Summary:
Haraji's travels as a professional photographer across Iran meant that he invariably had to ring a doorbell, sound a knocker, or pass through a hotel entrance to take up his accommodation for an evening. This fact drew his attention to the endless variety of doors that seemed to act as a boundary between the familiar and unfamiliar. The fruits of his investigation are presented in this photographic essay which depicts approximately 100 doors, or elements thereof – each characteristic of the proprietor's poverty or opulence, some plain and simple, others decorated with exquisite motifs and designs.

Summary:
After decades spent sensitizing his own field of work to themes concerning people’s respect for nature, Mario Cucinella has collected his memories of ten journeys to cities and other places. Each one of them provided him with food for thought that was neither exotic nor ''stylistic,'' but rather pragmatically environmental, and helped him to reflect on the rational exploitation of available energy resources – a common practice in the vernacular traditions of every culture, from Iran to China, and from Maghreb to Ireland. These ten stories about architecture project us forward.
