ARCHITCTURAL CASE STUDY OF LOCAL

RESIDENTIAL HOSE

Fig l shape house

INTRODUCTION
Even though Ethiopia has its own several ancient civilisations, from the
1960s there is a great influence by the international style of architectural
design. Because of these, every building is reduced to plain vertical and

1
horizontal lines of concrete blocks, which being unimpressive and ugly, are a
menace to the society and a cause of environmental degradation. They are also
a cause of a complete break to traditional values and cultural patterns. Apart
from that, because of the international style influence, the country cannot relate
itself with tradition while, we have not yet been to able satisfy the basic housing
needs of our people even with the modern solutions. But I think, it is very
important to learn from mistakes done on built housing blocks that were
implemented without thorough study of function. And it is important to
encourage construction of buildings with local materials and of course with
consideration of functional requirements and proper management
