Architectural Heritages of Addis Ababa

This research aims in creating awareness among the owners and residents of the houses so that to keep them as their own valuable properties; to let Architects, Artists and Craftsmen participate in developing our own style of architecture instead of following the western style which has its own defects in implementing out of the context; to see how much in time these heritages are transformed. Meaning, the level of deterioration of the houses as compared to their earlier time and off course to suggest possible recommendations for the proper conservation of the houses.
