Adaptive Reuse

You don't need to build new to build better. Adaptive reuse is about seeing buildings not as finished products, but as evolving resources. Instead of demolishing, we rethink. Instead of discarding, we redesign. A warehouse becomes a school. An office becomes homes. A ruin becomes a space for ideas.

At Bachelor track Circular Cities & Communities, students learn to:

- Analyse the reuse potential of existing structures
- Work with constraints instead of blank pages
- Design with memory, context and circular principles

Demolition is easy. Imagination is harder. That's why the future of urban sustainability lies not in more concrete, but in smarter reuse.

The defining feature of a #Brutalist building is its exposed (naked) concrete.

The National Museum at 5 Kilo in Addis Abeba, designed by Ethiopian architect Gashaw Beza Tesfamichael, stands out as likely the only Brutalist structure in Ethiopia listed in SOS Brutalism, a renowned global archive of over 2,000 Brutalist buildings. However, its raw character has been diminished by a misguided renovation that coated the concrete in a dull, blotchy grey paint; masking its natural materiality and undermining its architectural integrity.

Addis Abeba’s Unseen Crisis: Beyond the Numbers

'These snapshots capture a growing crisis in Addis Ababa: the visible rise of a new, precarious class of destitute people in Ethiopia’s capital. Once the domain of those facing generational poverty, the streets now hold families who never imagined they would be here β€” pushed out by rising costs, displacement, and economic uncertainty. Their faces β€” a reflection of a country in flux, where the line between stability and desperation grows thinner by the day.' writes Addis Getachew
