https://samfoxschool.wustl.edu/calendar/events/589-lecture-francis-kere2022 Pritzker Prize-winning architect Francis Kéré will discuss his work as part of the Sam Fox School’s spring public lecture series.
Born in Burkina Faso, Kéré studied carpentry and architecture in Berlin, where he established his studio in 2005. Known for inventive civic buildings, particularly schools, the firm employs both local labor and eco-friendly, locally sourced materials, such as clay and eucalyptus wood.
Kéré’s talk is presented in conjunction with the 111th annual meeting of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, hosted by WashU’s Sam Fox School beginning March 30.
