#Lalibela (Amharic: ላሊበላ) is a town in Lasta Amhara Region, 🇪🇹 #Ethiopia famous for its rock-cut monolithic churches. The whole of Lalibela is a large antiquity of the medieval and post-medieval civilization of Ethiopia.

In a #1970 report of the historic dwellings of Lalibela, #Sandro #Angelini evaluated the #vernacular earthen #architecture on the #Lalibela World Heritage Site, including the characteristics of the traditional earth houses and analysis of their state of conservation.

The aquatic complex is implanted on an artificial island in Abu Dhabi, a polder measuring 100 meters by 100 meters, at the end of a 500 meters long breakwater. The purpose of the project «Solar Drop» is to maximize the magnificence of this exceptional site thrown on the Sea of Oman.

To free the skyline from the carrier points of the construction, the project mainly bases on an enormous structural dome which spreads in the space as a flower taking root at the center of the island. This flower consists, in fact, of 2 coupled spiral domes. Indeed, the convex superior dome is covered with 16 spirals of photovoltaic cells, whereas the concave lower .............
