We do urban researches, and we host the conversations.

Through radio, research, and a physical space at the heart of Addis Abeba, The Urban Center has been working at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, and the built environment.

This is what we do. Swipe to see all of it.

ከፍተኛ የሙያ ብቃት በማሳየት በተለያዩ አማካሪ ድርጅቶች ውስጥ እና ከአለም አቀፍ አሠሪዎች ጋር ይሠራ የነበረው የአቶ ኤልናታን ማቲዮስን ዕረፍት ከጥልቅ ኅዘን ጋር እናሳውቃለን።

ኤልናታን እንደ "ኤልቬሽን " እና "ከፍታ" ያሉ አፓርትመንት ፕሮጀክቶችን ላይ በዲዛይን እና ቁጥጥር ሥራ ተሳትፏል።

ትልቅ ተስፋ ከተጣለባቸው እጅግ ጎበዝ ባለሙያ ወጣት አርክቴክቶች መሀል የነበረው ኤልናታን ብዙ ሕፃናትን በማስተማር እና በማገዝ ይታወቃል።

የኤልናታን ማቲዎስ የቀብር ሥነ-ሥርዓት ቅዳሜ ፣ ሚያዝያ 10 ቀን 2018 ዓ.ም በቅዱስ ዮሴፍ ቤተ-ክርስቲያን ከቀኑ በ6፡00 ሰዓት ይፈፀማል።

ለቤተሰቦቹ ፣ ለሥራ ባልደረቦቹ እንዲሁም ለሙያ አጋሮቹና ወዳጆቹ መጽናናትን እንመኛለን።.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Elnathan Matheos, who demonstrated high professional excellence while working in various consulting firms and with international employers.

The funeral of Elnathan Matheos will take place at St. Yoseph Church at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
