SAHARA Highlights: Mark Hinchman

This month’s Highlights feature the photography of Mark Hinchman, who teaches in the University of Nebraska College of Architecture and is a member of the SAH Board of Directors. Professor Hinchman’s teaching includes courses on interior design and global modernism. His thousands of contributions to SAHARA have focused on Asian architecture in the twentieth century, and these selections reflect that emphasis. Professor Hinchman’s photographs have enriched our collection in Malaysian and Cambodian architecture enormously but as these images illustrate, he has traveled widely in the Pacific Rim.
