She received her bachelors degree in architecture from the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Moving to Rome, Italy, she was involved in an archeological excavation in &#8216;Villa Hadriana&#8217; Tivoli, which was organized by Sapienza University. Subsequently she graduated at the University of Roma Tre in &#8216;Arti Architetture Citt\u00e0&#8217; ( Art Architecture &amp; The City). Her master thesis focused on urban dwellers with migration backgrounds. Her work has been exhibited at the Rote Fabric and the Predigerkirche in Z\u00fcrich, as well as the Intercultural Library in Fribourg, Switzerland.\u00a0Prior to joining the ETH, she did a year of internship at the Z\u00fcrich based Architectural office, Birchmeier Uhlmann Rabinovich Architekten. In addition to her work at the ETH Zurich, she is developing a project on fee-based toilet systems along the historical touristic routes of Ethiopia. The project is designed to solve sanitary problems, create knowledge transfer and generate revenues for local communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3152 alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hebel.arch.ethz.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/zara_gray_web-357x537.jpg\" alt=\"zara_gray_web\" height=\"313\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Zara Gray<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Born 1986, South Africa<br \/>\nMaster of Architecture, UCT Cape Town, 2010<br \/>\nLocation: Z\u00fcrich<\/p>\n<p>Researcher at the Chair of Architecture and Construction Dirk E.
