LECTURE | “Construction Aspects in Ethiopia’s Architectural Traditions: A Comparative View.” by Petra Gruber and Kingshuk Datta. Lecture by Petra Gruber and Kingshuk Datta at the International Conference on Traditional Building Architecture and Urbanism: Timeless Architecture, held on November 17 and 18, 2021. "Throughout Ethiopia the most common type of construction is the chikka technique, a hybrid wood and earth construction that is still used in vernacular practice. The analysis of traditional Ethiopian architectural typologies has relevance beyond the specific place and time, since few of these types inherit adaptability, aesthetic quality, sociocultural integration and sustainable use of materials.” Link to the video: https://lnkd.in/dTdA777m #traditionalarchitecture #traditionalbuilding #sustainability #heritagepreservation #localresources #vernaculararchitecture #architecturaltraditions #ethiopianarchitecture
