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! 👍🏻
@@aodhanofailain Mr Kéré’s work needs to be taught in all Western schools of architecture.. they already has.. but Kéré’s concept is not new.. in the far east its a thousand years old already..
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.
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.
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.
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
@@ChampChamp2024Actually...African traditional architecture was never confined to mudhuts...look up the images of the following:traditional bamum architecture, traditional akan architecture, traditional hausa architecture,traditional kotoko Kingdom architecture,traditional Malian architecture...huts...most people would decorate their huts...an example is ...traditional Ndebele architecture...and there are extras...I find it rather concerning that we have Google and people still insist on being ignorant
Same with Ethiopians...traditional aksumite architecture,traditional zagwe architecture and traditional Ethiopian bamboo houses are all very african and Ethiopian...same with swahili architecture...which has morphed a lot over the years...initially,it was huts...then homes made of local coral limestone then homes that are found in...old mombasa town...to homes that look like tropical resorts eg naomi Campbell's home in malindi...it was hotels that copied the locals
@@ChampChamp2024so...basically,you and the original commenter need to use Google a bit more...European architecture takes heavy influence from the middle east...quite frankly,it should be called middle Eastern architecture
@@faithkerubo8357 cope more, go look up South Africans telling people that Europeans built South Africa. They’re the truth tellers not some person who feels the need to defend a up hill battle
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 " 🤩
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
" 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 !
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.
Dear Sir, thanks a lot for the important summary you gave about Mr. Francis kere projects. I really love his work because as a geologist I also have a very beautiful reddish brown Shaley clay ( I gave it the name of galaxy chocolate) in Saudi Arabia .Can you please send me the mobile number and email of Mr. Francis Kere. Thanks a lot. Bst rgrds.Eng.Omer Yassin.

Glad you liked it :D and agreed
I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. Mr Kéré’s work needs to be taught in all Western schools of architecture.

What a magical architect and an inspiration to me as an architect from Kenya
Mr. Kere is a miracle, full of ideas, using local material, congratulations to him and his work!
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.
BELOVED HE HAS MADE HUMANITY PROUD. HIS WORK LEAVES US SPEECHLESS
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.
Was so happy to learn Kéré got Pritzker, he deserves it at the highest level
This great architect from Kenya deserved the Pritzker Award ! Awesome, indigenous, functional, beautiful!
He is from Burkina Faso, west Africa.

Caught the eyes of what, mud huts and thought we need to help these people.

Breathtaking.
Mindblowing architecture 😍
Burkinabé must be drinking magical water. How can a people give us a Thomas Sankara AND Francis Kéré?
I'm so proud of you Francis 👏💓and a good sound that you're from Africa 🌍❤

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

It's amazing, humane and valuable
Proud of you. God has greatly gifted you.
So afrofuturistic ! Love it !!
been in a space that you built and is low cost yet you enjoy all amenities. 👏👏
There are great architects that are unknown. Just like the architects of ancient buildings.
Wow! Great work.,
Wow! The pavilion looks like the design for the Jamaica House of Parliament building, called abuntu!!
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.
Not only it is beautiful but also cheap and designed for an increasingly arid and hot planet.
@@TemplarX2 Y hace unas semanas Aravena nos ha apuñalado, con un giro de timón hacia el neoclásico y el más hormigón más...
beautiful
Respect to Diebedo... 👊🏾👍🏾 genius artistry
Thank you for sharing Keres work.

So subjective!!
