Minister of culture, Mohammed abu Bakr al-Maflahi, gave credit to the British researcher of Iraqi origin, Salma Damlogi’s, efforts for documenting the Yemeni mud architecture in her research entitled, “Yemeni Mud Architecture Arts.”
The Minister expressed his readiness to translate and publish her book about the mud architecture in Yafie, Shabwa, and Hadramout on the Ministry’s expense at a meeting earlier this week.
He considered the book, written in English during her work with the General Authority for Historical Cities Preservation in the seventies, to be an important reference of the Yemeni mud architecture.
Researcher Damlogi, a professor of mud heritage and architecture in London University, expressed the London University’s readiness to cooperate with the Ministry of Culture in overhaul of the British Victorian buildings in Aden.
