"Bridging the Gap" - Diébédo Francis Kere
"Bridging the Gap" - Diébédo Francis Kere Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 20 Views • 5 years ago

Diébédo Francis Kéré, Architect from Burkina Faso, studied at the „Technische Universität Berlin". He focuses on education as the developing concept for his country, in which he has already built an essential infrastructure.In the focus of Kéré's drafts are the climatic adaptation, low building costs and the self building: "The community needs to be educated how to monitor the climatic circumstances and to use local materials. Only people who take part in the building process can maintain and spread the word about these architectural projects." (1)While he was studying, he founded the association "Schulbausteine für Gando e. V." for the funding of his first project, a Primary School in his native village. The building was finished in 2001 and received the Aga -- Khan -- Award for its exemplarity as well as its concise and elegant architecture using basic, constructive instruments. The school is the result of a vision, initially verbalized by the architect and realised by the community. The jury valued especially the great potential of a project which helps the community to develop a healthy pride and hope and creates at the same time a solid base for its development. The fact that Kéré built a Primary School for Gando exemplifies his commitment for education. To him, education is the foundation for every social, technical and economical development.Meanwhile the Primary School was completed with the Teachers Housing, another school building and a library, so that 900 children can go to school in Gando. Many young men were trained through construction and are now able to find qualified paied work far beyond the region. Diébédo Francis Kéré connects research and experience as a lecturer at the "Technische Universität Berlin" and as an architect in his own office. His research is contributed to the impartial development of strategies for architecture with local character. As an architect he defines himself as "a bridge between cultures, between the technically and economically developed countries of "the north" and the less developed African countries (the south)" (2)(Excerpt from biographical materials provided by the architect.)

Premiered January 10th 2021
"The Shift" is about a major internal and external shift taking place within humanity in the last few decades but predominantly the year 2020. It indicates how we are asking more questions, raising our vibration, meditating more, practicing more patience, empathy, awareness and a radical form of self love never seen before. It also talks about the beginning of a New Age that we have entered in on December 21st 2020, Age of Aquarius. The Information Age. The Age of awakening. We can see the inner and outer transformation happening within our life and we are learning to become more intuned with self and balancing our emotions. We are learning to observe not absorb all the things that get thrown at us in our lifetime. Welcome to The Shift.
