Addis Ababa Exhibition Center

The design for the Addis Ababa Exhibition Centre Site creates a fully integrated and pedestrian centered mixed-use development of over 70,000 square meters built on nearly 4.5 acres in north east Africa. Providing dynamic retail, food and beverage amenities, office space, cultural and entertainment facilities, and a business hotel, the design of this development incorporates the existing adjacent Addis Ababa Museum, providing an iconic destination retail, entertainment and cultural environment. Serving both local inhabitants and visitors alike, the design solution seeks to create a lively and informal ground level experience tied to the natural landscape coupled with a more formal and structured experience that rises from the lower level as a series of well sculpted towers.
