የሀ-በሻ ኪነ-ህንጻ ፡ Yeha-Besha Architecture

Dear Readers,

In this issue, we shine a spotlight on architecture that serves humanity, bringing purpose, culture, and thoughtful design into spaces that transform lives.

Our cover story focuses on the Busajo Campus in Soddo, Ethiopia, a remarkable facility dedicated to helping street children rebuild their lives. Designed with a deep respect for local culture and climate, the campus blends traditional Ethiopian building techniques with sustainable, modern solutions. The thoughtful use of local materials like eucalyptus wood and natural red earth ensures the children feel a sense of belonging, while the campus itself is a self-sustaining haven, equipped with vegetable gardens, animal husbandry, and an autonomous well that even supports the surrounding community.

Dear Readers,

Welcome to a special edition of Ketema Journal, celebrating our 4th anniversary and 25th issue. Over the past four years, Ketema has showcased some of the most fascinating projects across diverse scales.

In this milestone issue, we explore the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum, which vividly recounts a resurrected warrior’s journey through the historic site. The museum's intricate design, featuring grand staircases, memorial courtyards, and the striking Negarit centerpiece, honors the Battle of Adwa's legacy and Ethiopia's rich history, celebrating the sacrifices of its heroes

አራት ኪሎ የሚገኝው የአርበኞች የድል ሐውልት ዙርያ የተተከለው የውሀ ፏፏቴ (fountain) የሚረጨው ከፍተኛ መጠን ያለው ውሀ ይህን ዘመን ተሻጋሪ ድንቅ ሀውልት በምታዩት መልኩ እያበሰበሰው እና በአልጌ እንዲወረር እያረገው ይገኛል።

በዚሁ ከቀጠለ ሀውልቱንም ይሁን በሀውልቱ ላይ የሚታዩትን ፅሁፎች እንዳያጠፋ ያሰጋል። ትኩረት ቢሰጠው።
