About the Book
With the rise of cities, and urban agglomeration this experimental book aims to document, and explore an array of research accounting for living, and extinct autochthonous cultures, and their anthropological view on human/nature connectivity through art, architectural creation, experimental discourse, and medicinal practices. The aim is to question the role of the architect, architecture, or experimental forms of medicinal architecture in a changing geo-sphere, in the light that humans can be animals, animals can be humans, and microbes can be humans.

About the Creator
Yussef Agbo-Ola’s multidisciplinary artistic practice creates interpretations of natural energy systems through interactive experiments. These experiments focus on depicting the multi-layered connections between, an array of sensory environments. The biological, anthropological, perceptual, and microscopic environment in which an organism inhabits are all research catalyst for creative expression. The process of understanding different cultures, on the human and microbial scale often requires a working methodology that is adaptive to different cultural belief systems, during field work. His aim is to used a diverse field of research methods, to reinterpret local knowledge, and its environmental importance cross culturally. This reflection is then expressed through architectural pavilions, photographic journalism, garments, interactive performance, digestion, experimental sound design, writing, or a quiet observing.
