The Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), an exhibit features Francis Kéré, arguably the most influential African architect of his generation. . Diébédo Francis Kéré is a singular figure within the architecture world. Raised in rural Burkina Faso in West Africa, he spent his childhood in traditional mud huts and ramshackle concrete structures. As the eldest son of a village chief, Kéré was given the opportunity to attend school in a nearby city and later won a scholarship to study in Germany, where he earned his architecture degree in 2004. . Today, Kéré runs a small, eponymous studio in Berlin that is focused on creating dignified and sustainable buildings for communities in for communities in Africa and beyond. His distinctive work is the subject of an exhibition on view through September 25 at the Philadelphia Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA). Titled The Architecture of Francis Kéré: Building for Community, the show conveys his inventive approach to constructing schools, health clinics, and housing in remote, poverty-stricken areas using natural materials and local labor. . #art #installation #installations #immersive #immersiveart #immersion #immersiveartgallery #immersiveartist #artistic #architecture #architecturelovers #design #designer #fantasy #space #world #room #expression #imagination #imaginations #imaginationarts #artworld #inspiration #inspire #peace #calm #colour
