Kéré Architecture is a Berlin-based practice founded by Francis Kéré in 2005, known for its pioneering approach that fuses design innovation with social responsibility. Working at the intersection of architecture, community, and sustainability, the studio redefines building norms through participatory processes, local materials, and climate-responsive solutions. Rooted in tradition yet resolutely forward-looking, Kéré Architecture engages in projects that span civic infrastructure, temporary installations, and conceptual design. From schools in Burkina Faso to international exhibitions and cultural landmarks, the studio’s work embodies a distinctive synthesis of cultural narrative, structural clarity, and environmental attunement. With a portfolio extending across continents, the practice not only builds spaces but also cultivates knowledge and dialogue through research, exhibitions, and teaching—bridging architecture with disciplines like art and technology. Their work consistently demonstrates how architecture can be a tool for empowerment, dignity, and transformation.
