Concerned with climate conditions and local contexts, his research in Berlin, at Harvard University, and at the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne is applied to full-size projects in Burkina Faso, where most of his buildings are located.<br \/>\nDi\u00e9b\u00e9do Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9 began building in Burkina Faso in 1999 when he was still a student, designing a primary school, then a secondary school, for his native village of Gando. In 2007 he designed a lyc\u00e9e in Dano, and in 2010 the Centre for Earth Architecture in Mali. He is currently working on the Op\u00e9ra Village project, near Ouagadougou. For Di\u00e9b\u00e9do Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9, each construction must bring technical innovation that affirms the building\u2019s identity, and the act of building is as much an educational development tool as a way of fostering interactions and sharing expertise.With this is mind, K\u00e9r\u00e9 adapts traditional construction techniques from his native land and creates designs whose simplicity, generosity and elegance express a strong sense of modernity.<br \/>\nDesigned and supported by the architect, who is closely involved at every stage, the buildings are constructed by local people: the men, women and children of the village. The building sites become places for experiment where African expertise is used to build intelligently. \u201cMy goal is to bridge the gap between Africa and developed countries, where, in the end, building sustainably turns out to be something we have in common\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s unique designs have been unanimously praised by critics and have been awarded many major international awards, both for their architectural qualities and their social commitment in Burkina Faso. \u2018Help to self-help\u2019 is the guiding principle of Di\u00e9b\u00e9do Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s work.\u2028 Born in Burkina Faso in 1965, he graduated from the Berlin&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8200,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[182,7,3,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8199"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8199"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8874,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8199\/revisions\/8874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meonline.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
