Internationally-acclaimed architect, Francis Kéré, started with a simple dream: to build a school in his village in Burkina Faso. In 2022, Kéré became the first African winner of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in the profession. Francine Lacqua speaks to Kéré about his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to the world stage, why sustainable architecture can be both beautiful and affordable, and why he believes the world has become cheap.
