become a benchmark event, a place where aesthetics, materials and expertise intertwine, where trends emerge, and where interior architecture is established not as a mere decorative art, but as an essential vector of well-being and emotion. This event is for all those who bring life to the places we live in, animate and share, by infusing them with harmony, character and meaning.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY MUSEUM ANNOUNCES PLANS TO EXTEND TRANSFORMATION
As the museum’s first phase of repair and improvement nears completion including the re-opening of the Power Hall in summer 2025, the Science and Industry Museum announces plans for new permanent galleries and improvements to its globally significant site.
• A new Wonderlab gallery is being planned to inspire children to imagine, experiment and play like an inventor.
• Feasibility work will begin this year on a new free Technicians interactive gallery for 11-16-year-olds to inspire tomorrow’s technicians.
• Following extensive external repairs, feasibility work will also begin this year on a new gallery and static rail experience for the historic 1830 station (the world’s first inter-urban passenger railway and world’s oldest surviving passenger railway station) set to re-open ahead of the Liverpool-Manchester railway bicentenary in 2030.
• Feasibility work will also commence in the near future on landscaping and improving access in and around the museum’s Lower Yard to enable a landmark science playground and open the museum site to connect to Manchester and Salford via Water Street and through to Aviva Studios, Liverpool Road and Castlefield.
By the end of 2025, 50% of the Science and Industry Museum’s globally significant industrial heritage site will have been significantly repaired and renewed over the last five years thanks to over £40 million investment secured from national government, charitable trusts and foundations and philanthropists. A new, award-winning Special Exhibitions Gallery is originating and hosting some of the UK’s best science experiences and the Grade I listed Station Agent’s House has been restored and opened as a new holiday property for Manchester with the Landmark Trust. The Grade II listed Power Hall and public realm in the upper half of the site are set to open later this year following significant repair and improvements. Meanwhile, the historic roofs of the listed New Warehouse and 1830 Station together with the museum’s Gantry have been repaired and future proofed for the next century and beyond, along with significant work to decarbonise the site.
The museum is now planning its next projects to continue to create compelling galleries that tell the story of the world’s first industrial city, open-up and celebrate its historic site with fundraising currently underway.
A new Wonderlab gallery is in the planning to be one of the most spectacular, interactive science galleries of its kind. Inspiring children to think, experiment and play like inventors, it will pay homage to Manchester’s rich history of science and invention and the museum site which explores ideas that change the world. Planned to open late 2027, the museum is now seeking an architect and lead designer. An open competition to design Wonderlab opened on 21 February, with architectural and exhibition design practices invited to submit first stage tender returns by 24 March on the Science Museum Group’s Tenders website. The successful designer will be able to draw on the architectural features and history of the museum’s site, reflect the creativity and innovation synonymous with Manchester and enhance the feeling of wonder and awe for the museum’s target audiences of ages 4-10 (plus access for early years) to enjoy.
Science and Industry Museum Director Sally MacDonald OBE says
“Ahead of the Power Hall re-opening this summer and the completion of a mammoth amount of repair work to our wonderful historic buildings, we can now look forward to future compelling galleries that will help us tell the stories of the world’s first industrial city and ideas that change the world.
It’s our mission to open the potential of the whole of this globally significant industrial heritage site - to bring all of it back into use and to celebrate it through a journey that allows visitors to explore and understand how the buildings and structures that the museum cares for connect to the collections and stories they contain.
We want to create more access through the site and make the most of the museum’s outdoor spaces for everyone who lives in and visits Manchester and provide more opportunities to inspire the next generation of innovators, thinkers, creators, technicians and scientists whose ideas will continue to change the world.”
