HUTS : THE VANISHING RURAL TRADITIONS AND VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE FOUND IN 1980s SOUTHERN AFRICA
This magnificent portfolio of 577 full colour photographs, taken over seven years and poignantly capturing a time and cultures that no longer exist, remained boxed away for decades as Mark continued to travel and work around the world. Finally, while locked down during the global covid-19 pandemic, he took out the photographs and put them together with 26 sketch illustrations, construction methods, tribal histories and his own memories of adventures into this 303 page volume. His work provides a rare insight into the lives (at that time) of indigenous peoples from 14 tribal groups of six different southern African countries and complex historical forces that impacted their vernacular architectural traditions.
