This document discusses traditional bamboo housing construction techniques in Ethiopia, with a case study on the Sidama house. It notes that Ethiopia has a growing urban population and need for sustainable construction materials. It describes two species of indigenous bamboo used traditionally for housing, tools, storage, and other purposes. The Sidama house is highlighted as a traditional roundhouse constructed using split bamboo plaited techniques, with details on its domed roof and other bamboo elements. The document proposes adopting these traditional bamboo construction methods more widely to address housing needs in a sustainable, socially acceptable way, though initial costs may be higher.
