THE CITY OF POSSIBILITIES
THE CITY OF POSSIBILITIES
In 2006, the United Arab Emirates decided to undertake the fanciful project of
grow an entire city in the middle of the desert. Masdar City, categorized as a “city
"green", has the primary goal of achieving 0% CO2 emissions. This project
pharaonic designed by the London architecture firm Foster + Partners
comes at a time when ecological concerns related to consumption
energy and pollution are increasing. Today, only a few
buildings have emerged from the sand: a scientific university, laboratories
research as well as headquarters of large multinationals such as that of
Siemens. “The City of Possibilities” presents a series of photographs
made by Étienne Malapert during his trip to Masdar City, this city
green in the land of black gold.
