Abstract
The goal of the graduation studio is to research and design housing solutions that improve the livelihood of Addis Ababa's urban dwellers. Combining analysis, planning and design, the participants of this graduation studio were challenged to use multidisciplinary research methods and tools to elaborate design proposals for the development of a pilot housing project in Addis Ababa.<br/><br/>Ethiopia is following the urbanization trend which can be seen across Africa. This is reflected in the population growth in Addis Ababa which has doubled from 2.3million in 2000, to 4.5million in 2020. The primary reasons for this rural-to-urban migration are education and work. We find that unmonitored overcrowded households, long commuting distances and high urban expenses pose obstacles to the progress of all Ethiopian students. This project places due importance on arriving students, as I believe that acknowledging this group as critical to the future development of Addis Ababa and Ethiopia as a whole.'<br/> - Addis Ababa Living Lab: Creating Resilient Dwelling Clusters for Urban Resettlement - Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Global Housing |
