The project will document five historic buildings in Addis Ababa, built between 1886 and 1935, using advanced photogrammetry technology. The initiative will focus on capturing detailed floor plans, elevations, and architectural features of these buildings to create accurate, digital 3D models.

In addition to the technical documentation, the project will provide training for fifteen architecture students and five university instructors at Addis Ababa University, building capacity in the field of heritage preservation and photogrammetry. This training will fill an existing skills gap and contribute to the integration of photogrammetry into Ethiopia’s conservation efforts. By embedding this technology into the university curriculum, the project ensures long-term sustainability, with the trained instructors passing on these skills to future generations.

Through this project, the heritage buildings will be preserved digitally, and the resulting models will be showcased in a public exhibition. This exhibition will serve to raise awareness about the value of heritage preservation and promote the importance of safeguarding Ethiopia’s architectural history for future generations.
