Architecture & Planning

Kéré Architecture was founded in 2005. Its practice is informed by a dual focus on design excellence and social commitment. Renowned for its restrained elegance of structure, pioneering use of material and an inclination towards building in regions unchartered by much of contemporary architecture, the studio has been the recipient of numerous awards.Kéré Architecture's portfolio spans a wide spectrum of projects from civic infrastructure to temporary installations, from concept to execution and across diverse geographies.At the intersection of utopia and pragmatism we create contemporary architecture that feeds the imagination with an afro-futurist vision. Informed by tradition, our practice explores new modes of construction for which the foundations have long been laid. Innovative uses of local resources and participatory design methods allow us to work beyond the boundaries of most established design practices and shed dominant norms to set our own precedents.
