Happy 2022!

In this issue, our featured project is about a recently completed piece of contemporary Architecture that successfully fused elements of such style with place, simplicity, elegance and lightness. The bold colors of the façade complemented by the calm grey counterpart gave it a striking appearance in the densely populated neighborhood.

Our Ketema Archives contributor, Helawi Sewnet on his latest column argues how Emperor Menelik II could be considered the technology evangelist of Ethiopia’s modernization history for his endeavor to bring several products of civilization including the automobile to the country and his patience to create cultural acceptance over these foreign technologies.

The 34th session of Architect’s ወርሃዊ hosted Dawit Benti (Architect) to talk about Architecture on the social media. For the past two years, Dawit has been running Ethiopian Architecture and Urbanism, a social media platform for discussions on the historical and contemporary built environment inside Ethiopia.

And with that, I leave you here to enjoy our carefully curated content and look forward to your contributions on our upcoming issues.

Stay Safe, Leulseged Tibebu

#700MW of Power Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) will begin Generating 700 MW Electricity this year.

The commencement of longawaited mega-dam producing 700 MW electricity after one month is expected to boost the country’s installed power generating capacity by 14%.

#ET Real Estate & Home Expo

Nearing completion on the Abay river, the $4 billion GERD is self-financed by Ethiopians with crowd funding through raising in the form of selling bond and employees contributions a portion of their incomes, will generate 5150 MW hydropower at full capacity to relieve country’s severe energy shortage.

251 Communications, with a decade of experience organizing major events for global corporations, has completed all preparations for the upcoming 4th ET Real Estate & Home Expo at the Hilton Hotel Addis Ababa.

Currently, Ethiopia has a total installed power generating capacity of about 4,967 MW. And, only about 45% of the country population has access to electricity and the figure drops to 32% in rural areas of the country.

In addition to the growing demand and niche that is fueling the real estate sector, Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopians around the world are expected to respond to the national call under the Great Ethiopian Homecoming initiative, which sees 1 million Ethiopian diaspora returning in early January 2022 home before the Ethiopian Christmas celebrations.

Once completed GERD will be the largest dam in Africa with a total volume of 10.4 million cubic meters for renewable energy.

The 4th ET Real Estate and Home Exhibition, which will officially open its doors to the public on January 1, 2021 at the Hilton Hotel Addis Ababa in the presence of officials, invited guests and media representatives, is expected to contribute to the progress that is being registered in the real estate development sector.

The event is expected to be a one-stop destination for meeting home, furnishing and installation needs, bringing together the country’s largest real estate and home accessories companies under one roof and providing potential home hunters with a wide range of product services and properties presents.

Engineering News Record (ENR) admired Addis Ababa River Side Green Development Project in its Environmental friendly construction management at ENR’s Global 2021 Award of Excellence for national construction.

This river improvement and public greenspace project in the capital had to forgo typical stone blasting in favor of specialized large-scale earth blasting and excavation to remove 210,000 cu m of stone to develop key areas of the park due to its sensitive location near the Prime Minister’s office, ENR said.

Collaboration between Chinese and Ethiopian teams enhanced other endeavors, including a joint effort by engineers to safely transplant—using nutrient solutions, rooting and protective agents—trees and plants from a mountainous area 500 km away that were needed to create the park’s natural landscapes. The project team dug an artificial lake that is now the largest in the country. An aeolian sand antiseepage blanket secures the lake bottom.

#stolen artifacts

After a century and a half hidden in private collections, 13 stolen Ethiopian artefacts have finally returned home following months of negotiations.

The items, which include an intricately latticed processional cross, a richly coloured triptych depicting Jesus’s crucifixion, and an ornate red and brass imperial shield, are part of the largest act of restitution in Ethiopia’s history, officials said.

These artefacts were taken in 1868 after the battle of Maqdala between the British and Ethiopian empires. Some of the objects had been offered in an auction in Britain in June by a private seller descended from a British soldier who fought in Maqdala.

Several of the objects were acquired by The Scheherazade Foundation, a cultural nonprofit organisation, and handed to the Ethiopian embassy in September.

They were returned to Addis Ababa this past November 2021 and will go on display in Ethiopian museums.

There are many artefacts that were looted from Maqdala, this is the first time in the country’s history to bring back looted artefacts in this quantity.

Red Door Apartments RAAS Architects

The dense and socially active neighborhoods of Addis Ababa are melting pots for multitudes of buildings which are reflecting the culture, art and social trends of the society. One can see different types of architecture in the neighborhoods or “sefers” constructed in different types, styles and building materials reflecting also the position of the residents’ social status in society. This makes the city’s “sefers” very distinctly diverse from place to place but also brings a heterogeneous and eclectic mix to the city’s urban fabric.

IMAGE: BEMNET TEKLEMARIAM

The Red Door is one such addition to the fabric of the city, a project located in Kirkos Kifle Ketema where previously single story but high density residential building typologies are found. The new building code and development strategy with the goal to have density and mixed use residences in the inner city required that the project had to be a minimum of 6 floors with a certain floor area ratio allowed.

This meant that as the first mid-rise building in this area it also had in a way a responsibility for paving the way for new such investors in this location; hopefully a quality building that would then serve as inspiration to the future developments.

Situated on a 750m2 plot of land, the RED DOOR building was to be constructed on a plot of land a few hundred meters inwards from the recently unveiled road stretching from Washington roundabout to Bulgaria junction. featured

The Red Door Apartment and Gallery was primarily a heartfelt project launched by the Client Ato Salahadin Khalifa on land that was his family home, a special place that his family thrived and his kids grew up on. Even though Ato Salahadin is heard describing it jokingly as an

effect of “empty nest syndrome” it allowed him to create a project where he injected his energy and time to collect resources and work closely with the selected design and building team.

With this goal of placing a “special” project on the family land, the client set out to look for the right partners to realize his goals and dreams. The journey and collaboration thus began; the client respecting his memories of place; the design team crafting this space of memory where families will continue to thrive and the contractors to build a bespoke project that spoke of quality in construction. A professional team was selected: RAAS Architects as lead design in collaboration with their engineering consultants and eventually Mafer as the construction partner.

The architects took into consideration the location of the building and with the wishes and desires of the Client, set out to help define the terms of reference. It took the client featured

and the architects team considerable time to study and develop the design brief, making sure that the Client had time to understand what his needs and desires were. Meetings after meetings were held before any concept was developed as the team understood early on the necessity of this “coming to a mutual understanding” phase of the design process until ideas were well refined. The concept design was then developed by the architects in close consultation with the Client.

The idea of the interlocking stack of blocks was developed to best connect the indoor spaces with the outdoors taking advantage of the site being located at a road corner junction. Even though the narrow streets seemed a constraint at first, in the end this became the basis of the design thought for the architects. The juxtaposition of the exteriors allowed plenty of light and ventilation to come through the continuous balconies from these street fronts to most of the 28

building interiors. In addition to the functional idea, the use of interlocking boxes of intruding-extruding forms define the individuality of the spaces within creating excitement to all areas, while also enjoying a playful façade in the exterior.

The Red Door Building is a B+G+7 story development comprising 13 units of apartments with different One, Two and Three Bedroom Typologies, including a generous Penthouse. It has allowed for a spacious lobby space on the ground floor with a small spa facility for the residents in the back and some space for parking. The basement floor is presently used for the Red Door Gallery including some storage spaces. The rooftop terrace serves as a communal area where the residents of the building gather for a peaceful contemplation space and get-togethers. Enveloped in green areas and vertical gardens, this floor is suspended over the neighborhood and gives a beautiful vista over the city and the mountains beyond. featured

As the architects’ driving philosophy portrays…

We design excellence because We Care!

The interior spaces are carefully designed in a way that no apartments face each other for the purpose of privacy while getting maximum amount of daylight resulting in an interesting floor layout. The extensions of the living rooms to the narrow verandas on each side allow the spaces for greenery to connect with nature and the beautiful vistas, while canopies are used for protection of the interiors from harsh sunlight. Together with the open plan concept of the interior living spaces, the apartments give a light feeling with contemporary simplicity. The interior is rendered with white, pastels and cement colored pigments, which gives it a unique touch of simplicity and softness combined. Light furnishing and decorative materials together with carefully selected artwork and greenery complete the beauty of the internal spaces. The placement and proportion of the windows renders a beautiful 30

effect on both the exterior and the interior of the building. Residents can experience the views from their homes in different scales; windows with smaller fenestrations and openings allow for a “framed vista” while larger and distinctive openings allow for an open and vast outlook towards the surrounding.

Since the apartments are combinations of “with balcony” and “without balcony” options, the rooftop is dedicated as a communal space for the residents. The generous layout of the terrace features panoramic 180-degree views of skylines and the cityscape around them. Covering approximately the whole roof area, this terrace delivers not only views but also a great space to accommodate a vibrant social lifestyle. The terrace features a wall of vertical garden populated by succulents, featured

cactus and flowering species which significantly softens the strong wall of the elevator shaft adding a distinct character to a space that encourages social interactions.

The finishing materials were carefully chosen by the professional team together with the Client and sourced from within the country while most finishing products were imported from abroad. Quality of material was important to set the standard in all respects of architecture, MEP, interior design and furnishing. The architectural design is experienced by mixing the use of local materials including exposed concrete finishes for internal wall areas, floor finishes as well as window sills and decorative wall renders. The use of concrete mixed with other elements gives spaces a most pleasing fresh perspective and materiality while showing the potential and power of raw concrete as a finishing material.

All window frames are made from imported aluminum profiles while flooring is mostly made from imported tiles of porcelain and laminated wood. Waterproofing solutions from local sources were used for roof and balcony exposed areas while a water repellent solution was applied to the external rendered facade to prevent penetration of water to the interiors.

As a building recently completed in the city, the Red Door has successfully combined elements of contemporary architecture with place; simplicity, beauty and lightness. With its bold colors mixed with nature and greens, it has integrated contemporary living with Ethiopian palettes to be a striking landmark in its neighborhood. A Clients’ dream with a design and construction team dedicated to creating excellence can be taken as a testimony of how architecture can have the power to lead change. The whole process took around 5 years to complete, but hard work, dedication and the resilience to stay focused on creativity and excellence can be considered as the primary success of the project.

አንድ ሰካራም በአንድ ምሽት አቡነ ጴጥሮስ ሃውልት ላይ ‘አንት ድንጋይ’ እያለ ሲሸና ከእውቁ ገጣሚ ፀጋዬ ገብረ መድህን ጋር ይገጣጠማል። ድርጊቱም ‘ጴጥሮስ ያችን ሰዓት’ የተሰኘ ግጥሙን ሎሬቱ እንዲተይብ መንስኤ ሆነው። ሰካራሙ ሽንቱን ሳይሸናበት ሀውልቱን እየተሳደበ ቢሆን ኖሮ ገጣሚው ቁጭቱ ይህን ያህል ይቀሰቀስ ነበር? ወይስ በዝምታ ሽንቱን ቢሸና ገጣሚው ያልፈው ነበር? ሀውልቱ ላይ ሽንት መሽናት ያን ያህል ብስጭት ከቀሰቀሰ በቀን በቀን በምንመላለስበት መንገዶቻችን ላይ መሽናት እንዴት ሳያበሳጨን ቀረ? ጊዜ ተቀይሮ፣ የኑሮ አዚሟ ከብዶ ማስተዋል አቅቶን ነውን? ቸል አልን፣ በቸልታችንም ተመርኩዞ ሰካራሙም ሽንቱ የወጠረውም ጎረምሳ

ብዙሃኑ መንገድ ላይ ሽንታቸውን የሚሸኑ ወንዶች ሽንታቸውን መቆጣጠር ሲከብዳቸው ይሆን መንገድ ላይ ለመሽናት የሚገደዱት? ወይንስ መንገድ ላይ መሽናትን እንደ አንድ ሁነኛ አማራጭ መቁጠራቸው ነው ያን ያህል ሽንታቸው ሳያስቸግራቸው ለድርጊቱ የሚገፋፉት? ‘መሽናት ያስቀጣል’ ብሎ ከመፃፍ ይልቅ የተለያዩ ድርጊቱን የሚኮንኑ ምስሎችንአጥር ላይ ማድረግ ‘መንገድ ላይ መሽናትን‘ ይከላከል ይሆን? መሽናትን ከሚከለክሉ ጥቅሶች ይልቅ ሃሳብ የሚጭሩ ምስሎች ለከተማችን መልስይዘው ይመጡ ይሆን? የምስል ጥበብ ጉልበቱ በዚህ የከተማ ላይ ተሞክሮ የሚፈተሽ ይሆናል።

በጥበብ በአደባባይ የጎዳና ጥበብ ዝግጅት ላይ በመሳተፍ አዲስ የጎዳና ላይ ጥበብ ቡድን በአራት የተመረጡ የከተማችን ጎዳናዎች ላይ መሽናትን የሚከለክሉ ጥቅሶችን በማደስ በምስል በመደገፍ ሰዎች ከእነዚህ ምስሎች ጋር ካላቸው ስሜታዊ ትስስር የተነሳ ከድርጊታቸው ይቆጠቡ ይሆን በማለት የጎዳና ጥበብን በአዲስ መልኩ ይፈትሻል። መልሱ ግን እርሶ አንባቢው ምስሎቹ ባሉበት ጎዳናዎች ላይ የሚመለከቱት እውነታ ይሆናል። በአንድ ምሽት አጋጣሚ ሆኖ ስልክ ለማናገር ከክፍሌ መስኮት ወጣ ብዬ እያለሁ ሁለት ጎረምሶች የሰፈር መንገድ ላይ መኪናቸውን አቁመው ወርደው ይንጎራደዳሉ። አቅራቢያው ወዳለው መጠጥ ቤት ያመራሉ ብዬ ስጠብቅ አንደኛው አላየኝም ነበርና አጥራችን ላይ ወዳሉ አትክልቶች ማጎብደድ ጀመረ። ወዲያውኑ ነገሩ ስላልገባኝ በዝምታ ስመለከት ቆይቼ ሊሸና እንደሆነ ስረዳ ግን ስልኬን ማቋረጥ ግድ ሆነብኝ። “ኸረ ወንድም መኖሪያ ቤት ነው፤ ተመለስ!” ስለው መለስ ብሎ ብዙም ሳይርቅ ተሰርቶ ወዳላለቀ የጎረቤት ቤት አጥር አመራ። እራቅም አይል እያልኩ

ሳስብ ጓደኛው ከጅምሩ ትንሽ ራቅ ብሎ እየሸና “እዚም አይቻልም እንዳትይ ብቻ፤ እ..እ” ይላል። “እሱ ይሄን ያህል ደፍሮ ከቤቴ ፊት ለፊት ሲሸና እኔ እንዴት የመከልከል ጉልበት ያንሰኛል?” ብዬ እያሰብኩ በአግራሞት ብቻ ወደ ቤቴ ውስጥ ተመለስኩ። አንድ ቀን በቅርቡ ማለትም ህዳር 2013 ውስጥ መሆኑ ነው ግዮን መናፈሻ ከስራ ሰዓቴ በኋላ ትንሽ አረፍ ለማለት ገብቼ እንዲያው ስዘዋወር የአንድ ጥበቃ ድርጊት ቀልቤን ሳበው። መኪኖች ከሚያቆሙበት አስፋልት ወደ ጀርባ ሄዶ ሽንቱን ሲሸና ተመለከትኩት። ከአንድ መልካም ጉደኛዬ ጋር ነበርኩና ሁኔታው ሳቄን አመጣው። ለምን ሳኩ? እንዴት ‘ሳር አይርገጡ’ እየተባለ በተለጠፈበት የመናፈሻ ቦታ ጥበቃው ደቂቃዎችን ተራምዶ ሽንቱን መፀዳጃ ቤት መሽናት ያቅተዋል? እንዴት?

አዲስ የጎዳና ላይ ጥበብ ቡድን በ2013 ለሚካሄደው የጥበብ በአደባባይ የጥበብ ዝግጅት በአዲስ አበባ ላይ የሚታየውን የ’መንገድ ላይ መሽናት’ ልምድ ፈጠራ በተሞላ መልኩ በመቃኘት ድርጊቱን እንድንጠይቅ ያደርገናል። የጎዳና ጥበብ መንገደኞችን የሚስብ እና የሚማርክ አንድ አንዴም እራሳቸውን እንዲጠይቁ የሚያደርግ የጥበብ ዘርፍ ሲሆን መንገደኞችን ያለምንም ቅድመ ክፍያ እንዲሁም የጊዜ ገደብ የጥበቡ ትታዳሚ እንዲሆኑ ያደርጋል። ታዲያ ከተማችን በተለያዩ የጎዳና ላይ ምስሎች እያሸበረቀች ባለችበት ጊዜ፣ በየአጥሩ የተፃፉ ‘መንገድ ላይ መሽናትን’ የሚከለክሉ ጥቅሶችን እንደ አንድ የጎዳና ላይ ገፅታዎች ቆጥረን፤ የከተማዋ የኑሮ ውጤት የፈጠራቸው እውነታዎች እንደሆኑ ተረድተን ብናጠናቸው ምን ይነግሩናል በማለት ከጎዳና ጥበብ መድቧቸው ቡድኑ እነዚህን ፅሁፎች ሲያጠና ሰነባብቷል። ይህንንም ተከትሎ ከ መነፅር ጋር በመተባበር ስለ_ከተማ፡ ጥያቄ በማለት የከተማዎን ጎዳናዎች እውነታ የሆነውን መንገድ ላይ የመፀዳዳትን ልማድ ይፈትሻል። ‘መልሱን ባጣው ጥቃቄውን እስክፈታው’ እንዲሉ፤ ስለ_ከተማ’ችን እንጠይቃለን።

Founded by professionals who were convinced that the profession and industry deserved better; Ketema aspires to create one of the most compelling architectural publications in Ethiopia and the continent.

The construction industry suffers from a clutter of information which merely focuses on stories and projects with little or no significant impact on the practice of the professionals & livelihood of citizens filled with political rhetoric disguised as a means to manipulate the public’s opinion.

From a professional point of view, we believe we are in desperate need for a genuine content which has the power to inspire about change, presented with quality and due reverence for the profession.

Our magazine reveals ever present yet undiscovered ideas and projects to the industry / professional with exclusive news, product and supplier information bi-monthly.
