Diébédo Francis Kéré Awarded 2022 Pritzker Architecture Prize ! Born in Burkina Faso, the Berlin-based architect Diébédo Francis Kéré aims to empower and transform marginalized communities through the process of architecture. Kéré chooses projects in countries laden with constraints and adversity. The expression of his works exceeds the value of a building itself. “His cultural sensitivity not only delivers social and environmental justice, but guides his entire process, in the awareness that it is the path towards the legitimacy of a building in a community. He knows, from within, that architecture is not about the object but the objective; not the product, but the process.”- Pritzker Jury Gando Primary School, Gando, Burkina Faso, Serpentine Pavilion, London, Léo Doctors’ Housing, Burkina Faso Arbalé Ke, “the House of Celebration,” Burkina Faso Xylem Pavilion, Montana, United States Burkina Institute of Technology -- source link
