RENAISSANCE STONES
10 ...continues on next page The monthly Architects ወርሃዊ Session was abuzz with excitement as people gathered to learn about the restoration of the Yimtubezina Museum and Cultural Center located inside Friendship Park #2. The building, which was built in 1892 E.C, had fallen into disrepair in recent years, but thanks to the hard work of a dedicated team of preservationists, it is now once again a shining example of early 20th-century architecture. The restoration project was not just about restoring the building to its former glory, however, it was also about preserving a piece of the community's history. The event also coincided with the “Horsemanship in Ethiopia” exhibition, which detailed the history of horsemanship in the country and its different aspects. The event was an opportunity for attendees to learn about the historical residence's journey through time, from its historic beginnings to its current status as a museum and cultural center. The event also highlighted the building's continued value to the community, as a source of history, education, and inspiration. Yimtubezina Museum and Cultural Center is a former residence of Mrs. Yimtubezinash Habte, which stands near the Grand Palace of the former Basha Wolde Chilot area, was constructed in 1892 E.C., by visiting Indian builders. The house was registered as an Ethiopian heritage site by the Ethiopian Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage in 1982 E.C. and is currently one of the heritage houses included in Addis Ababa’s Master Plan. Abel Assefa, Director, and Chief Curator welcomed all the attendees and expressed his gratitude for architects showing interest in learning about the restoration process of the museum. He kicked off his presentation by describing who Mrs. Yimtubezinash was. Mrs. Yimtubezinash was a successful businesswoman and patriot during the reign of Emperors Menelik II and Haile Selassie I. She was also a sister of the renowned patriot Fitawrari Shemeles Habte, who was the administrator of the Harar Garamuleta and surrounding area and who sacrificed his life protecting his country from Fascist Italy during the first Italian invasion (Maychew). Mrs. Yimtubezinash herself raised arms against the Italian invaders, who, after hearing of her participation, captured and brought her to Addis Ababa. There, she remained in prison until 1933 E.C., where she endured many hardships. After sharing the owner's incredible story, Abel explained three key reasons the house is considered a historical and architectural treasure. 1. Hybrid Architectural style & foreign craftsmanship: The building was constructed using mud and wood by visiting Indian builders. 2. Historic contribution to the flourishment of Addis Ababa: It was not truly after 1888 that Addis Ababa was a permanent capital of Ethiopia. After the battle of Adwa, Emperor Menelik gave lands to war heroes, embassies, and business people, which helped to expand the city. However, in 10 years, the city experienced a shortage of wood and other building supplies. This led the emperor to consider shifting the capital to Addisalem. However, ambassadors and respected business owners such as Mrs. Yimtubezinash contested this move The Poetics of Rehabilitation The Case of Yimtubezina Museum With Abel Assefa Summary: Nahom Atakilt Session45

It was critical to design the new system in close relation to the architectural characteristics of the original building. As a result, the new spotlights and other apparatus were derived from the building itself and then modified for its use as a museum. The restoration work created many jobs, and Abel Assefa mentioned that one of the important things about such restoration works is their ability to uncover local skills and give them contemporary relevance. After the restoration work was completed, the building needed to have its collection to operate as a museum. Luckily, the house had a good amount of existing archives. The family of Mrs. Yimtubezinash had a great dedication to preserving and maintaining any valuable belongings for five consecutive generations, which helped increase the number of collections to 700. The restoration team also added a café to the museum, not only to generate revenue for the establishment but also to provide park visitors with a chance to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee in the warmth of history. The museum has now been recognized by the Ethiopian National Museum and “strives to work in presenting and creating platforms and forums for cultural exchanges”. Abel concluded his presentation with a remark, reminding the audience that the "behind-the-scenes" work of restoration is often just as important as the visible work. He cited the negotiations, ownership battles, and other challenges that the project faced as evidence of this. He then challenged the audience, especially architects, to think critically about these "invisible" aspects of restoration and to ensure that they are given the attention they deserve. Participant #1: How much investment did the restoration require? Abel: The estimated amount is five up to seven million birr, including the restoration and museum costs. Participant #2: What was the hardest negotiation term? Can you clarify the current ownership status and if there are any visit limits because of the structural stability of the museum? Abel: I wouldn't say it was the hardest part, but in principle, any collection should be stored outside of the museum. We thought of constructing a small structure to hold these collections, but the guidelines for the new park were very strict and did not allow such additions. I think it would have created an interesting space. Regarding ownership, it is in the hands of the current generation of Mrs. Yimtubezinash's family, with a recognized property map. We have also set the capacity of 200 people per day for safety reasons. You might have noticed that the restoration only replaced the wood on the balcony and the basic wood structure remains intact. We have also closed off the upper portion of the museum to the public to avoid any long-term structural impacts until we are certain. Participant #3: Can you explain the concept of “adaptive reuse”? and later won. Their establishment of houses and other businesses in Addis Ababa helped to ensure that the city remained the capital of Ethiopia. 3. Social Value: In a patriarchal society, it was not common for women to own large lands or build houses; it was a great achievement for Mrs. Yimtubezinash to build this house as a successful businesswoman. Despite its significance, the heritage building has endured multiple challenges, among which two are the most notable. The Derg regime's law to confiscate extra landholdings and the 2007/08 E.C. 4kilo redevelopment initiative posed two threats to the preservation of the heritage piece. In the first case, the Derg transferred ownership of any associated buildings and assets to Kebele, which harmed the preservation of the heritage piece. In the second case, the redevelopment had plans to clear most slums in the area and construct a new parliament where the current Friendship Park #2 resides. However, the building’s previous recognitions and its heritage status in the master plan helped to save it from being erased. Then, two years later, there was a political landscape change that saw the previous plans for a new parliament being dropped in favor of a public park. This was clearly a better fate for the heritage building, but it was sure to bring another dimension to the conservation efforts. The new development amidst such a historic landscape brought a conflict of interest that had to be solved between the government, the client (the family of Yimtubezinash), and the Authority for Research & Conservation of Cultural Heritage (ARCCH). The stakeholders involved in the development of the new park had different opinions on how the heritage building should be integrated into the new park. However, they all agreed that the building needed to be preserved. The building was shifting from a private residence to a component in a public park, which meant that it had to meet certain standards. One of these standards was that the building had to be painted white, as this would give it a more dominant look and make it more visible to visitors. The owner of the building was interested in adaptive reuse, meaning that they wanted to convert the building into a museum. In line with this, the ARCCH demanded that any restoration be done in a way that would maintain the historical authenticity of the original house. After a series of talks and discussions that lasted almost a year, the restoration of the house began. The restoration team made some design adjustments to integrate the house into its new context without altering its identity. The restoration of the house included reconstructing the upper portion, which was unsteady
article 13 Menelik II Ave, Addis Ababa Ethiopian Women Federation Building, Ground Floor. 251 115 58 16 33 [email protected] @theurbancenter The Urban Center is a Creative space born out of the radio show KEBET ESKE KETEMA / ከቤት እስከ ከተማ started on December 25, 2007, focusing on Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and urban life. Abel: It is all about “society dynamic”. Urban residents, especially, live in a wake of a changing world that is in a constant state of flux. So the challenge is how to keep track of and adapt the building to a contemporary setting while preserving its historic roots. It's not just about preserving the building for its own sake. It's about making sure that it remains relevant to the people who use it. That's why we've made sure to incorporate some modern elements into the restoration, such as the café and the new lighting. We want the building to be a place where people can come to learn about the past, but also to connect with the present. Participant #4: What was the overall public reception of the museum after it opened? Abel: The opening of the museum was a learning opportunity for us. We learned about the importance of accessibility for people with disabilities, and we also learned about other issues that may not have been given central focus in the restoration process. We also received many apositive reviews, as well as some honest critiques, which gave us valuable insights into how we can improve the space and overall experience. Participant #5: Could you share with us any tough moments in this whole process and how many of the 135 registered heritages in 1982 E.C. have survived? Abel: The most difficult moment came in 2007/08 E.C. when most of 4Kilo was demolished and only a few structures such as this one remained. One day, a team of 20 people came to the property and began measuring it for demolition. At that moment, Ato Berhanu, a member of Mrs. Yimtubezinash’s fifth generation, and others notified local radio stations that the resulting public outcry was enough to stop the demolition that day. Regarding the remaining heritage buildings, one problem we have in Addis Ababa heritage conservation is the lack of a consistent definition of a heritage building. Subsequent heritage registrations after 1982 E.C. have revealed widely varying reporting, making it difficult to know which buildings have survived. To my knowledge, nearly 10 buildings have been demolished. The restoration of the Yimtubezina Museum is a shining example of what can be achieved when people come together with a shared vision. The project was a complex one, but it was ultimately successful thanks to the dedication and hard work of the restoration team and the support of the stakeholders involved. The museum is now a valuable resource for the community, and it is a testament to the power of restoration to breathe new life into old buildings. It is also a reminder that heritage buildings are not just inanimate objects, but are living parts of our culture and history. The 45th Architects Monthly Session came to a close with a tour of the newly restored museum and an exhibition on the history of horsemanship in Ethiopia. Until the next session, take care and be sure to visit this historical landmark!

A place surrounded by lush vegetation, towering mountains, and an expansive lake. A place where you can immerse yourself in the stunning and intricate architecture that reflects the rich, centuries-long history and culture of Ethiopia.

featured 23 Halala Kella Lodge is a new tourist destination in the wild of Southwestern Ethiopia, which has snuggled its way within the Dawro hills and mountains overlooking the lake formed by the Gilgel Gibe III hydroelectric Dam Reservoir. “The lodge is part of the Koysha clusters 'Dine for Ethiopia' flagship initiative of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed introduced in 2021 to boost Ethiopia's tourism industry and position it as a world-class destination.” The Koysha international tourist destination development project is a major undertaking that covers a large area of southwestern Ethiopia, about 450 kilometers from Addis Ababa.
24 ENTRANCE STELES SYMBOLIZING THE “DINKA” IMAGE: KETEMA JOURNAL Named after the fortified stone walls of the Dawro kingdom, Halala Kella lodge sits at an altitude of 900 to 1000 meters above sea level and on a total area of 12 hectares on one of the many abundant hills of the historic land. Dawro had been a highly centralized, powerful independent Kingdom until it was incorporated into Modern Ethiopia by Emperor Menelik II towards the end of the 19th century. The 1200+ km long stone wall is said to have been built to protect the Dawro people from invaders but also served as a symbol of their strength and unity. Its building work was started several years before King Halala came to power and saw completion during his reign; hence the walls are named after him. Because of the location’s historic and cultural significance, it was critical to lay out a general direction for a new development, described in its two main objectives: One is to develop the existing natural and man-made resources in the area by making the attractions physically and visually accessible, usable, and enjoyable to incoming tourists, conserving the historic and cultural resources of the great Dawro walls. And two to create new experiences in the area by introducing contemporary tourist facilities, unique accommodation types, and physical and visual experiences. To meet these objectives, the architects had to balance the preservation of the past and the needs of the present. They were tasked with creating a structure that would be both functional and respectful of the site's cultural heritage. The reputable RAAS
featured 25 Architects took this challenge and began by studying the local history, culture, and climatic conditions to gain a better understanding of the context. “We thought of the design as an environmental acceptance or response to nature rather than creating buildings. Hence we spent a considerable time figuring out how to frame the majestic views in each of the spaces and reconcile the new development to its context” Rahel Shawl, founder and principal at RAAS Architects Plc. The design team based the concept on respecting the culture and history of the great Halala wall and the people of Dawuro. Inspired by vernacular architecture, the architects took the familiar “tukuls” and translated the horizontality of the Halala stone fence into a rectangular geometry to create villas that celebrate the beauty of both the past and the present. The tukuls’ high roofs were then chamfered to breathe in air and light the space below. This fusion of traditional and
26 contemporary design is evident throughout the resort, from the villas to the site arrangement which gradually progresses from public blocks to private villas. The resort is a multi-villa complex with two presidential villas, 18 one and two-bedroom villas, a convention center and museum, a restaurant and bar, a recreation building, a sunrise restaurant, and a sunset deck spread over the hilly landscape of the site; each oriented to enjoy the picturesque scenes of the landscape. You can arrive at the resort through a full car trip from Addis Ababa through Hawassa–Wolaita Sodo while route visiting the Gilgel Gibe III hydroelectric Dam along your way, or fly towards Arbaminch and take a slight road trip towards the lodge with the opportunity to take a boat excursion in between. Whichever way you choose, you will be blessed with extraordinary views of the surrounding landscape as you near the resort. Depending upon the time of your arrival, you will catch glimpses of the slated roofs glistening in the sun or shrouded in the mist as if they were a secret that the mountains were keeping hidden. On your way past the first gate, you
featured 27 will notice five large steles with diagonal cuts across their neck symbolizing the “Dinka”, the longest woodwind musical instrument in the world (4 to 5 meters long, four in number). As you proceed, you encounter the second gate where the great Halala Stone fence opens up to grant you access to its modern kingdom. Here the architects have put the subtracted wall beside the gate to go in line with “conserving the historic and cultural resources of the great Dawro walls”. You then ascend to the main resort, pass a private route to the presidential suites on your left, and arrive at your first stop: the convention center and museum. The convention center, which can accommodate 155 people, was built to maximize views of the resort's breathtaking surroundings. The space also houses a museum dedicated to the artifacts and exhibits that showcase the rich history and culture of the Dawro and a souvenir shop that sells a variety of locally produced crafts. Outdoors, you will find an amphitheater above which you can spot the Dawro Mountains rising, their peaks and piercing into the clouds. IMAGE: KETEMA JOURNAL
28 After your long journey, you step into the reception area and take a moment to relax while listening to the soothing sounds of water trickling on the walls behind you. The reception is part of a larger building network which comprises a restaurant and bar and a recreation block, complete with an outdoor swimming pool and gymnasium. From the reception, light beams of custom metal artwork depicting the "sun king" King Halala illuminate the path down to the restaurant, welcoming guests like a warm embrace. Descending the stairs, you will find yourself in a spacious minibar with a geometrically framed view of the landscape. The double-height space creates a sense of grandeur and openness, while the geometric framing of the windows adds a touch of sophistication. Upstairs to your left, however, you will find an even bigger surprise: the main restaurant. Upon entering, the space bursts forth from an intimate space to a soaring triple-height, with a transparent mesh melting gracefully from the chamfered rooftop to the ground's rock garden surrounded by water, plants, and rocks. Inside, you will find yourself in a column-free circular space with tables and other features around the peripheries, leaving room in the center for circulation and a natural experience. The restaurant is a microcosm of the outside world; whether it's raining or sunny, you can experience the weather through the transparency of the mesh and the perforated rotating metal screens that enclose the space. Besides their aesthetic qualities, the perforations play a huge role in regulating the space’s comfort level by allowing cold air to seep in through the walls and hot air to vent out through the chamfered top. This helps to keep the space comfortable all year round. To those who love the outdoors, there are seating spaces arranged outside following the restaurant’s circular layout, while landscaped seating spaces are found further down the hill accessible via a gentle ramp. The pool is IMAGE: KETEMA JOURNAL
featured Reception lobby 29
30 located midway between the private villas and the public facilities, and it serves as a transitional element between the two. It is a place where you can transition from the all-encompassing functions of the restaurant to the personal shelters of the villas. As you continue your ascent, you will find yourself on the main pathway, which snakes its way from the resort gate and branches off into three paved paths that lead to different villas. There are 10 one-bedroom, 8 two-bedroom villas, and 2 presidential villas stacked from the lowest to the highest point respectively oriented towards the lake. Walking by, you will notice the high chamfered roofs of the lower villas, covered in shades of grey and with walls painted in a similar color. The occasional burst of orange adds a touch of brightness to the mix. The arrangement of the villas results from the architects' careful planning, which maximized each space's views while also preserving their privacy. The one-bedroom villas are on the lowest contour and offer the best views of the lake and the great Halala stone fence. These villas have a simple circular outline, with a shaded verandah providing a place to relax and enjoy the views.

32 A few meters above, you will find the two-bedroom villas, their partial rectangular geometry lending them an air of sophistication. They are adorned with local stones that shimmer in the light from the perforated angular verandah shade. Inside the villa, you are drawn to the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The white-painted walls act as a neutral backdrop, allowing the views to take center stage. Your eyes will also be drawn upward, where the usual flat ceiling has been replaced by massive glulam timbers that rise from the walls to meet at the center top chamfer. This creates a sense of vertical expansion, making the space feel larger and more open. The outside terrace offers even more expansive views. The wide spans of the terrace allow you to take in the full beauty of the surrounding mountains and lakes. But it is not until you come into the presidential rooms you can fully appreciate the true scale of the surrounding landscape and the villas’ architectural complexity. The two villas are both spacious and luxurious, with a master bedroom, a meeting room, and an indoor courtyard. The courtyard is a cool and refreshing oasis, with a water fountain that cascades over a stone-clad wall. The design team has also used the site’s acute elevation difference to their advantage with splitlevel dining and living room spaces. While sitting on Restaurant Lobby Image: Ketema Journal
featured 33 locally made sofas, you can immerse yourself in the views of the sky and the surroundings, as well as the momentary scenes captured by various photographers on the walls. Outside, the shaded verandah opens up to a wonderful mix of vast landscapes punctuated with the lower villas’ slated roofs almost disappearing into the mountains. As you stroll around, you are rewarded with breathtaking views of the Dawro Mountains stretching out to the horizon in every direction.

34 The sunset deck is located a few steps outside of the Halala stone fence. The oval-shaped sunset deck cantilevers over the far cliff, and gives you the sense of being suspended over the landscape. Visitors can feel as if they are floating in mid-air, awash in the beauty of the setting sun. The place offers far-reaching views of up to 270 degrees and several kilometers along the Omo River with the surrounding green mountains running alongside it. The sunset deck is one of the two facilities that exists outside the Halala stone fence. The other one is the Sunrise restaurant on the lower ground, just a short drive down to the lake where you can dine in the warm kiss of the morning sun, surrounded by the overwhelming nature.

featured 35 The construction of Halala Kella lodge was a true community effort. Local and international artists, contractors, and workers came together to create a place that reflects the rich culture and history of Ethiopia. The artists created custom metalwork, furniture, and artwork that celebrates the local culture. The Contractor Elmi Olindo and its staff should be commended for their dedication and resilience. They worked long hours in hot and humid conditions but were determined to complete the project on time and to the highest standards. ...continues on next page We thought of the design as an environmental response to nature rather than creation of buildings.

38 This level of community collaboration during construction helped to create a sense of ownership and pride in the development, and it ensured that it would be a place that would be enjoyed by both locals and tourists alike. The result of this community effort is a place that is both beautiful and sustainable, completed within just 18 months. Halala Kella Resort is a stunning example of how traditional Ethiopian architecture can be incorporated into contemporary design.

featured 39 buildings are a fusion of traditional and contemporary styles, with elements of Ethiopian culture and history seamlessly incorporated into the space. Its use of local and natural materials, such as stone and wood, gives the buildings a sense of authenticity and belonging to the landscape. It is a place where you can touch, feel, and experience the rich history and culture of Ethiopia. It is also a place of peace and tranquility, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and forests.
