Kéré Architecture
Berlín, Alemania
Studio of architect Francis Kéré, born in Burkina Faso and winner of the 2022 Pritzker Prize, based in Berlin. His work begins with the Gando primary school, built with compressed earth blocks and community labour, and extends to facilities in Africa and Europe. He combines local materials — earth, clay, timber — passive ventilation strategies against heat, and community participation. His architecture demonstrates how modest resources and low-impact techniques can produce dignified, long-lasting buildings.
