Designed by Vilalta Studio based in Barcelona, the design took inspiration from Merkato, the largest open air market in Africa. Back in 2017, the building won a special prize for its facade design at Prix Versailles. The facade of the building was designed considering the local climate conditions coupled with the fractal pattern commonly found in the local fabrics. The 44th session of Architect’s ወርሃዊ was held at the Urban Center hosting the renowned paint manufacturing company, Jotun. We invite you to read the summary about paintings and coatings in buildings prepared by our staff writer Nahom Atakilt. We also brought to you a very informative article that tries to elaborate what BIM (Building Information Modeling) really is and its benefits and introduction to our country by our patron contributor Sofonias Solomon, do check it out. And with that, I leave you here to enjoy the content, and we look forward to your contributions to our upcoming issues. ANNIVERSARY

10 ...continues on next page In this 44th Architects ወርሃዊ edition, we dive deep into “paintings and coatings in buildings” hosted by the wellrenown Jotun group. Painting and coatings in architecture have come a long way, becoming an essential aspect of the design process. From the ancient murals of cave dwellers to the ultra-modern skyscrapers of today, painting and coatings have played a considerable role in enhancing the beauty and functionality of buildings. They not only add personality to space but also protect it from the elements which have made them a pivotal aspect of modern architectural design. As we continue to push the boundaries of architecture and design, it's important to ensure that our structures are protected and adorned with the right paint and coating solutions. Hence, the discussion shed light on color psychology, color perception, the latest innovations and trends, and their significance to the Ethiopian design market. The session kicked off with an introduction about Jotun from Mr. Mohammad Sharib, Sales & Marketing Manager–Decorative Paints (Ethiopia). Mr. Sharib discussed the roots of the company, which date back to the 1920s, and the global capacity of the company reaching over 100 countries in the world. With such a wide reach comes the issue of variability among these various man-made and natural conditions which can play out in the built environment. Hence, the company has invested in research centers for six regions, of which region MEIA includes the Middle East, India, and Africa. The purpose of these centers, as Mr. Sharib explains it, is to “understand the specific needs of different markets” and “be close to the market” to account for differences that may arise in various contexts. Jotun focuses on four segments namely, decorative paints, marine, protective and powder coatings. These were then further elaborated by Mr. Rakan Hussam Albayouk who is the Regional Design Manager at Jotun. Mr. Rakan mentioned the concept of a “single source solution” which is a one-stop shop related to architectural needs that range from steel protection and powder coatings to decorative paints. At the moment, only decorative paints are available in Ethiopia, which is believed to widen as the building sector grows stronger. The presentation also highlighted several single-source projects the company has been involved in, both internationally and locally, in Ethiopia. International mentions include the famous Burj Khalifa, Marina Bay Sands, and the Petronas Twin Towers, while local projects such as the upcoming Adey Ababa Stadium and Elilta Apartments are among the company’s portfolio. Mr. Rakan then introduced the first part of the Jotun focus Paint & Coating in Buildings With Rakan Albayouk Summary: Nahom Atakilt Session44

An example, as illustrated by Mr. Rakan, is “S 1050-Y90R” where the left, from the hyphen, refers to the color’s nuance while the right side describes its hue. But before jumping into the system, let’s see how we usually identify colors. Screens use the RGB value, printing uses the Pantone value, while our visual understanding will vary based on our experiences. Saying this surface is such a type of color can certainly draw an image in someone’s head, but as long as he/she is not seeing the same thing, it’s not likely they are thinking of the exact color. Hence, to classify colors more clearly, we have used many methods, such as the color circle, which comprises blue, green, yellow, and red colors, with 10 steps between each segment. In the example shown, Y90R translates to a yellow color with 90% red. After choosing this color, however, let us say we wanted to determine how light or dark it should be. This is where the color triangle comes up. It shows the blackness, whiteness, and chromaticness of that specific color; in our case, 1050 shows 10% blackness, 50% chromaticness, and 40% whiteness. Thus, these two tools combine to give us an exact identification of our imagined color. It is also important to note that both tools make up a threedimensional color space, within which all imaginable surface colors can be plotted and given an NCS Notation. After a brief explanation of the science behind the natural color system, Mr. Rakan also concluded the presentation by mentioning the “Green Building Solutions” Jotun offers. These are a range of products that comply with important international green building standards that can help a building get “up to 7 points” in international green metrics. Following the talk, it was time for the audience to engage and ask questions about the presented information. Maheder Gebremedhin (Principal Architect at Yema Architecture and Director at the Urban Center) was first. Maheder: One challenge we have with clients and sometimes amongst ourselves is the disparity between on-screen representations and the actual outcome, especially on bigscale projects. Do you have any tips for that? Jotun Panel: We usually send bigger samples, at least A4 size, complete with the NCS code, which will help the client/designer visualize it better. Maheder: Are there possibilities for on-site tests before applying the full paint on the building? Jotun Panel: Yes, we do tests before applying the paint. We also do site inspections to check for any structural or hairline cracks and address those before starting with our basecoat paint. After we apply the base coat, and it cures, we continue with the inspection and areas: Jotun Interior. Colors can be a great tool to achieve an envisioned spatial atmosphere and hence the paint used can have a great impact on the space. Hence “protection, enhancement, and standing out are what we care about with interiors” Mr. Rakan. The presentation then touched on the “Fenomastic Wonder Wall” featuring a high-quality luxurious silky finish and superior washability plus the “Fenomastic My Home Rich Matt”, which, as the name suggests, gives a matt finish. We then jump to the second focus area, the exterior paint. The outward look of a building largely makes up for the perception of the structure of its onlookers, which makes it as important, if not more than, the interior. The main issue with outdoor paints is “crack bridging” says Mr. Rakan, who presents the “Jotashield Color Extreme” to address this issue with added benefits of low maintenance and durable color performance. Besides the color, one added quality of paint lies in its tactile nature, which adds depth and sensory experiences to the building. This is achievable through the “Jotashield Tex Family” designed to increase the durability of walls and allow for crack bridging. This was further shown through a live demonstration with a sample paint to test its tear resistance. The third part of the presentation focused on the topic of color and its psychology, schemes, as well as organizations. The Jotun team discussed the impact of colors on experience by imagining scenarios where a room was painted in three cases: entirely dark, all colors, and a few neutral colors. Each would evoke certain emotional feedback in the same space, which underlies the importance of not only choosing the right colors but also having a system that allows for a systematic selection. And here is where the “NCS–natural color system” comes in handy. NCS is a scientifically supported color scheme that enables precise cross-industry color communication for designers and manufacturers, retailers, and customers. Because NCS is based on how humans see color visually, you can use it to describe the color on any surface you can think of. The color system has become a universal standard for color definition, quality control, and communication because of this. An NCS Notation

Participant #2: Do you have the same products for every country, say what you provide for Norway and Ethiopia, is a similar product? Jotun Panel: We always test our products in that specific context to see if it works under that climate and conditions, then make our conclusions. That is one of the primary reasons our research institutions exist, to address the specific needs of different regions. Participant #2: From your experience, how much of a building cost do paintings and coatings account for? Jotun Panel: It is typically less than 2%. Participant #3: Can we apply these products to existing walls? Jotun Panel: If the existing paint has coats up to 2-3 times, there are no complications; however, if the existing wall has coats up to 4-5 times, we will need to do a bit of sanding. This gives the wall a texture that will help the paint bind to the surface. Participant #4: Other than crack bridging, are there any benefits to using Jotun exterior products such as dust resistance? Also, when painting a building, the local unskilled personnel rarely do a satisfactory job of painting the prime coat, which will end the final product; so what is your recommendation while using your products? Jotun Panel: Our products offer good washability characters, but it also depends on your color choice. For instance, choosing a beige color in a desert is wiser than pure white. Regarding personnel, the solution is a well-trained practitioner and constant followup. Training practitioners to upgrade their level is also in our domain of services. Participant #5: Do you have any cost comparisons to any of the local paint products in Ethiopia? Jotun Panel: We take this in terms of lifetime cost evaluation to understand the true scale and impact. After the brief question-and-answer period, it was time for the Jotun team to showcase a live demonstration of their products for their washability characters. The team did the first test using beige color, which was shown to have good resistance to dust, and why color choice matters. They replicated the test with a sample of white color which also showed good washability characters. The second demo focused on interior paints which were exposed to alcohol spills and ketchup. In both instances, the team showed anyone can easily wash the paints with water. Following the demonstrations and some more questions, the one-hour event concluded with key points raised by the Jotun team and the participants as well. We learned about the latest techniques and innovations in this field, which will help us to create more sustainable and durable buildings. We would like to thank all our speakers, sponsors, and attendees who made this possible. Stay well and be sure to check out the upcoming Architects ወርሃዊ session!

20 Lideta Merkato was intended to be a shopping mall just like many others in the city of Addis Ababa.

The observation of the Old Merkato, the largest open air market in Africa, was an inspiration to redefine the program of the building, conceiving a multistory contemporary market instead of a conventional shopping mall based on large shops. The carved volume connects two parallel streets that define the plot of the project. This diagonal connection creates a shortcut for pedestrians and concentrates all the entrances of the building. This path extends to the inclined atrium in the middle of the building, where all floors are connected.

Constantly ceased power supply is one of the main obstacles Ethiopia is facing. This occurring problem was turned into an opportunity by placing circular shaped photo-voltaic umbrellas in the rooftop that create nice shaded entertainment areas. The roof also functions as a rainwater collection system by draining and storing the rainwater in the basement tanks, which later goes through a filtration process to be reused for building´s toilets and taps.

38 Building information modeling (BIM) is recognized as digital innovation for the built environment. It is often misled and associated just with the use of digital tools (BIM is not a software), instead, it is a methodology that includes technology, processes, and policies. It is obvious that the construction industry is very slow in adopting innovation i.e drawings were the only means of communication. That is still the case. With the introduction of computers, a new approach to design began in the 1950s, far away from the construction sector by Patrick J. Hanratty, computer-aided design (CAD). This was indeed a big revolution at the time for it became the end of manual drafting. But it just allowed to do the same things(draw) digitally. Already in the 1960 3d representations began in the manufacturing and film industries. Nowadays the use of CAD in Architecture, Engineering, construction, and Operations (AECO) the sector is everywhere. In Ethiopia, it found its way in the 1990s too. In 1974 Charles Eastman put the foundations of what we now call Building information modeling (BIM) in his paper called Building Description System (BDS): CAD was not enough, there was a need of having a 3D object-based modeling linked to a database. This allowed us to represent objects by Paraments (Hight width), rules (constraints, modifications), and attributes (material thermal performance, cost….). Charles Eastman has been recognized as the “father of BIM” for his contribution to digitization of the construction. Building information modeling (BIM) in the industry, they vary from country to country What Really is BIM? Sofonias Solomon
article 39 and organization to organization even in the same area, however, the two main sources on the terminology of BIM are the “BIM Dictionary” by BIM Excellence Initiative (BIMe Initiative) and the International Standardization Committee (ISO).in addition BuildingSMART has developed a Data Dictionary (BSDD). The BIM Dictionary defines BIM as a “set of technologies, processes, and policies enabling multiple stakeholders to collaboratively design, construct and operate a Facility in virtual space”. In addition, it is mentioned that as a term, [01] “the term BIM continues to evolve over the years and is thus best understood as an 'expression of digital innovation' across the construction industry and the overall Built Environment” What is relevant is that BIM is not just a set of tools (technologies), but it includes also processes and policies. Those three aspects are called “BIM Fields”. and each of those includes specific players. To be proficient in BIM, all those fields should be well understood and implemented. The most recent one is included in the ISO 19650-1 [7] as the “use of a shared digital representation of a built asset (e.g. buildings, bridges, roads, process plants) to facilitate design, construction and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions”. For the latest definitions, it is advised to consult the ISO Online Browsing Platform. When a building or infrastructure is represented in 3D geometry, it is often called a “3D model” or “geometrical model”. But just having a 3D model is not enough for having a BIM-based project. When object-based technology is used and the 3D geometry is associated with a Database, we get a Building information model, or simply a model. Usually, each discipline is modeled in a separate way (e.g. architectural; structural; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP); and landscape) using shared Source https://www.BIMframework.info/2013/12/BIM-fields.html
40 And depending on how you use it, to what potential the return differs. That is why it is advised to learn the concepts and have a strategy to adopt BIM. If we don’t use it properly or at least to achieve a certain goal it might not be as fruitful as told. There are a few websites that can be a good place to start your journey, to name a few, ISO, BuilingSMART, BIM Excellence, BIM dictionary, Autodesk official page, UK BIM framework BIMSingapore, etc. This is not a comprehensive list but it can help you understand the basic concepts and how BIM is getting to become industry standard all over the world. In Ethiopia, the Ethiopian standardization agency (ESA)is working towards formulating standards with annexes and amendments that will make it suitable to practice, at the time of this article the ESA is undergoing discussions with stakeholders, association representatives, and other parties to finalize the formulation process. In the meantime, as the changes of Industry 4.0 are evolving the AEC industry, we are presented with unique opportunities to bring about positive change in our industry. Ethiopia’s construction industry, from building to infrastructure has so much room to grow as compared to the advancements seen in the AEC industry around the world. One can argue that it might give us a latecomer advantage: true. BIM is a system that is still under development, some countries have worked on it for more than a decade to create a standardized system. The research and development of all these countries give us a starting point for the system of our industry. coordinates. Thus, different disciplines can be developed by different specialists, but they are coordinated and synchronized. When change happens in a model belonging to a different discipline, it can be visualized by others in real time. The industry mainly uses the term “BIM model” to refer to 3D parametric representations. However, the reader should be careful in using this term with ISO 19650 series, as that term is not defined (instead it is an information model) and it can lead to misinterpretation, especially in contractual documentation. Therefore, it is advised to always include a glossary and specify each term to avoid confusion. There is a lot to say about BIM and over the last few years ample resources can be found Online. yet as this is a developing field and many parties are developing their own interpretations, it's advised to get the latest information on the development of the topic. Well, one might ask what are the advantages of BIM, the above descriptions may give you a glimpse but let's add more. • Maximized efficiency • Reduce Costs and Wastage • Better Insight into the Project • Communication and Collaboration • Less Risk and Wastage • Better End Results • And more...
article 41 Lastly, the opportunities in BIM are vast. As stated above most traditional systems in practice here are bound to change, and now is the time for those in the industry to take charge of this transformation. For reference, you can find a well-organized list of BIM model uses on the BIMe initiative website, it lists 200+ use cases, and more than 80% are not even present In our industry, it is evident that with the mega projects coming and private developers getting massive projects, the need for these will manifest sooner than expected. On a final note, technology will give us an advantage but one needs to innovate the way we do business as well, to disrupt the market. [02] “The development of innovative technology alone will not transform or disrupt an industry. Instead, disruption occurs when an innovative technology is paired with the development of a new and transformative business model”. From designers to contractors to programmers or entrepreneurs, let this be a challenge. Citations [1] BIMe Initiative.: Building information modeling (BIM).

Concerns have been raised about the safety of hotels in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, after a survey found that only 10 out of 180 hotels met the fire risk safety standards. The survey, conducted by the Fire and Disaster Risk Management Commission, also found that only 25 out of 17,519 institutions in the city fulfilled the requirement. The Commission emphasized that all newly built hotels must meet the standards set by Regulation No. 132/2014 “Disaster Risk Safety”, while existing hotels are required to at least meet the latest standard. The Commission warned that institutions that fail to implement the guidelines set forth in the regulation will face legal consequences. The survey results have sparked concerns about the safety of hotel guests and workers. The Commission has urged all hotels and institutions in the city to prioritize fire risk safety measures to ensure the safety of all.
