“Can you imagine？”Diébédo Francis Kéré said to NPR，“I was born in Burkina Faso，a
little village where there was no my father wanted me to learn how to read and write
very simply because then I could translate or read him his letters.”
The first Black winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize was as surprised as anyone else to be
selected for the field’s most famous architects had openly supposed that 2022 would
be Sir David Adjaye’s year，who is best known for designing notable buildings as the Nobel
Peace Center in Norway.Kéré，who is based in Berlin but centers much of his practice in Africa，
has been—until now—far lesser known，with buildings that include primary schools and a
healthcare clinic.
When he was twenty，in 1985，Kéré earned a scholarship to study carpentry in he
also attended night school and was admitted to Technische Universität Berlin，from which he
graduated in 2004 with an advanced degree in was still a student when he designed
and built the innovative Gando Primary School.
Kéré’s architectural practice was inspired by his own experience attending school with
around 100 other children in a region with temperatures over 100 F．“It’s very hot
there was no light，while outside，the sunlight was abundant.I think，one day I should make it
better.I was thinking about space，about room，about how I could feel better.”
In his designs for Gando Primary School and Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School，Kéré
drew on traditional building materials such as local clay mixed with concrete，and emphasized
shade and shadows，making spaces bright enough and letting air in，and thus reducing the need for
air wanted the buildings to evoke the sense of an oasis(绿洲)，a place for many
children，to be happy and learn how to read and write.
