More than almost any other architect, Diébédo Francis Keré (*1965 in Burkina Faso) represents the convergence of constructive, social, and cultural aspects of building. He has received numerous international prizes for the projects he has realized in his native country Burkina Faso, includingthe Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004. Kér?r has furthermore made a name for himself in Germany with his projects for Christoph Schlingensief's Opera Village. In his architecture, Kéré combines the training he received at the technical University of Berlin with traditional African building methods to create an innovative new approach focusing on local, social, and traditional requierements, as well as integrating local communities into the process. High-quality aesthetics hod equal weight with his deep-seated ethical concerns in design. This firs monograph on Kéré's wide-ranging oeuvre provides a unique insight into the work of this extraordinary architect, demosntrating that architecture not only involves a buiding but also people
