Francis Kéré. Building Stories
type: Product
description: Experience Pritzker Prize winner Francis Kéré’s first-hand perspective on his creative world. A rich selection of unseen sketches, photos, and architectural drawings accompanies original stories of 26 projects, from the Primary School in Gando, Burkina Faso, to the Las Vegas Art Museum, revealing his experimental, communal, and inventive approach. Featured works include his Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, the Gando school projects, national assembly designs for Burkina Faso and Benin, the Thomas Sankara Memorial, and the recently revealed Las Vegas Museum of Art. Kéré’s own voice moves effortlessly between poetry and pragmatism. From the technicalities of cutting bricks on site to the political and environmental forces shaping his designs, he delights in both hands-on craft and big thinking. One chapter subtitle—How to funnel imagination into the grid of rules (without preventing it from flying)—says it all. Softcover, 7.5 x 10.0 in., 2.59 lb, 444 pages
