Re-Mapping Addis for the 21st Century
In April 2019, with grant support from the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Addis Ababa, HW launched a major architectural survey to address the devaluation of historical buildings in Addis Ababa. While these buildings are in public domain, in truth, they suffer from lack of custodianship and legal protection. Their individual identity and relevance to both Addis Ababa’s and Ethiopia’s history is in danger of being erased for good.
Historical maps of Addis Ababa was made possible by a grant from the Embassy of the Czech Republic and Czech Development Agency. To see the results of this project, including a selection of maps for download, visit Heritage Stories |
