I hope you're aware that Ethiopians do not use such a term while referring to America. arzaranh March 3rd, 2009, 05:23 PM what are you trying to imply with the "Great Satan" reference? I hope you're aware that Ethiopians do not use such a term while referring to America. this is the MENA forum, that term is used by many from this region of the world. i didn't want to just say "i'm american" and it just popped in my head, so... my apologies if i offended anyone. abesha March 4th, 2009, 12:55 PM Some tiny pics.

The background was a huge open space 10 years ago (in fact it was considered almost out of town): http://addisconnexion.com/images/stories/article_images/MayJun_2008/MeriLuki1.JPG mike7743 March 5th, 2009, 09:26 PM wow, the house designs are awful, almost embarrassing. as if there is no plan for the city and just random buildings popping up. Addis residents will regret it in a few years. now, this I really like. the house, the space, the fence. all clean, clear and beautiful. this is how you design a suburb. http://addisconnexion.com/images/stories/article_images/MayJun_2008/NewDevelopments/5CCDDevpt.JPG arzaranh March 6th, 2009, 12:17 AM wow, the house designs are awful, almost embarrassing. as if there is no plan for the city and just random buildings popping up.

The picture you quoted is a planned real estate development out of the outskirts of the city so it looks "clean" and organized because there's space there. The others are from neighborhoods in the congested parts of town. IMO, eventually, way in the future, those downtown will probably make way for towers. I agree with Arzaranh too. At least those in the middle of town reflect the personality and taste of the owners. Those in planned suburban developments are just cookie-cutter so nothing unique or interesting about them. mike7743 March 6th, 2009, 02:57 AM you've lost your mind if you think that this is great. every house is the same color, and looks almost the same as its neighbor. they are trying to be grand and palatial yet still affordably priced. that in and of it self is a contradiction. i agree the other designs are awful but at least the designers have some amount of imagination. these houses look horrible in the u.s. and even worse in ethiopia. well in that sense you are completely missing the point of designing suburbs. they need to be clean, accessible, organized and family friendly. more importantly also affordable. which is why people leave the city to live in them. the fact that they looks similar means nothing really. imagination should run wild in a city with tall buildings and art centers, libraries and such or in the outskirts of privately built large multimillion dollars houses. Abesha, I agree. I think the fact that there are large fences (almost as tall as the houses, in some cases) are also a distraction, not to mention the poorly designed narrow streets almost instantly take away the beauty of the house and the entire area. let's just hope more designed and clean suburbs (as in the one in the pic above) will pop up soon. Universal Soulja March 6th, 2009, 03:15 AM great pics thx 4 sharing yosef March 6th, 2009, 03:21 AM http://addisconnexion.com/images/stories/article_images/MayJun_2008/FabHouses/OldAirport3.jpg wow I love this house, acutally I love most of those houses. lol...I guess Im the only one. but I hate these grand fences and walls that people build around their houses. I guess its difficult to seperate a habesh from his sense of "privacy" in Addis. :lol: ......but in all seriousness, these giant walls have got to stop. yosef March 6th, 2009, 03:23 AM oh and thanks for the pics abesha, excellent set. :okay: hsark March 6th, 2009, 03:57 PM i love the design of the previous houses its more interesting architectural than wat u guys deem suburban , i supposes you also want them to have 2.1 kids too mike7743 March 6th, 2009, 09:20 PM i love the design of the previous houses its more interesting architectural than wat u guys deem suburban , i supposes you also want them to have 2.1 kids too all the sarcasm aside, actually that's not a bad idea, considering the fact that Ethiopia's population almost doubled in less than 20 years in an unsustainable economy. it's really nice to see all the development tho. more pics please. abesha March 7th, 2009, 01:02 AM A mall u/c in Mekelle.
