This African brother not only made Black Africa proud but he also makes us (African descendants) in the diaspora proud as well. Well done Mr. Diebedo Francis Kere.

Kere, doesn't follow- he leads! And he leads through his wisdom, by staying connected to his roots, to the earth. And that's the reason, his works are so alive and always evolving, like nature itself. Thank you putting up this video on Kere. He is inspirational! 👍🏻

I like how he matches the colour of the building to the natural colour of the soil . Using bright colour for example in Kenya makes the buildings look old when rain pours and soil splashes on the walls.

What a magical architect and an inspiration to me as an architect from Kenya

I love that despite being an internationally employed architect, his work seems to be directed to being experienced by everyone. It's rooted instead of grandiose.

The most interesting thing about his work is the involvement of the community, I mean imagine the space you are using that you have built.

Your ancestry created extremely beautiful artifacts which even caught the eyes of European colonists who stole them. This show how talented we are in creativity. So embrace architecture and take it to a higher level with an African twist

Mr. Kere is a miracle, full of ideas, using local material, congratulations to him and his work!

Was so happy to learn Kéré got Pritzker, he deserves it at the highest level

Burkinabé must be drinking magical water. How can a people give us a Thomas Sankara AND Francis Kéré?

This great architect from Kenya deserved the Pritzker Award ! Awesome, indigenous, functional, beautiful!

BELOVED HE HAS MADE HUMANITY PROUD. HIS WORK LEAVES US SPEECHLESS

The way Kere uses locally sourced materials, updates traditional building methodologies, and brings people of the community together to participate in the construction of his projects is quite visionary. His works undoubtedly become a huge source of local pride. Especially endearing is that many of his projects are designed for children. Perhaps some of them will find his works inspire them to study architecture.

Breathtaking.

Africa is the future.

Mindblowing architecture 😍

I'm so proud of you Francis 👏💓and a good sound that you're from Africa 🌍❤

now my favorite architect

Sorprendente, colorido, práctico, en armonía con el entorno natural y cultural!!! Gracias que belleza!!!

Wonderful ! thank you 🤗 ! Personally , I don't like so much the projects witch much color ... But his shape simple are beautiful and fonctionnel , he is a "Great personality " 🤩

Tremendo arquitecto, diseño con la gente y para la gente. Felicitaciones 💐

There are great architects that are unknown. Just like the architects of ancient buildings.

What an inspirational figure !! I saw a couple of his interviews talking about his projects and his sensibility is unmatched.. A pride to both Burkina Faso and Africa. Much love from an architecture student from Tunisia.

BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS

Espectacular, arquitectura con sentido, lo mejor que he podido ver

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.

Such beautiful and innovative designs that define the people of the Motherland. Kere is an inspiration for the entire globe to enrich their knowledge and desire for Indiginous architecture. My nephew is a budding architect. I'm turning him on to this genius unless he already knows about him.😅 Thanks for the exposure Mr. Kere!

Wow! Great work.,

It's amazing, humane and valuable

beautiful

Proud of you. God has greatly gifted you.

been in a space that you built and is low cost yet you enjoy all amenities. 👏👏

Amazing, what an inspiration!

2022 fue un año de resarcimiento y ruptura, de vuelta a la raíz arquitectónica, he sido tan feliz de pensar que quizás el planeta tendría una oportunidad. Que no seguiríamos la línea de mega estructuras inhabitables, que dejasen una huella en nuestro entorno de forma indeleble. Como si la Arquitectura fuese arte y no oficio al servicio del hombre. Fue un momento sublime ver Bioconstrución, mimetización con el entorno, trabajo comunitario y empleo de material artesano y local en cada obra. Adiós Keré, no te preocupes, tus huellas han calado hondo en los jóvenes corazones que proyectarán el futuro.

Wow! The pavilion looks like the design for the Jamaica House of Parliament building, called abuntu!!

So afrofuturistic ! Love it !!

Bravissimo ... l like your works.

More than a genious,!

Incredible Man

Respect to Diebedo... 👊🏾👍🏾 genius artistry

Am so proud him

Wow. So Gorgeous.

Awesome video! Hats off to your hard work 👏🙌

Thank you for sharing Keres work.

Bravo Diebedo 🌺

Great video. Well done

I liked some of the designs in theory but the coordinates seems to be off as with most people. Like the residential area - built all out in center. Each house is individual and should have been placed on lots taking taking the physical environment in consideration. Then leaving space between areas designing for instance in increments of 12 block increments with each area having its own uniqueness. If the house built on lots you can build over time with each family having their privacy. Thanks for letting me share. You know the floors. Would you consider designing floors off the ground.

Thanks!

Mr Kere must produce other architects. Each one teach one can spread your talent and improve the outlook of our infrastructure. Ecowas and Africa is proud of you

2nd (Second) is interesting self containing heat cool house.

I would say you are a genius. May God bless you and your people

Amazing! More videos please

He shows what can be done by all cultures of the world once Greed is put out of the equation.

Coffee Table Book on his architexture!

So subjective!!

I don't understand why Architect Laurie Baker wasn't awarded the Pritzker

Vivienda digna !

This is serious ...

A big fear is that Africa is letting China buy so much and influence what goes on with land resources. I hope that African architects and builders will innovate with the materials and skills that they have.

Governor pritzker will do anything for the black vote.did the other architects even have a chance?

" A prayer to go to HEAVEN " John 3:36 kjv Lord I am a sinner and I believe that JESUS died on the cross for my sins. Buried afterwards, then rose from the dead. Read Luke 23:42-43 in your Bible Time is running out !

Tomorrow, they'll say it not made by a black man but n allien😂😂😂😂

Deep love!! Amazing...

Please can i have the email of francis as i would like to use his design . but he is the best person to explain to me Thank you

Refreshing to not see westerners rewarding only their own cultures. Great Kere!!!
