利迪塔·默卡托(LidetaMercato)计划成为一家购物中心，就像亚的斯亚贝巴市的其他许多人一样。一项严格的分析已经确定了城市现有购物中心的主要问题，这些商场通常使用玻璃结构建造。因此，建筑物在内部受到不舒服的热环境和过度照明.对非洲最大的露天市场-老梅尔卡托(OldMercato)的观察，启发了重新定义这座建筑的规划，设想了一个多层的当代市场，而不是以大型商店为基础的传统购物中心。

The Lideta Mercato was intended to be a shopping mall just like many others in the city of Addis Ababa. A rigorous analysis has identified the main issues of the existing malls in the city, which are commonly built using glazing structures. As a result, the buildings suffer uncomfortable thermal conditions and over-illumination in the interiors. The observation of the Old Mercato, the largest open air market in Africa, was an inspiration to redefine the program of the building, conceiving a multistory contemporary market instead of a conventional shopping mall based on large shops.

雕刻的体积连接了两条平行的街道，这两条街道定义了项目的情节。这种对角线连接为行人创造了一条捷径，并集中了建筑物的所有入口。这条路延伸到大楼中间的斜面中庭，在那里所有的楼层都是相连的。围绕着这一空隙，在每一层都放置了不同的小商店布局。

The carved volume connects two parallel streets that define the plot of the project. This diagonal connection creates a shortcut for pedestrians and concentrates all the entrances of the building. This path extends to the inclined atrium in the middle of the building, where all floors are connected. Around this void, a different layout of small shops is placed in each floor.

这座建筑的表皮是根据当地的气候条件和传统来设计的。立面起到防晒的作用，控制室内空间的自然光和通风。它是用轻质混凝土预制系统建造的，形状来源于当地织物中常见的埃塞俄比亚传统分形图案。被动通风系统和受控制的自然照明创造在建筑物的皮肤和内部中庭使室内空间有一个露天的感觉和平衡的照明。

The skin of the building was designed considering thelocal climate conditions and traditions. The façade acts as a protection from the sun, controlling the natural light and ventilation in the interior spaces. It was built using a lightweight concrete prefab system, and the shapes come from a traditional Ethiopian fractal pattern commonly found in the local fabrics. The passive ventilation system and controlled natural lightening created between the building´s skin and the interior atrium enables the interior space to have an open-air feeling and balanced illumination.

不断停止供电是埃塞俄比亚面临的主要障碍之一。这个正在发生的问题变成了一个机会，把圆形的光伏雨伞放在屋顶，创造了良好的阴影娱乐区。

Constantly ceased power supply is one of the main obstacles Ethiopia is facing. This occurring problem was turned into an opportunity by placing circular shaped photovoltaic umbrellas in the rooftop that create nice shaded entertainment areas.

屋顶还起到雨水收集系统的作用，将雨水排放并储存在地下室的水箱中，然后经过过滤过程，再用于建造厕所和水龙头。

The roof also functions as a rainwater collection system by draining and storing the rainwater in the basement tanks, which later goes through a filtration process to be reused for building´s toilets and taps.
