The defining feature of a #Brutalist building is its exposed (naked) concrete.
The National Museum at 5 Kilo in Addis Abeba, designed by Ethiopian architect Gashaw Beza Tesfamichael, stands out as likely the only Brutalist structure in Ethiopia listed in SOS Brutalism, a renowned global archive of over 2,000 Brutalist buildings. However, its raw character has been diminished by a misguided renovation that coated the concrete in a dull, blotchy grey paint; masking its natural materiality and undermining its architectural integrity.
