Internationally-acclaimed architect, Francis Kéré, started with a simple dream: to build a school in his village in Burkina Faso. In 2022, Kéré became the first African winner of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in the profession. Francine Lacqua speaks to Kéré about his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to the world stage, why sustainable architecture can be both beautiful and affordable, and why he believes the world has become cheap.

Udo nwanne.. I've of my favorites too. We could use some Kéré inspired architects and engineers in the Igbo community.. Also like Miriam Kamara (Niger)... if we could transition to building schools and housing (maybe some hospitals as well) with mud and natural local materials we could use the money saved to invest in other areas like road infrastructure, agriculture, textiles, etc.

@@Afro_Conservative_Strikes_Back yes, brother. I wish to see our people go back and develop our traditional building styles rather than mindlessly copy European architecture. There are many unique aspects of our architecture that we're missing out on. Moreover, our native architecture is actually best suited for our climate. Thank you for the recommendation, I'll definitely check her out. I'm on the lookout for similar architects.

Thank you, Mr. Francis Kéré, from the land of men and women of integrity. That is the meaning behind the name of his country, Burkina Faso, the country of the legend Thomas Sankara.

Really wish he could come back to Burkina Faso and help build. Maybe work with the government to build schools, cheap housing, hospitals, museums, universities, etc.
