The Elements and Principles of Design are the fundamental language of architecture, shaping how we perceive and interact with every built environment.

Yesterday, the AASTU Arch Club had the pleasure of hosting a crucial lecture for our 2nd-year AASTU Architecture students, diving deep into these essential building blocks.

A session packed with foundational knowledge, visual insights, and creative inspiration! We hope this deep dive equipped our students with the essential tools to analyze, create, and truly understand the world of design.

On our recent visit to Zigzag Space, Architect Alebel Desta gifted us two books intended to spark academic dialogue, support interdisciplinary research, and inspire future generations of students, designers, and scholars at AASTU. When we asked for copies for our club, he set a thoughtful challenge: we would receive the club’s copies after donating a copy to the AASTU Library and documenting the donation with photos. We truly appreciated how engaged and generous Architect Alebel was throughout the process.

The photos above show us presenting the book to AASTU Library Head, Dr. Zeleke Abebaw, and the moment we received our club copies afterwards. The experience was rewarding and educational — it helped us connect with and learn from the great Architect Alebel Desta. Presenting a book to our university through the club was a genuine honor and a memorable moment for all of us.

The AASTU Arch Club recently concluded a successful design consultation session for 3rd-year architecture students focusing on their residence projects. This initiative underscores our commitment to developing practical design skills and collaborative learning within the department. The AASTU Arch Club remains dedicated to providing ongoing mentorship and support for future student projects. We look forward to seeing their final designs come to fruition.
