Summary:

"The first architectural & urban scientific book to be published in Ethiopia, Building Ethiopia attempts to record and document the prominent ideologies, approaches, and discoveries of its time within the disciplines of the built environment. It is intended to create a link between the academic practicioners [sic] and decision makers of the building sector, as only the integration of these three actors will bring about the changes and innovations needed to push the construction industry forward. This publication hopes to become a medium through which further partnerships and collaborations within the respective disciplines are forged as well as a provocative platform for constructive discussions about the now and the very near tomorrow of the architecture of Ethiopia, which is loaded with both tremendous potentials and formidable challenges."--Book flap.
