In this physical archive of his long-term project, Bullinger portrays a diverse array of African pastoralists' homes, including tents, open dwellings and huts. Despite their variety, the structures are all made from materials available directly on site; they are radically efficient and sustainable.\u003cbr\u003eImplementing a silver-gelatin technique, Bullinger shoots with a large-format camera and honors the capricious natural light of day. Although he captures few inhabitants in his images, Bullinger records their many traces. Indeed, his photographs are born from a dialogue with the inhabitants and reveal architecture as a direct response, refined over centuries, to a people's specific environment and culture. Bullinger's conscientious formal and interpersonal decisions culminate in this valuable record of rapidly disappearing African architectural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783969992463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232","brand":"Winfried Bullinger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45331907444917,"sku":"9783969992463","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_20ce9f10-d0c2-44db-8211-b4a6f4946923.jpg?v=1745938559","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/winfried-bullinger-pastoralist-homes-9783969992463","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
