Abstract

The project is a part of the Global Dwelling studio in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The focus of the studio is on Affordable Housing for the Global Urban South. This project looks to continue with the current method of affordable housing in Addis Ababa in the form of mass housing condominiums. These developments are appearing in huge numbers across the city. They are dense and efficient but are not affordable to those displaced for their development and do not meet the needs or express the qualities for and inherent to the existing low income communities. The existing communities, called sefers represent resilient communities and the condominiums represent a backbone of efficiency. Through the design of it's next implementation and additions to the existing condominium, the Condominium 3.0 creates a balance of efficiency and resilience resulting in an affordable, inclusive, efficient and resilient approach to housing Addis Ababa.
