Description
Summary:"Analysing the life and work of architect Hans Heyerdahl Hallen (1930-2022), this book reveals the transnational influences that shaped his practice in South Africa, and the migratory circles of ideas that defined a new form of subtropical architecture. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, the study features a wealth of previously-unpublished archival material to explore the role of the architect in colonial contexts, and the need for architecture to respond to local communities and climate"-- Provided by publisher.
