Planning cities is more complex than local media suggests. #Sustainable & resilient urban interventions provide solutions rather than problems. It's interesting how difficult it is to conceal failures in this regard.

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.

"...We had an emperor (HIM Emperor Hailesilassie) who had a certain sense of clairvoyance and appreciated beautiful things..."
- Honorable Maître Artist and World Laureate Afewerk Tekle
During his first #exhibition in 1954, Honorable Maître Artist and World Laureate Afewerk Tekle faced significant challenges in Ethiopia, where it was difficult for #artists to gain dignity and recognition for their work. His first battle was at this very exhibition.

Build on It? Cassation Bench Says You Still Don’t Own It
"To resolve the contradiction, the seven-judge panel interpreted the Civil Code in light of the Ethiopian Constitution, which states that all rural and urban land is owned by the state and the people, and cannot be sold or exchanged. While individuals may own permanent structures built on land, their rights to the land itself are restricted."

#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.

Carlo Ratti shapes a Grand #Fendika, a cultural heart in Addis Abeba, where walls breathe stories and the open air becomes a stage.
“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“
