New book on urban heritage from Addis Ababa including the detailed documentation of 17 case studies, comprehensive influence analysis, and a collection of architectural design principles of the architectural heritage.
Was sind die Ziele und wer ist die Zielgruppe?
The project goal is to create a book, that is captivating for both professionals and the interested general public. The book wants to create more awareness about endangered architectural treasures in an exciting and fast-changing urban context.
Warum sollte jemand dieses Projekt unterstützen?
The book will compile photographic documentation, detailed architectural drawings as well as concise descriptions of endangered heritage buildings to an extent it has never done before. By supporting this project you help make this book reality.
The book is very educative as well, as it analyses the architectural influences that made up the value of this local type. The book also wants to inspire to think about the contemporary benefit of deeply understanding its unique architectural qualities.
Was passiert mit dem Geld bei erfolgreicher Finanzierung?
The money (10.000€ when the crowdfunding started) is needed for layout, editing, printing, delivery, storage, etc. of the book. The exact breakdown of costs is not so easy to answer because all items are only covered to a (fractional) extent. These figures are always based on a mixed calculation.
++ Currently (as of 8.5.2023), 4.700€ are still missing. ++
Get in tough with me if you have any question regarding the funding.
