The document summarizes the architectural development of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from the 18th century to the 1960s. It describes how the city evolved from a scattered settlement under Emperor Menelik II in the late 1800s to becoming Ethiopia's capital. Key developments included the introduction of modern techniques by Emperor Tewodros, the establishment of a distinct "Addis Ababa style" featuring decorative balconies and roofs, and influence from Italian architects during the fascist occupation in the 1930s-40s who proposed master plans and introduced plainer designs. By the 1960s, a construction boom saw foreign architects from various countries actively designing multi-story buildings in the city.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. • 1775-1875, is a comparatively empty period as far as
Architectural development is concerned in Ethiopia
• Introduction of modern technique by immature method, ex.
un successful ambition of emperor Tewodros to have a
giant mortar /Sebastopol/
• An Italian builder, G. Naretti, worked as Architect and
builder in Mekelle. During this time the town was the
capital of Emperor Yohannes IV who reigned (1872-1889)

Mihret church in Mekelle
The 19th century
5. ANKOBER

capital, following the old tradition of earlier monarchs.

St. Mary and Raguel, and Menelik’s palace.

10. The birth of Addis Ababa
• The hot springs of Filwoha were a major attraction to
Menelik and his wife Taitu
• Because of the hot spring and the deforestation of
Entoto for the use of fire wood the new place became
more appropriate for a permanent settlement.
• In 1880 Addis Ababa became the new capital of the
Empire.
• The structure of Addis Ababa at the beginning of the 20th
century was that of a multicentred settlement, with the
GEBBI, the ARADA and the Church compounds as the
main landmarks later the Train station.
• The great famine(1889-92) and the victory of Adowa also

TRADE
• Despite the fact that there were political, geographical
and military reasons for the selection of Addis Ababa as

gold, cattle, sheep hides, honey butter, cotton and
incense, used to come from different parts of the country
to Addis Ababa.

14. Mixture of nationalities
• Because of the strong trade relation between Addis
Ababa and other countries the city started to become a
home of different foreigners and local ethnic groups.
• The Swiss born Alfred Ilg was one of the most influential
one.
• Other nationalities including from Arab, India, German
Greek and Italy were participating in lots of construction
works as well.
16. The heavy style
• The early public buildings of direct European influence were
often heavy and stiff intended to be grand and solid – looking

The Addis Ababa Style
32. The Addis Ababa Style
Origin of the Addis Ababa style
• Arabic influence was the strongest in the beginning
through craftsmen who often came from Aden.
• Emperor Menelik employed an Indian master builder,
Hajji Kawas who build the Raguel church, Gabriel church
and palace inside the old Gibbi.
• Decorated long balconies also appear in India especially
old Bombay.
33. Plain forms of the 1930’s
Before world war II radical ideas were applied by Italian
architects in Ethiopia some of the characters were,
• Plain and smooth and almost undecorated surfaces
• Straight lines dominating, circular and semicircular lines
allowed but free curves avoided
• Visible building volumes of ‘abstract geometrical’ kind
achieved with smooth plaster and paint rather than with
textured natural materials
• Certain horizontals or verticals or frames emphasized by
projecting strongly but with a plain form
• Exterior colors ranging from light yellow and beige
through warm shades to dark red and brown.
37. The Italian Fascists influence
Planning
• Several versions of a master plan for Addis Ababa were
prepared during the Italians occupation.
• Some of the ideas which continued until now are
• Moving the big market out of the centre and westwards
• Moving the main centre of the city downwards to level
ground
• Having an industrial zone in the southwest
• To have recreational areas in the southeast on the
Filwoha plain.

40. Architecture of the 1960’s
• Approximately the years 1955-68 were a boom period for
the construction industry in A.A.
• New technology was applied, with pile foundations,
vibrated concrete, factory finished surface materials,
using cranes and the likes.
• Most of the buildings were designed by different
foreigners
• All the buildings show the styles of the individual
architects rather than the styles of their countries.
41. Architecture of the 1960’s
• The common design factors were, functional
requirements, adaptation to the gradually more
industrialized building methods, and use of materials
which are competitive for price and availability in the
Ethiopian market.
• Also multistory buildings automatically enforce more
discipline in the design than small and low structures.
