"SUDU -- the Sustainable Urban Dwelling Unit -- is a full-scale prototype for an affordable two-story house built with local materials and traditional building techniques in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.

The first volume additionally explores the history of Ethiopian architecture, the postcolonial nature of its current construction industry, and the challenges of the country's rapid urbanization.
