The goal of the project is to design an alternative slum upgrading approach in Addis Ababa. Different from the current condominium approach adopted by Ethiopian government, this approach will not involve the eviction and relocation process but allow people remain in place and upgrade the slum area incrementally. The urban strategy is to keep the current urban context and further develop it .This design put forward a module system that contains building module of different dimension and function so it can be adapted to different plots and urban context. The new building typology refer to the local building figure and the local way of living, such as the courtyard and the shared-facility dwelling.
