The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church<\/strong> in Stockholm, designed by Belatchew Arkitekter<\/strong><\/a>, was deemed ‘Highly Commended’ at the World Architecture Festival Awards<\/strong> in Berlin. World Architecture Festival is the world’s largest international architectural event where the premier buildings of the year around the world are awarded. This year the festival took place in November in Berlin, Germany. The jury appreciated the strong sculptural feature of the church, it’s connection to history across the borders and the way it offered a civic space to a community larger than the parish.
\n“Being awarded in an international context like the World Architecture Festival is especially rewarding as it proves that our projects are of international standards<\/em>“, says Rahel Belatchew<\/strong>, Principal Architect, CEO and Founder, Belatchew Arkitekter.
\n“This project also shows how a building intended for a congregation could simultaneously become a meeting place for a neighborhood. Bridges are built over cultures for better social cohesion and buildings in the city are optimally utilized. Both these aspects play a crucial role for the sustainable cities of the future<\/em>“, Rahel Belatchew concludes.<\/p>
