dc.description.abstractEnThis booklet takes you through streets where Addis Ababa's early history is most apparent in the architecture, in the central neighborhood of Piazza also known as Arada. Imposing or modest, sometimes dilapidated, residences and commercial buildings are reminiscent of the making of the urban fabric from the creation of Addis Ababa in the late 1880s to the Italian downtown re-de- sign in 1937-41. Born from the gebbi, the palace of Emperor Menelik II, the city grew quickly. The almost empty site in the 1910s saw several construction booms to accommodate nearly 100,000 inhabitants in 1935. Concrete structures, glass towers, and high-rise shopping centers are features of the city’s recent development. Before the 1940s, construction techniques involved mainly the use of stone, mud and lime, corrugated-iron sheets, wood, and bricks. Few residences had more than one story. What made early Addis Ababa “urban” and “modern” were the metal roofs, the adoption of the rectangular shape villa, and foreign architectural influences. These multiple influences created styles unique to the city of Addis Ababa.
