Strengthening South–South Conversations in Architecture | CCBA Designs in Ethiopia

We are proud to share that our Managing Director, Mr. Ramprasad Akkisetti, and Director, Mr. Rahul Sathe, recently conducted a knowledge-sharing session with the architectural community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Hosted with the support of the Embassy of India, the event brought together students and professionals for a rich exchange of ideas on contextual and culturally grounded design practices.

Mr. Ramprasad underscored the importance of India and Africa looking inward—and toward each other—to shape architectural identities that are authentic, local, and future-facing, instead of borrowing uncritically from the West.
