Over a decade, he tirelessly documented these dynamic, colorful cities, photographing thousands of buildings, sites, and public spaces, and letting each building speak for itself. The fifty-three cities featured in this study are grouped according to the terrain in which they are set: the Maghreb (north Africa); Desert; Sahel (the semi-arid transitional region between the Sahara and the south); Forest; Savannah and Grassland; and Mountain and Highveld.

Green obsession: trees towards cities, humans towards forests

(available to order)
Summary:
Cities have contributed for centuries to the promotion of some of humanity’s greatest ideas, we must now urgently include them as among the principal players in the environmental debate and at the forefront of any policy tackling and countering – possibly reversing - climate change. Nevertheless, even today one of the most significant technologies capable of absorbing CO2 and restoring our environment is photosynthesis. Planting trees, in addition to protecting existing natural areas and biodiversity, together with de-carbonization, renewable energies, digitalization, smart mobility and the circular economy could be the set of strategies necessary to tackle climate change. Today the effects of the Anthropocene age are ever more visible, changing our environment and affecting every species that lives within it. ''Green obsession'' offers a path to be taken, a hard but still necessary paradigm shift – even for architecture and urbanism – that aims to give a voice to this much needed ecological transition. This book aims to unveil the processes and the complexity involved in the search for a new kind of urbanism, while raising questions and opening old wounds related to the relationship between the human species and Nature and finally putting these fragments together to create a portrait of our era. We need to conceive cities as new green catalysts. Now more than ever, it is essential to act together as separate individuals and professionals, joining the cause as members of the global community with a shared environmental strategy. We all have to open the era of a new alliance between Nature and City.

Visual artist Ying Ang reimagines the mushroom as both a biological form and feminist metaphor – an emergent, generative force that challenges dominant narratives of fertility and the female body. She examines how the fetishisation of fertility shapes cultural perceptions of women, nature, and reproduction, questioning whether growth and abundance must always serve a reproductive imperative. The fungal model is a form of fertility that is rhizomatic rather than hierarchical, collective rather than possessive, disruptive rather than obedient. Just as mycelium persists unseen beneath the forest floor, connecting and shaping ecosystems, women continue to shape society in profound ways.
