Coburg University constructs a pavilion from regional ‘waste timber’; GRAS and Huguet experiment with terrazzo made from recycled fragments. Zaha Hadid Architects and University of Calgary explore modular systems designed for disassembly and reuse, advancing circular construction logic."

To build is to remember: The architectural practice of Fasil Giorghis
“Architecture should not dominate—it should listen.”- Fasil Giorghis
Beauty, like truth or virtue, may belong to the domain of philosophy—but it migrates, insistently and unbidden, into art, poetry, music, and architecture. Plato, no stranger to this migration, spoke of the beauty of laws, constitutions, and institutions—order made humane, structure made just. Such is the pulse of my own doctoral work: seeking the convergence of beauty and justice in constitutional design.

In 2025 #COBAStudio, a studio formed by the duo grad architects Biniyam Bewketu and Daniel waju, took part in the House of the Future Competition held in the #UAE.
The competition is organized by #Buildner in collaboration with the Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation and the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme.
COBA's design proposal explored climate-responsive and culturally rooted housing by reimagining traditional #Emirati architecture through modern strategies.
This is their 6th international competition and it's great to see Ethiopian architects involve in such international endeavors.

World Architecture Day 2025: Design for Strength
📅 6 October
Created by the UIA in 1985, World Architecture Day is celebrated annually on the first Monday of October, in parallel with the UN World Habitat Day. In 2025, in the context of urban crisis response, the UIA has selected the theme “Design for Strength.”
This theme invites architects to move beyond short-term solutions and embrace approaches that strengthen the built environment’s ability to withstand, adapt, and recover. Architecture must offer more than shelter — it should contribute to equity, continuity, and resilience.
Key messages:
– Strength in design: Architecture must embody durability, resilience, and cultural sensitivity.
– A platform for resilience: The built environment plays a vital role in protecting & rebuilding communities.
– Sustainable rebuilding: Responsible materials & methods should guide repair and adaptation.

Help us save what can’t be rebuilt. While skyscrapers rise, the alleyways, conversations, and everyday coffee moments that shaped Addis Abeba are quietly fading.
Addis Memories is working to preserve the soul of the city; one story, one photo at a time. This isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about protecting our heritage.
Be part of Ethiopia’s first online virtual exhibition by visiting here or scanning the QR code on the poster, and sharing a photo or a memory that holds meaning.
Together, let’s build a home for the past before it disappears for good.

#AfricaHall has won its first international award at the 2025 Chicago Athenaeum in the #restoration/#renovation category.
Originally designed by Arturo Mezzèdimi, The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa officially opened in 1961, but over 50 years later the building required significant intervention that would ultimately lead to a decade-long investment to restore the building.
The modernist masterpiece was tasked with the aspirational goal of bringing unity to Africa – on behalf of our heritage team, it was a privilege to restore this cultural landmark.

“We took inspiration from the way Fendika has been naturally engaging with the city around it. Our design reflects this openness, creating a building that blends the boundaries between outside and inside; it encourages interaction and invites the energy of Addis Abeba in. - Carlo Ratti, founding partner of CRA-Carlo Ratti Associatti“
