Dear all, our Master Student Nils Voerste is searching for participants in his study on lighting of public spaces:

Lighting Impacts on Public Space Experience

Upcoming Urban Seminar at EiABC June 18 - June 22, 2018.

If you are interested in going, please register with Bilisaf Teferi or Metadel Sileshi (see poster).

This Summer Semester InfAR is starting a new design studio together with the Advanced Urbanism & European Urban Studies chair. The topic is Rural Urban Metabolism - Metabolism-based Planning Strategies for Rural-Urban Transformation in Ethiopia.

To better understand how flows of material resources and
energy are linked to building activities in rural urbanisation processes and their impact on the existing environment, in our study project, we are referring to urban metabolism as a framework for urban design and planning of small cities.

Participants will be analysing urban patterns and flows of small
cities, learn about the context between urban metabolism and its
spatial implications and apply tools and methods for a spatial analysis and finally implement that knowledge in spatial models
and concepts to simulate possible development scenarios. The
findings should also make visible the opportunities and limitations of such concepts for disciplines concerned with urban development, taking into account environmental, social and economic factors.

The last three weeks we have been to Ethiopia again to meet with our research team of the Integrated Infrastructure project (www.uni-weimar.de/integrated-infrastructure). Besides giving a student workshop on parametric urban modelling, we visited Nesttown project Buranest and travelled to Bahir Dar to meet local stakeholders of a village that is in the transition to a town. We discussed and tested with them tools that assist the planning of their town. It was an exciting and fruitful experience. Have a look at our photos and expect some more information soon!

ECL-AA coordinators Metadel and Nicole meet with architect-researcher-filmmaker Bisrat Kifle for studio review on EiABC campus.

Attending the African Perspectives 2018 Pre-Conference in Addis Ababa at the UN compound and meeting lots of fantastic people to connect to in pursuit of our research goals in Ethiopia.

In a collaborative effort a group of students from EiABC Addis Abeba and Bauhaus University Weimar went to a small town in Ethiopia to build a shower. We are happy and proud of their success!
