DIÉBÉDO FRANCIS KÉRÉ's APPROACH COMBINING TECHNOLOGIES AND LOCAL MATERIALS
Text: Cersaie

World-famous architect Diébédo Francis Kéré, founder of the practice Kéré Architecture, will be taking part in the Cersaie 2017 “building, dwelling, thinking” programme with a conference held in the Architecture Gallery (Gallery 21/22) at 4.00 p.m. on Thursday 28 September. 
Born in Gando in Burkina Faso, Kéré was awarded a scholarship to apprentice in Germany, where he went on to earn a university degree in architecture and engineering. In parallel with his studies, he founded the Kéré Foundation (formerly Schulbausteine für Gando e.V.) to fund the construction of the Gando Primary School, which won the prestigious Aga Khan Award in 2001. Kéré continues to reinvest knowledge back into Burkina Faso and sites across four different continents. He has developed innovative construction strategies that combine traditional materials and building techniques with modern engineering methods. Since founding Kéré Architecture in 2005, his work has won numerous prestigious awards such as the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, BSI Swiss Architectural Award, Marcus Prize, Global Holcim Gold Award, and Schelling Architecture Award.

The project for Gando Primary School was completed in July 2004. It is based on design principles that ensure climatic comfort and cut costs by exploiting local materials and the potential of the village community. Subsequent projects included houses for primary school teachers, an extension of the primary school, the Dano secondary school, renovation of the National Park of Mali in Bamako and the Centre for Earth Architecture in Mopti, Mali. Mario Botta, chairman of the jury of the BSI Swiss Architectural Award, described his architecture as essential and intelligent, noting how it actively engages the local community in improving living conditions in a poor country like Burkina Faso.

Kéré was also chosen to design the 2017 summer pavilion of the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens, London. The design is inspired by the trees of the architect’s native village in Burkina Faso and brings visitors into constant contact with the surrounding gardens. Like every year, the Serpentine Pavilion hosted people, events and performances as well as the gallery’s summer programme. In the evening it was transformed into an enormous illuminated lantern, a kind of microcosm that fuses cultural references of Burkina Faso with experimental construction techniques.

Kéré was granted the honour of chartered membership of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 2009 and honorary fellowship of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) in 2012. He has held professorships at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland. He recently received the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial award in architecture, an accolade that is granted each year by the American Academy of Arts and Letters for significant contributions to architecture as an art form.

Text: Cersaie
Biblioteca Publica
Internationally acclaimed Chilean architect Sebastián Irarrázaval is one of the guests in Cersaie’s “building, dwelling, thinking” cultural programme which each year hosts big international names from the world of architecture. He will give a conference at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday 26 September in the Architecture Gallery (Gallery 21/22), which will take the form of a discussion with Professor Francesco Dal Co.
Sebastián Irarrázaval was born in Santiago de Chile in 1967. After graduating from the Catholic University of Chile, he was appointed Professor at the university in 1994 and since then has combined his professional work with teaching and research activities. He has held visiting professorships at several universities, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston (MIT) and the University Architecture School of Venice (IUAV).

His projects fully reflect the new wave of contemporary Chilean and Latin American architecture, one of his most iconic creations being the original Caterpillar House (or Casa Oruga), built for an art collector outside Santiago. Standing on a hillside in the Andes mountains, the house consists of five 40-foot containers, six 20-foot containers and one 40-foot open-top container converted into a swimming pool.

He has won numerous international awards, including the AOA (Asociación de Oficinas de Arquitectura de Chile) award in 1999 as best young architect, and has represented Chile three times at the Venice Biennale. In 2012 he won the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture award. In 2014 and 2015 he was granted an award by the University School of Architecture of Venice as part of the WAVE workshops.
He recently received an honourable mention in the “Wood Design and Building Awards” for his project for the Municipal Library in Constitución, built following the destruction of the city in the devastating earthquake of 2010. The project was also nominated for the Mies Crown Hall Americas award together with the project for the Pabellón Valparaíso, built to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Architecture School of the Catholic University of Chile.

Sebastian Irarrázaval is also engaged in activities combining architecture with other artistic disciplines. He has designed a number of theatre stage sets and a few months ago collaborated with the Scottish rock band Travis on the sixth chapter of the Insigne Sesiones, a popular series of live web sessions combining music, architecture and landscape.

Internationally acclaimed Australian architect Sean Godsell is one of the guests at this year’s Cersaie. Renowned for his residential work focusing on humans and the environment, he will give a conference at 4.00 p.m. on Tuesday 26 September in the Architecture Gallery (Gallery 21/22), where he will discuss his projects with Professor Francesco Dal Co.
Sean Godsell’s essential architecture integrates perfectly with the surrounding context. His interests span both Australian culture and Chinese architecture with its focus on fluid, essential spaces. In his projects, Godsell explores a dwelling concept focused on people’s relationship with the land and nature.

Sean Godsell was born in Melbourne in 1960 and graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1984. He then moved to London, where he worked for Sir Denys Lasdun until 1988. In 1994 he founded Godsell Associates Pty Ltd Architects. He obtained a Masters of Architecture degree from RMIT University in 1999 entitled “The Appropriateness of the Contemporary Australian Dwelling”. His work has been published in the world’s leading architectural journals. In 2002 the design magazine Wallpaper listed him as one of ten people destined to “change the way we live” and in 2005 Time Magazine named him in the “Who’s Who - The New Contemporaries” section of their Style and Design supplement.
He has lectured in the USA, UK, China, Japan, India, France and New Zealand as well as across Australia. In 2003 he received a Citation from the President of the American Institute of Architects for his work for the homeless. His Future Shack prototype was exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute’s Cooper Hewitt Design Museum in New York.

He has received numerous local and international awards. In 2006 he received the Victorian Premier’s Design Award and the RAIA Robin Boyd Award and in 2007 he was granted the Cappochin residential architecture award in Italy. In 2007 he won the Chicago Athenaeum award in the USA, then in 2008 he was a finalist in the Wallpaper International Design Awards and a recipient of his second AIA Record Houses Award for Excellence. In 2012 he was shortlisted to design the new Australian Pavilion in Venice, Italy. In July 2013 he was visiting professor at the IUAV WAVE workshop in Venice and delivered the UNESCO chair open lecture at Mantova Architettura.
