On Monday September 18, the Interim President of AAU made the first visit to  Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building construction  and City Development (EiABC), accompanied by a delegation of faculty members and administrators. During the visit, they toured the campus grounds and engaged in productive discussions with the faculty and staff of EiABC.

As part of the Integrated Urban Mobility (INUMO) project, the student research trip project the student research trip to Bishoftu brought together a group of enthusiastic students from Bauhaus University Weimar and the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC). With a common goal of exploring the research framework of Integrated Urban Mobility (INUMO), the students embarked on a transformative journey. Bishoftu, a vibrant city in Ethiopia, provided the perfect setting for this collaborative endeavor. Over the course of the trip, the students engaged in immersive fieldwork, observing and analyzing the urban mobility challenges faced by the local community. Through interviews, surveys, and data collection, they sought to understand the existing transportation infrastructure, identify key bottlenecks, and propose innovative solutions to enhance the overall mobility experience. This intercultural exchange not only broadened the students' perspectives but also fostered meaningful connections between different academic institutions and communities. Together, they envisioned a future where integrated urban mobility systems could enhance accessibility, sustainability, and quality of life for residents of Bishoftu and beyond.

Starting from tomorrow May 13,2023, EiABC will have a public exhibition of architectural design  computations of Birhan Bank. All 16 entries will be displayed in the newly renovated Swedish Pavilion at EiABC. The exhibition will be open to the public, and all of you are invited.
