Urban Genesis
Des agriculteurs éthiopiens et des architectes internationaux ont uni leurs forces pour s’attaquer au problème de l’exode rural. Au fin fond de l’arrière-pays africain, ces participants inégaux construisent une petite ville modèle qui pourrait ouvrir la voie à une sortie de la crise migratoire mondiale. FASIL GIORGHIS, une star éthiopienne de l’architecture, mène des recherches sur la manière de gérer durablement la transformation sociale. 85 % de la population éthiopienne vit encore de l’agriculture de subsistance, dont TILAHUN AYELEW. Il mise sur la ville modèle BuraNEST. À l’origine de la ville modèle se trouve l’idée de FRANZ OSWALD, un architecte suisse qui tente maintenant de transmettre entièrement le projet à ses partenaires éthiopiens. HELEN, étudiante en architecture à Addis-Abeba, suit le projet depuis son mémoire de licence.
