Abstract:

This catalogue features archival photographs related to the work of four Dutch immigrant architects: Mello Damstra, Ed Payens, John van de Werke and Jaap van Niftrik. Their various design works in the C20th South African context illustrate hybridity and international exchanges in architecture and serve as evidence of a unique shared architectural heritage. The publication forms part of the Tectonic ZA Wilhelmiens research project of the Department of Architecture, University of Pretoria, supported financially by the Netherlands Embassy in Pretoria through its Shared Cultural Heritage Programme. It is intended as a companion piece to the the book Common Ground: Dutch-South African Architectural Exchanges 1902-61 published in 2021 by LM Publishers, the Netherlands.
