Christophe Hutin’s career began – politically and poetically speaking – in Johannesburg in 1994, just after Nelson Mandela was elected : he spent a year in Soweto, where he worked with the ANC (African National Congress). When he returned to France he decided to become an architect.
In 2003, shortly after graduating, he set up Christophe Hutin architecture with Nicolas Hubrecht and Vincent Puyoô. In 2004 he received a research grant from the AFAA (Association Française d’Action Artistique) that enabled him to return to Soweto to investigate housing initiatives ten years after the advent of democracy and the implementation of policies by Mandela and the ANC.
