Francis Kéré: Of Clay and Community

2018

However, although acutely mindful of the differences, Kéré has never seen himself as forcibly bridging the gap between the world he came from and the one in which he arrived, instead regarding it as a productive space to work from. He does not switch between contexts in isolation; they are allowed to run alongside each other simultaneously. His architecture is testament to his ability not just to maintain a connection with his remarkable background, but to draw from it continually, with zeal, adaptability, and sociability.
