Recent Work by Francis Kéré, Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professor

The internationally acclaimed architect and 2022 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize Francis Kéré garnered critical praise from the beginning of his architectural practice when awarded the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture (2004) for his first ever building - a primary school he designed, raised the funds for, and realized in collaboration with the residents of his native Gando, Burkina Faso.

Kéré has gone on to become one of the most distinguished contemporary architects thanks to his pioneering of a communal approach to design and his commitment to sustainable materials, as well as modes of construction. Inspired by a curiosity for the particularities of any given locality and its social tapestry, he has gathered a diverse, agile team at his Berlin-based Kéré Architecture offices, to take on projects across four continents. Most prominently these include his design for the Burkina Faso National Assembly, the Léo Surgical Clinic & Health Centre (2014) the Lycée Schorge Secondary School (2016) and Xylem (2019), a gathering pavilion for the Tippet Rise Art Center.

Kéré is the Fall 2022 Louis I. Kahn Visiting Professor at the Yale School of Architecture.
