EiABC (Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City development)

The chair of Appropriate Building Technology (#ABT) recently led a site visit for EiABC Architecture students to the HQ of the Horn of Africa Regional Environmental Center located inside Gulele Botanic Garden.
This LEED®Gold Green certified building is the first of its kind in Ethiopia and showcases impressive sustainable design features. The building is a net-zero structure constructed using locally sourced materials, such as Adobe and Glued Laminated Timber. The roof structures are made of round timber frames, and the building also boasts green roofs, which are eco-friendly and climate-conscious.
