THE TWO AREAS I WILL BE WORKING ON

 

  • ROBOTC ARCHITECTURE

I believe I will be working on Robotic Architecture in the future.

This idea will help me understand architecture in a different form and will also help me further the architectural visions of my institute EiABC. In order to implement this idea, I will be submitting my Project proposal to my department head and further the steps to being a research.

 

  • ETHIO PLUGIN

This was the idea that brought me to FABACADEMY. I was developing Ethiopian plugin and thought i would get lots of ideas. My research idea was briefed this way:

General Description

Ethio-plug-in is a research conducted to digitize and document Ethiopian:
1. Traditional and modern furniture and fixtures
2. Architectural Details
3. Indigenous plants
4. Textures and patterns
5. House typologies

 

In practical sense, almost all students in an institute such as EiABC and professionals in our country make it their responsibility to experiment and learn different software program formally and informally to perform their design works and prepare presentations using the software. For very long time different institutes of design, construction and engineering have been trying to encourage Ethiopian designers and builders to consider Ethiopian (local) building construction techniques on their works. Therefore software are important grounds to access these students and professionals, and expose them to Ethiopian style design/construction techniques. By providing them with a software plug-in equipped with Ethiopian construction techniques, building typologies, furniture and utensil designs, textures and patterns. Here these students and professionals do not only look at and read the elements but they will have a chance to implement them in their works there by transforming and developing Ethiopian architecture. Almost all software are produced in developed countries. Therefore are equipped with the relative country’s culture and construction details and furniture, landscape and texture libraries. This research is concerned with preparing software plug-in that contains: construction details, building typologies, furniture and utensil designs, textures and patterns that are Ethiopian.
