A museum made of mud and straw has opened its doors in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. Visitors to the museum “come to experience the sources of food,” which is cultivated on site at Zoma, Assegued says. Sime, the project’s architect, worked with a team of masons to build the several incredible houses that populate the grounds. The huts are based on traditional Ethiopian structures, using an ancient indigenous techniques that have been re-interpreted for a contemporary institution. Sime and Assegued are also currently focused on another kind of sustainability: creating a foundation to support the privately-funded museum in the future.
