Respite: A Breathing Space in a City of Acrimony - Addis Ababa Living Lab Affordable Housing
No full textThe main objective of the project “Addis Ababa Living Lab” is to improve the livelihood of Addis Ababa’s urban dwellers using transdisciplinary approaches of analysis, planning and design. The approach incorporated in-depth understanding of social, economic and technological needs of the inner city neighbourhoods. To achieve this goal, the research used tools and methods such as visual ethnography in site surveys, participatory design, life-cycle-assessment to quantify buildings’ sustainability performance, and societal cost benefit assessments. The design project also addressed managerial aspects of key stake- holders and an actionable framework to be used in building a pilot project on a test site as an experiment and feedback loop.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science
Harald Sigurdsson and the Russo-Byzantine War of 1043
Get PDFThe present article analyzes Kekaumenos’ commentary on the service of Harald Sigurdsson in the Byzantine army. Special attention is given to the composition of Consilia et Narrationes and the historiographic perception of this text. It then discusses Kekaumenos’ commentary in light of Harald’s adventures in the Haralds saga Siguðarsonar and the story about the attacks of Rus’ in the Byzantine literature. The author attempts to show that Constantine IX Monomachos tried to leave the large groups of mercenaries in Constantinople. Furthermore, the emperor’s attitude to Harald and his warriors was related to the events of Russo-Byzantine war in 1043. Constantine IX Monomachos dispersed these mercenaries into the themes. John Scylitzes wrote that the emperor put a guard over them to prevent them from inciting a rebellion. These arrests could explain Harald’s mysterious detention in the reign of Constantine IX Monomachos. It is possible to conclude that Harald’s detention was caused by the Russo-Byzantine war in 1043

No full textThis graphic novel is the result of a micro-ethnographic research to Kechene, a district of Addis Ababa. Using graphic techniques borrowed from the architecture discipline, this graphic novel aims at bringing together representations of everyday life in the Kechene sefer (neighbourhood), that show how human life shapes its environment and vice versa. This graphic novel not only represents the architectural qualities and spatial relationships, but also reveals the hidden narratives of ordinary stories. The graphic novel is complemented with a research booklet, which includes some of the key research findings that support the narrative used in the graphic novel. The research booklet is structured as a series of commented images reporting the research methods and the analysis that lead to the elaboration of the graphic novelThis Graphic Novel was produced as part of the MSc3 Global Housing Research Seminar of Architecture & Dwelling from the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The course was set up as a supportive educational component in the research project ‘Addis Ababa Living Lab’ (2019-2023), jointly funded by NWO-WOTRO and TU Delft.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Global Housin
