Woliatta Village
BUDGET
$1M - 5M
Woliatta Village is a collaborative project designed by Ethiopia Studio, eleven ASU graduate students led by a practicing architect. The project includes an orphanage, chapel, medical clinic and guest house for the community of Soddo, in Ethiopia, Africa. In an effort to plunge maturing architecture and landscape architecture
students into ‘authenticity’ – this collaboration took students deep
into reality where they could personally experience the desperate needs
of a community in the developing world. The EthiopiaStudio focused on
the research, comprehensive development and building design of an
orphanage, chapel, medical clinic and guest house for the community of Soddo, (located 350 kilometers south of the capitol city Addis Ababa) in Ethiopia,
Africa. In partnership with an American, non-profit organization
currently working in the community, the EthiopiaStudio developed the
master plan, landscape and architectural design and a complete set of
construction documents for the immediate construction of these
desperately needed facilities to support a community subject to extreme
poverty and famine.The focus of this collaborative design studio is to emphasize reality,
survival and hope through design; synthesizing and shifting the typical
traits of academic work. The EthiopiaStudio fundamentally functioned
like a real-world project team where team members had varied, integral
and necessary responsibilities that served the team as a whole, and
ultimately the needs of the client. The project, Wolaitta Village, will
be built with local materials in a manner that honors the indigenous
culture of the Wolaitta region. Construction will be performed by
Ethiopian builders and artisans; the facilities will be staffed by local
Ethiopians and will provide employment for many people in the
community; thus creating hope and opportunity through meeting the
desperate needs of the children and community.Ethiopia Studio is: Dusty
Bodrero, Stacey Crumbaker, David Fowler, Arundhati Ghosh, Ashlee

Salvador Patino, Edward Scheletsky, led by architect Jack DeBartolo 3
