Abstract
The study is based on the material from an experiment on the renovation of a historical heritage complex in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The unique properties of rock architecture of churches created in the structure of rocky massifs, starting from the X and XI centuries, are supplemented by the specifi c character of folk construction of adjacent sett lements, using the technology of earthen structures. An important factor in the ongoing experiment to study the complex and (also to)build a hotel, the object of a developing tourist infrastructure, is the careful study of traditional technologies and environmental aspects, including climatic characteristics of the area, sources of energy supply, and relationships with the local community.
