Ethiopia’s Green Structures and Puzzle Houses

Ethiopia is the fastest growing non-oil based economy in the world, and people like Helawi Sewnet are part of the reason why. He is an architect from Ethiopia who specializes in green, sustainable, locally-sourced structures. The Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building and Construction, is where it all happens. Helawi and his students help to equip Ethiopia’s middle and lower class with housing as the country undergoes this unprecedented economic explosion.
