Not too long ago I wrote, ‘Becoming a landscape architect is like walking an unknown path in a strange forest. You know someone has walked it before, so you have some confidence. Then the path disappears. You have to make your own path and you don’t really know where you are going. You must decide—forge ahead or go back.’
In one way or another, it is something we all face…
…a real life mystery that can be solved only with the passage of time and the taking of hard decisions.
Just like the characters in Casablanca, we all have to take hard decisions in our lifetime.
What was the landscape of that great movie, Casablanca? Filmed in the US but forever establishing the cultural character of French-occupied Moroccan medinas.
What was the urban landscape in which Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre plied their trades?
The 1940s?
Sixty years later, not the Casablanca of French Morocco; but Tangier the international heart of Morocco. In Tangier Gardens (to see the book, click this link➡️https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv), CJ is immersed in an enthralling saga. He is lost in a place non-different from the haunts of Claude Rains and Humphrey Bogart. To keep his appointment with destiny, he has to take some hard decisions.
That's just one of his many landscape challenges in north west Africa. CJ finds a culture whose roots run deep into West Africa, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. He wants to become a landscape architect, and he has to make his own path. And the medinas? CJ, trapped in the Tangier medina, finds it full of adventure and despair. The excitement and danger confuse what CJ had thought was a certain destiny.
Who would have thought that the only existential clarity that CJ found would come from British and Russian horticulturists and their plants and gardens of Tangier?
Casablanca? No, Tangier Gardens.
If you’re looking for adventure, hard decisions, CJ, Morocco, Tangier--visit my Tangier Gardens book page on Amazon (to see the book, click this link➡️https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv).
