Studio Other Spaces has conceptualised an expansive landscape connecting multiple structures along a 2.4 kilometre walking path in Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi Memorial Park.
Located in in Addis Ababa, the park project includes seven pavilions and five buildings constructed by combining local methods, crafts, and materials with modern technology.
The park's circular buildings offer a range of functions such as an events space, guesthouse, office, research centre and library.
Led by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann, the overall design strives to facilitate exchange through recreation and education.
This project has been longlisted in the mixed-use project category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
