Pritzker）和他的妻子于1979年发起设立普利兹克奖。“是因为我们在世界上建了许多饭店，与规划、设计以及建筑营造有密切的联系，而且我们认识到人们对于建筑艺术的关切实在太少了。作为一个土生土长的芝加哥人，生活在摩天大楼诞生的地方，一座满是像路易斯·沙利文、弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特、路德维希·密斯·凡德罗这样的建筑伟人设计的建筑的城市，我们对建筑的热爱不足为怪。1967年我们买下了一幢尚未竣工的大楼作为我们的亚特兰大凯悦大酒店。它那高挑的中庭成为我们全球酒店集团的一个标志。很明显，这个设计对我们的客人以及员工的情绪有着显著的影响。如果说芝加哥的建筑让我们懂得了建筑艺术，那么从事酒店设计和建设则让我们认识到建筑对人类行为的影响力。因此，在1978年我们想到来表彰一些当代的建筑师。爸爸妈妈相信，设立一个有意义的奖，不仅能够鼓励和刺激公众对建筑的关注，同时能够在建筑界激发更大的创造力。我为能代表母亲和家里其他人为此继续努力而自豪。”普利兹克建筑奖像一架选拔建筑大师的机器，目光犀利，下手精准，绝大多数获奖者的确名副其实。它似乎自成体系，从第一届得主菲利普·约翰逊（1979年）开始，到凯文·罗奇（1982年）、丹下健三（1987年）、雷姆·库哈斯（2000年），勾勒出一条影响深远的现代主义和后现代主义的建筑思潮脉络；它能打破地域偏见，三位日本人和两位拉丁美洲建筑师的入选，显示了评选范围的全球性特征；出生于巴格达的女建筑师扎哈·哈迪德（2004年）的登场，多少弥补了它在性别取向上的一些遗憾；而对弗兰克·盖里（1989年）的关注，足以表明它的前瞻和远见：当时盖里只在美国西海岸做过一些美学冒险性建筑，其一生中最伟大的作品——毕尔巴鄂古根海姆博物馆尚未出现，但后来的事实证明，弗兰克·盖里确实能够为世界创造惊人的建筑。2022年普利兹克奖颁给了非洲建筑师迪埃贝多·弗朗西斯·凯雷（Diébédo Francis Kéré），标志着奖项重新关注被边缘化的建筑实践。 [7]一个奖项之所以伟大，是因为获奖者足够伟大，而这首先要求评委们足够睿智，评选程序足够公正。在短短的几十年时间里，普利兹克建筑奖迅速崛起，获奖者如群星闪耀，风光无限。其声势压过了百年老店英国皇家建筑师学会（RIBA）金奖、奖金更丰厚的日本国家艺术大赏和丹麦嘉士伯奖、重视单个作品的美国建筑师协会（AIA）国家荣誉奖等权威大奖，成为建筑界公认的至高无上的奖项。2022年3月，2022年普利兹克奖揭晓，今年建筑界的最高荣誉奖普利兹克奖授予非洲建筑师迪埃贝多·弗朗西斯·凯雷（Diébédo Francis Kéré）。这是普利兹克奖历史上首次授予非洲建筑师，标志着奖项重新关注此前被边缘化了的建筑实践，这也许意味着西方建筑学本身的重大转向。 [10]奖章结构播报编辑普利兹克建筑奖在许多程序上以及奖金方面参照了诺贝尔奖。获奖者被授予10万美元奖金、一份证书和一个铜制奖章（从1987年起，在1987年之前用的是限量发行的亨利·摩尔的雕像）。由美国总统颁奖并致辞，在享有盛名的建筑物如白宫、古根海姆美术馆等地方举办颁奖会，印制刊物并举办巡回各国的得奖作品展。奖章正面图案的设计是芝加哥著名建筑师路易斯·沙利文的设计为基础，刻有“The Pritzker Architecture Prize”（普利兹克建筑奖）字样，获奖者的姓名刻在奖章正中，奖章背面刻着亨利·沃顿1624年在其《建筑的要素》一书中提出的建筑的三个基本条件：“坚固、实用、愉悦”。评审制度播报编辑普利兹克建筑奖独立评审委员会的专家评委人数为5至9人，负责评选出每年的普利兹克建筑奖获奖者。评审委员会的评委均任职若干年，以确保委员会的新成员和老成员的数量平衡。普利兹克家族的成员和外界的观察家均不出席。通常于每年最初几个月举行的委员会评审，评委会的成员均是各自所在领域公认的专业人士，这些领域包括建筑、商业、教育、出版业和文化。任何国家的任何人，无论是政府官员，还是作家、批评家、学者、建筑师、建筑团体、实业家，只要有志于发展建筑学，都可以被提名为候选人。普利兹克奖无任何国家、种族、信仰和意识形态偏见。提名程序每年从年初到年末，截至次年1月，期后收到的提名自动被视作下一年度的提名。每年有40多个国家的500多位候选人被提名。普利兹克建筑奖的国际评委会参照诺贝尔奖的评选方式，由全球著名的权威建筑设计师、作家、艺术家、学者、批评家以及像前IBM主席这样的国际工商名流等组成的评委会经过深思熟虑，最后通过无记名投票的方式来决定最终评选结果。普利兹克奖图册(1张)普利兹克奖图册(1张)普利兹克奖图册(1张)获奖名单播报编辑普利兹克奖自1979年首次颁发至2021年共授予了50位建筑艺术家。对于建筑师而言，获奖意味着至高无上的终身成就和荣誉。年份届次获奖者国籍19791菲利普·约翰逊Philip Johnson美国19802路易斯·巴拉甘Luis Barragán墨西哥19813詹姆斯·斯特林James Stirling英国19824凯文·洛奇Kevin Roche美国19835贝聿铭Ieoh Ming Pei美国19846理查德·迈耶Richard Meier美国19857汉斯·霍莱因Hans Hollein奥地利19868戈特弗里德·玻姆Gottfried Boehm德国19879丹下健三Kenzo Tange日本198810戈登·邦夏Gordon Bunshaft美国奥斯卡·尼迈耶Oscar Niemeyer巴西198911弗兰克·盖里Frank O.

Purpose
To honor a living architect or architects whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision, and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.
The international prize, which is awarded each year to a living architect/s for significant achievement, was established by the Pritzker family of Chicago through their Hyatt Foundation in 1979. It is granted annually and is often referred to as “architecture’s Nobel” and “the profession’s highest honor.”
The award consists of $100,000 (US) and a bronze medallion. The award is conferred on the laureate/s at a ceremony held at an architecturally significant site throughout the world.

History
Jay and Cindy Pritzker believed that a meaningful prize would encourage and stimulate not only a greater public awareness of buildings but also would inspire greater creativity within the architectural profession.
The prize takes its name from the Pritzker family, whose international business interests are headquartered in Chicago. Their name is synonymous with Hyatt Hotels located throughout the world. The Pritzkers have long been known for their support of educational, scientific, medical, and cultural activities. Jay A. Pritzker, (1922-1999), founded the prize with his wife, Cindy. His eldest son, Tom Pritzker, the Chairman and President of Hyatt Foundation, explains, “As native Chicagoans, it’s not surprising that our family was keenly aware of architecture, living in the birthplace of the skyscraper, a city filled with buildings designed by architectural legends such as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and many others.”
He continues, “In 1967, we acquired an unfinished building which was to become the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. Its soaring atrium was wildly successful and became the signature piece of our hotels around the world. It was immediately apparent that this design had a pronounced effect on the mood of our guests and attitude of our employees. While the architecture of Chicago made us cognizant of the art of architecture, our work with designing and building hotels made us aware of the impact architecture could have on human behavior. So in 1978, when we were approached with the idea of honoring living architects, we were responsive. Mom and Dad (Cindy and the late Jay A. Pritzker) believed that a meaningful prize would encourage and stimulate not only a greater public awareness of buildings but also would inspire greater creativity within the architectural profession.”
Many of the procedures and rewards of the Pritzker Prize are modeled after the Nobel Prize. Laureates of the Pritzker Architecture Prize receive a $100,000 grant, a formal citation certificate, and since 1987, a bronze medallion. Prior to that year, a limited edition Henry Moore sculpture was presented to each Laureate.

Ceremony
The official ceremony granting the award takes place every year, usually in May, at an architecturally significant site throughout the world. The choice of location of the ceremony reinforces the importance of the built environment while providing a unique setting for the ceremony. The presentation ceremonies move around the world each year, paying homage to the architecture of other eras and/or works by previous laureates of the prize. As the ceremony locations are usually chosen each year before the laureate is selected, there is no intended connection between the two.
The invitation-only event is attended by international guests and guests from the host country. The ceremony itself normally consists of welcoming remarks usually from a dignitary of the host country; comments from the jury chairman; the presentation of the prize by Tom Pritzker; and an acceptance speech from the Laureate.
Special ceremony videos have been created since 2020 to allow an unlimited international audience participate in the honoring of each Laureate by viewing full ceremony remarks and additional insights from past Laureates and Jurors.
The laureate receives $100,000 and also a bronze medallion. The bronze medallion awarded to each Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is based on designs of Louis Sullivan, famed Chicago architect generally acknowledged as the father of the skyscraper. On one side is the name of the prize. On the reverse, three words are inscribed, “firmness, commodity and delight,” recalling Roman architect Vitruvius' fundamental principles of architecture of firmitas, utilitas, venustas.

While the architecture of Chicago made us cognizant of the art of architecture, our work with designing and building hotels made us aware of the impact architecture could have on human behavior. So in 1978, when we were approached with the idea of honoring living architects, we were responsive. Mom and Dad (Cindy and the late Jay A. Pritzker) believed that a meaningful prize would encourage and stimulate not only a greater public awareness of buildings but also would inspire greater creativity within the architectural profession.”
Many of the procedures and rewards of the Pritzker Prize are modeled after the Nobel Prize. Laureates of the Pritzker Architecture Prize receive a $100,000 grant, a formal citation certificate, and since 1987, a bronze medallion. Prior to that year, a limited edition Henry Moore sculpture was presented to each Laureate.

Ceremony
The official ceremony granting the award takes place every year, usually in May, at an architecturally significant site throughout the world. The choice of location of the ceremony reinforces the importance of the built environment while providing a unique setting for the ceremony. The presentation ceremonies move around the world each year, paying homage to the architecture of other eras and/or works by previous laureates of the prize. As the ceremony locations are usually chosen each year before the laureate is selected, there is no intended connection between the two.
The invitation-only event is attended by international guests and guests from the host country. The ceremony itself normally consists of welcoming remarks usually from a dignitary of the host country; comments from the jury chairman; the presentation of the prize by Tom Pritzker; and an acceptance speech from the Laureate.
Special ceremony videos have been created since 2020 to allow an unlimited international audience participate in the honoring of each Laureate by viewing full ceremony remarks and additional insights from past Laureates and Jurors.
The laureate receives $100,000 and also a bronze medallion. The bronze medallion awarded to each Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize is based on designs of Louis Sullivan, famed Chicago architect generally acknowledged as the father of the skyscraper. On one side is the name of the prize. On the reverse, three words are inscribed, “firmness, commodity and delight,” recalling Roman architect Vitruvius' fundamental principles of architecture of firmitas, utilitas, venustas.

Francis Kéré (b. Diébédo Francis Kéré, 1965) was born in Burkina Faso - one of the world’s least educated and most impoverished nations, a land void of clean drinking water, electricity and infrastructure, let alone architecture.
“I grew up in a community where there was no kindergarten, but where community was your family. Everyone took care of you and the entire village was your playground. My days were filled with securing food and water, but also simply being together, talking together, building houses together. I remember the room where my grandmother would sit and tell stories with a little light, while we would huddle close to each other and her voice inside the room enclosed us, summoning us to come closer and form a safe place. This was my first sense of architecture.”

Kéré was the oldest son of the village chief and the first in his community to attend school, only the city of Gando didn’t have a school, so he left his family at the age of seven. His small childhood classroom in Tenkodogo was constructed of cement blocks and lacked ventilation and light. Trapped in that extreme climate with over one hundred classmates for hours at a time, he vowed to one day make schools better.
“Good architecture in Burkina Faso is a classroom where you can sit, have light that is filtered, entering the way that you want to use it, across a blackboard or on a desk. How can we take away the heat coming from the sun, but use the light to our benefit? Creating climate conditions to give basic comfort allows for true teaching, learning and excitement.”

In 1985, he uprooted again, this time, much further from home, traveling to Berlin on a vocational carpentry scholarship, learning to make roofs and furniture by day, while attending secondary classes at night. He was awarded a scholarship to attend Technische Universität Berlin (Berlin, Germany) in 1995, graduating in 2004 with an advanced degree in architecture.
Although far from Burkina Faso, Kéré’s mind never strayed from his native homeland. He recognized the responsibility of his privilege, establishing the foundation “Schulbausteine für Gando e.V.”, translated to “school building blocks for Gando” and later renamed Kéré Foundation e.V., in 1998 to fundraise and advocate for a child’s right to a comfortable classroom. His first building, Gando Primary School (2001, Gando, Burkina Faso), was built by and for the people of Gando. Locals offered their input, labor and resources from conception to completion, crafting nearly every part of the school by hand, guided by the architect’s inventive forms of indigenous materials and modern engineering.

The success of Gando Primary School awarded him the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004, and was the catalyst for establishing his practice, Kéré Architecture, in Berlin, Germany in 2005. The realization of additional primary, secondary, postsecondary and medical facilities soon followed throughout Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mozambique and Uganda. Kéré’s built works in Africa have yielded exponential results, not only by providing academic education for children and medical treatment for the unwell, but by instilling occupational opportunities and abiding vocational skills for adults, therefore serving and stabilizing the future of entire communities.
With each trip back to Gando, Kéré has bestowed purposeful ideas, technical knowledge, environmental understanding and aesthetic solutions, but his service to humanity through cultural sensitivity, process of engagement and devotion proves as a constant example of generosity to the world. “I considered my work a private task, a duty to this community. But every person can take the time to go and investigate from things that are existing. We have to fight to create the quality that we need to improve people’s lives.”

His work has expanded beyond school buildings in African countries to include temporary and permanent structures in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Two historic parliament buildings, the National Assembly of Burkina Faso (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso) and Benin National Assembly (Porto-Novo, Republic of Benin), have been commissioned, with the latter currently under construction.
Additional awards include the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine’s Global Award for Sustainable Architecture (2009), BSI Swiss Architectural Award (2010); the Global Holcim Awards Gold (2012, Zurich, Switzerland), Schelling Architecture Award (2014); Arnold W Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts & Letters (2017); and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal in Architecture (2021).
The architect has been a visiting professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (Massachusetts, United States), Yale School of Architecture (Connecticut, United States), and holds the inaugural Chair of Architectural Design and Participation professorship at the Technische Universität München (Munich, Germany) since 2017. He is an Honorary Fellow of Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (2018) and the American Institute of Architects (2012) and a chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (2009).
Kéré is a dual citizen of Burkina Faso and Germany and spends his time professionally and personally equally in both countries.

Diébédo Francis Kéré Receives the 2022 Pritzker Architecture Prize
Chicago, IL (March 15, 2022) – Diébédo Francis Kéré, architect, educator and social activist, has been selected as the 2022 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, announced Tom Pritzker, Chairman of The Hyatt Foundation, which sponsors the award that is regarded internationally as architecture’s highest honor.
“I am hoping to change the paradigm, push people to dream and undergo risk. It is not because you are rich that you should waste material. It is not because you are poor that you should not try to create quality,” says Kéré. “Everyone deserves quality, everyone deserves luxury, and everyone deserves comfort. We are interlinked and concerns in climate, democracy and scarcity are concerns for us all.”
Born in Gando, Burkina Faso and based in Berlin, Germany, the architect known as Francis Kéré empowers and transforms communities through the process of architecture. Through his commitment to social justice and engagement, and intelligent use of local materials to connect and respond to the natural climate, he works in marginalized countries laden with constraints and adversity, where architecture and infrastructure are absent. Building contemporary school institutions, health facilities, professional housing, civic buildings and public spaces, oftentimes in lands where resources are fragile and fellowship is vital, the expression of his works exceeds the value of a building itself.

“Francis Kéré is pioneering architecture - sustainable to the earth and its inhabitants – in lands of extreme scarcity. He is equally architect and servant, improving upon the lives and experiences of countless citizens in a region of the world that is at times forgotten,” comments Pritzker. “Through buildings that demonstrate beauty, modesty, boldness and invention, and by the integrity of his architecture and geste, Kéré gracefully upholds the mission of this Prize.”
Gando Primary School (2001, Gando, Burkina Faso) established the foundation for Kéré’s ideology– building a wellspring with and for a community to fulfill an essential need and redeem social inequities. His response required a dual solution – a physical and contemporary design for a facility that could combat extreme heat and poor lighting conditions with limited resources, and a social resoluteness to overcome incertitude from within the community. He fundraised internationally, while creating invariable opportunities for local citizens, from conception to vocational craftsmanship training. Indigenous clay was fortified with cement to form bricks with bioclimatic thermal mass, retaining cooler air inside while allowing heat to escape through a brick ceiling and wide, overhanging, elevated roof, resulting in ventilation without the mechanical intervention of air conditioning. The success of this project increased the school’s student body from 120 to 700 students, and catalyzed Teachers’ Housing (2004, Gando, Burkina Faso), an Extension (2008, Gando, Burkina Faso) and Library (2019, Gando, Burkina Faso).
The 2022 Jury Citation states, in part, “He knows, from within, that architecture is not about the object but the objective; not the product, but the process. Francis Kéré’s entire body of work shows us the power of materiality rooted in place. His buildings, for and with communities, are directly of those communities – in their making, their materials, their programs and their unique characters.”

The impact of his work in primary and secondary schools catalyzed the inception of many institutions, each demonstrating sensitivity to bioclimatic environments and sustainability distinctive to locality, and impacting many generations. Startup Lions Campus (2021, Turkana, Kenya), an information and communication technologies campus, uses local quarry stone and stacked towers for passive cooling to minimize the air conditioning required to protect technology equipment. Burkina Institute of Technology (Phase I, 2020, Koudougou, Burkina Faso) is composed of cooling clay walls that were cast in-situ to accelerate the building process. Overhanging eucalyptus, regarded as inefficient due to its minimal shading abilities yet depletion of nutrients from the soil, were repurposed to line the angled corrugated metal roofs, which protect the building during the country’s brief rainy reason, and rainwater is collected underground to irrigate mango plantations on the premises.

The national confidence and embrace of Kéré has prompted one of the architect’s most pivotal and ambitious projects, the National Assembly of Burkina Faso (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso), which was commissioned, although remains unbuilt amidst present uncertain times. After the Burkinabè uprising in 2014 destroyed the former structure, the architect designed a stepped and lattice pyramidal building, housing a 127-person assembly hall on the interior, while encouraging informal congregation on the exterior. Enabling new views, physically and metaphorically, this is one piece to a greater master plan, envisioned to include indigenous flora, exhibition spaces, courtyards, and a monument to those who lost their lives in protest of the old regime.
A poetic expression of light is consistent throughout Kéré’s works. Rays of sun filter into buildings, courtyards and intermediary spaces, overcoming harsh midday conditions to offer places of serenity or gathering. The concrete roof of Gando Primary School Library was poured around a grid of traditional clay pots, that once extracted, left openings allowing heat to escape while circular beams of natural light could linger and illuminate the interiors. A facade constructed of eucalyptus wood surrounds the elliptical building, creating flexible outdoor spaces that emit light vertically. Benga Riverside School (2018, Tete, Mozambique) features walls patterned with small recurring voids, allowing light and transparency to evoke feelings of trust from its students. The walls of Centre for Health and Social Welfare (2014, Laongo, Burkina Faso) are adorned with a pattern of framed windows at varying heights to offer picturesque views of the landscape for everyone, from a standing doctor to a sitting visitor to a lying patient.
The Citation continues, “In a world in crisis, amidst changing values and generations, he reminds us of what has been, and will undoubtably continue to be a cornerstone of architectural practice: a sense of community and narrative quality, which he himself is so able to recount with compassion and pride. In this he provides a narrative in which architecture can become a source of continued and lasting happiness and joy.”

Kéré’s designs are laced with symbolism and his works outside of Africa are influenced by his upbringing and experiences in Gando. The West African tradition of communing under a sacred tree to exchange ideas, narrate stories, celebrate and assemble, is recurrent throughout. Sarbalé Ke at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (2019, California, United States) translates to “House of Celebration” in his native Bissa language, and references the shape of the hollowing baobab tree, revered in his homeland for its medicinal properties. The Serpentine Pavilion (2017, London, United Kingdom) also takes its central shape from the form of a tree and its disconnected yet curved walls are formed by triangular indigo modules, identifying with a color representing strength in his culture and more personally, a blue boubou garment worn by the architect as a child. The detached roof resonates with that of his buildings in Africa, but inside the pavilion, rainwater funnels into the center of the structure, highlighting water scarcity that is experienced worldwide. The Benin National Assembly (Porto-Novo, Republic of Benin), currently under construction and situated on a public park, is inspired by the palaver tree. While parliament convenes on the inside, citizens may also assemble under the vast shade at the base of the building.
Many of Kéré’s built works are located in Africa, in countries including the Republic of Benin, Burkino Faso, Mali, Togo, Kenya, Mozambique, Togo, and Sudan. Pavilions and installations and have been created in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Significant works also include Xylem at Tippet Rise Art Centre (2019, Montana, United States), Léo Doctors’ Housing (2019, Léo, Burkina Faso), Lycée Schorge Secondary School (2016, Koudougou, Burkina Faso), the National Park of Mali (2010, Bamako, Mali) and Opera Village (Phase I, 2010, Laongo, Burkina Faso).
Kéré established Kéré Foundation in 1998 to serve the inhabitants of Gando through the development of projects, partnerships and fundraising; and Kéré Architecture in 2005 in Berlin, Germany. Kéré is the 51st Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, and is a dual citizen of Burkina Faso and Germany.
What is the role of architecture in contexts of extreme scarcity? What is the right approach to the practice when working against all odds? Should it be modest and risk succumbing to adverse circumstances? Or is modesty the only way to be pertinent and achieve results? Should it be ambitious in order to inspire change? Or does ambition run the risk of being out of place and of resulting in architecture of mere wishful thinking?
Francis Kéré has found brilliant, inspiring and game-changing ways to answer these questions over the last decades. His cultural sensitivity not only delivers social and environmental justice, but guides his entire process, in the awareness that it is the path towards the legitimacy of a building in a community. He knows, from within, that architecture is not about the object but the objective; not the product, but the process.

Francis Kéré’s entire body of work shows us the power of materiality rooted in place. His buildings, for and with communities, are directly of those communities – in their making, their materials, their programs and their unique characters. They are tied to the ground on which they sit and to the people who sit within them. They have presence without pretense and an impact shaped by grace.
Born in Burkina Faso to parents who insisted that their son be educated, Francis Kéré went on to the study of architecture in Berlin. Over and over, he has, in a sense returned to his roots. He has drawn from his European architectural formation and work, combining them with the traditions, needs and customs of his country. He was determined to bring resources in education from one of the leading Technical Universities in the world back to his native land and to have those resources elevate the indigenous know-how, culture and society of his region.

He has continuously pursued this task in ways at once highly respectful of place and tradition and yet transformational in what can be offered, as in the primary school in Gando which served as an example to so many even beyond the borders of Burkina Faso, and to which he later added a complex of teachers’ housing and a library. There, Kéré understood that an apparently simple goal, namely, to make it possible for children to attend school comfortably, had to be at the heart of his architectural project. Sustainability for a great majority of the world is not preventing undesirable energy loss so much as undesirable energy gains. For too many people in developing countries, the problem is extreme heat, rather than cold.
In response he developed an ad-hoc, highly performative and expressive architectural vocabulary: double roofs, thermal mass, wind towers, indirect lighting, cross ventilation and shade chambers (instead of conventional windows, doors and columns) have not only become his core strategies, but have actually acquired the status of built dignity. Since completing the school in his native village, Kéré has pursued the ethos and the method of working with local craft and skills to elevate not only the civic life of small villages, but soon also of national deliberations in legislative buildings. This is the case of his two projects underway for the Benin National Assembly, in advanced construction, and for the Burkina Faso National Assembly, temporarily halted by the current political situation in the country.

Francis Kéré’s work is, by its essence and its presence, fruit of its circumstances. In a world where architects are building projects in the most diverse contexts – not without controversies – Kéré contributes to the debate by incorporating local, national, regional and global dimensions in a very personal balance of grass roots experience, academic quality, low tech, high tech, and truly sophisticated multiculturalism. In the Serpentine pavilion, for example, he successfully translated into a universal visual language and in a particularly effective way, a long-forgotten essential symbol of primordial architecture worldwide: the tree.
He has developed a sensitive, bottom-up approach in its embrace of community participation. At the same time, he has no problem incorporating the best possible type of top-down process in his devotion to advanced architectural solutions. His simultaneously local and global perspective goes well beyond aesthetics and good intentions, allowing him to integrate the traditional with the contemporary.

Francis Kéré’s work also reminds us of the necessary struggle to change unsustainable patterns of production and consumption, as we strive to provide adequate buildings and infrastructure for billions in need. He raises fundamental questions of the meaning of permanence and durability of construction in a context of constant technological changes and of use and re-use of structures. At the same time his development of a contemporary humanism merges a deep respect for history, tradition, precision, written and unwritten rules.
Since the world began to pay attention to the remarkable work and life story of Francis Kéré, he has served as a singular beacon in architecture. He has shown us how architecture today can reflect and serve needs, including the aesthetic needs, of peoples throughout the world. He has shown us how locality becomes a universal possibility. In a world in crisis, amidst changing values and generations, he reminds us of what has been, and will undoubtably continue to be a cornerstone of architectural practice: a sense of community and narrative quality, which he himself is so able to recount with compassion and pride. In this he provides a narrative in which architecture can become a source of continued and lasting happiness and joy.
For the gifts he has created through his work, gifts that go beyond the realm of the architecture discipline, Francis Kéré is named the 2022 Pritzker Prize Laureate.

***创始人
普利兹克奖创办人杰伊和辛迪·普利兹克都相信，有意义的奖项不仅可以鼓励和推动公众更关注建筑物，并且会启发设计者更精彩的创意。
本奖项冠名源自芝加哥的普利兹克家族，他们拥有著名的凯悦酒店集团，旗下酒店遍布世界各地，并因此扬名海外。他们还长期积极赞助各项教育、科学、医疗及文化活动。普利兹克建筑奖由杰伊·普利兹克（1922年—1999年）和妻子辛迪共同创立。长子汤姆士·普利兹克是凯悦基金会的现任主席，他解释说："作为一个土生土长的芝加哥人，生活在摩天大楼诞生的地方，那里到处都是路易斯·沙里文、弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特、密斯·凡德罗等建筑伟人设计的经典作品，因此我们对建筑的热爱不足为怪。"
"1967年，我们买下了一幢尚未竣工的大楼，作为我们亚特兰大凯悦酒店所在地。它那高耸的中庭大堂成为我们全球酒店集团的一个标志。很明显，这个设计对我们的客人以及员工的情绪有着显著的影响。如果说芝加哥的建筑让我们懂得了建筑艺术，那么从事酒店设计和建设则让我们认识到建筑对人类行为的影响力。因此，在1978年我们想到要表彰一些当代的建筑师。我的父母相信，设立一个有意义的奖项，不仅能够鼓励和刺激公众对建筑的关注，同时能够在建筑界激发更大的创造力。"
普利兹克建筑奖在许多程序上以及奖金方面都参照了诺贝尔奖，获奖者可以得到10万美元奖金和一个正式的获奖证书，自1987年开始还增加了一枚铜质奖章。在此之前，为每位获奖者颁发的是一座限量版的亨利·摩尔的雕塑。

颁奖礼与奖章
正式的颁奖仪式每年举行一次，通常在5月份，地点选择在世界各地著名的建筑物内。此举突显了建筑环境的重要性，而且每年不同的特别场地，正好向其他时代和历届普利兹克奖得主的建筑作品致敬。由于每年的典礼选址在揭晓得奖者之前已经确定，因此两者之间并无关联。
应邀出席颁奖礼的嘉宾来自世界各地和主办国，仪式内容包括主办国名人致欢迎辞、评审团主席发表评语、汤姆士·普利兹克颁奖，以及得奖者致谢辞。
特别颁奖视频始于2020年，全球公众均可不受限制地参与其中，共同见证获奖者的荣耀时刻，观看完整颁奖视频的精选和往届获奖者和评委对获奖者的寄语。
得奖者可获10万美元和一枚铜质奖章，这枚普利兹克建筑奖章是根据路易斯·沙利文的设计而铸造的，他是芝加哥著名的建筑师和公认的摩天大厦之父。奖章的一面是奖项的名称，另一面则刻有三个词："坚固、价值和愉悦"，呼应古罗马建筑师维特鲁威提出的三条基本原则：坚固、实用和美观。

普利兹克奖创办人杰伊和辛迪·普利兹克都相信，有意义的奖项不仅可以鼓励和推动公众更关注建筑物，并且会启发设计者更精彩的创意。
本奖项冠名源自芝加哥的普利兹克家族，他们拥有著名的凯悦酒店集团，旗下酒店遍布世界各地，并因此扬名海外。他们还长期积极赞助各项教育、科学、医疗及文化活动。普利兹克建筑奖由杰伊·普利兹克（1922年—1999年）和妻子辛迪共同创立。长子汤姆士·普利兹克是凯悦基金会的现任主席，他解释说："作为一个土生土长的芝加哥人，生活在摩天大楼诞生的地方，那里到处都是路易斯·沙里文、弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特、密斯·凡德罗等建筑伟人设计的经典作品，因此我们对建筑的热爱不足为怪。"
"1967年，我们买下了一幢尚未竣工的大楼，作为我们亚特兰大凯悦酒店所在地。它那高耸的中庭大堂成为我们全球酒店集团的一个标志。很明显，这个设计对我们的客人以及员工的情绪有着显著的影响。如果说芝加哥的建筑让我们懂得了建筑艺术，那么从事酒店设计和建设则让我们认识到建筑对人类行为的影响力。因此，在1978年我们想到要表彰一些当代的建筑师。我的父母相信，设立一个有意义的奖项，不仅能够鼓励和刺激公众对建筑的关注，同时能够在建筑界激发更大的创造力。"
普利兹克建筑奖在许多程序上以及奖金方面都参照了诺贝尔奖，获奖者可以得到10万美元奖金和一个正式的获奖证书，自1987年开始还增加了一枚铜质奖章。在此之前，为每位获奖者颁发的是一座限量版的亨利·摩尔的雕塑。

颁奖礼与奖章
正式的颁奖仪式每年举行一次，通常在5月份，地点选择在世界各地著名的建筑物内。此举突显了建筑环境的重要性，而且每年不同的特别场地，正好向其他时代和历届普利兹克奖得主的建筑作品致敬。由于每年的典礼选址在揭晓得奖者之前已经确定，因此两者之间并无关联。
应邀出席颁奖礼的嘉宾来自世界各地和主办国，仪式内容包括主办国名人致欢迎辞、评审团主席发表评语、汤姆士·普利兹克颁奖，以及得奖者致谢辞。
特别颁奖视频始于2020年，全球公众均可不受限制地参与其中，共同见证获奖者的荣耀时刻，观看完整颁奖视频的精选和往届获奖者和评委对获奖者的寄语。
得奖者可获10万美元和一枚铜质奖章，这枚普利兹克建筑奖章是根据路易斯·沙利文的设计而铸造的，他是芝加哥著名的建筑师和公认的摩天大厦之父。奖章的一面是奖项的名称，另一面则刻有三个词："坚固、价值和愉悦"，呼应古罗马建筑师维特鲁威提出的三条基本原则：坚固、实用和美观。

CopyThe 2022 laureate of architecture’s highest honor, the Pritzker Architecture Prize is Diébédo Francis Kéré, known as Francis Kéré, Burkina Faso-born architect, educator, social activist, receiver of the 2004 Aga Khan Award for Architecture and designer of the 2017 Serpentine Pavilion. Recognized for “empowering and transforming communities through the process of architecture”, Kéré, the first black architect to ever obtain this award, works mostly in areas charged with constraints and adversity, using local materials and building contemporary facilities whose value exceeds the structure itself, serving and stabilizing the future of entire communities.“Through buildings that demonstrate beauty, modesty, boldness, and invention, and by the integrity of his architecture and geste, Kéré gracefully upholds the mission of this Prize,” explains the official statement of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Announced today by Tom Pritzker, Chairman of The Hyatt Foundation, Francis Kéré is the 51st winner of the award founded in 1979, succeeding Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal. Praised “for the gifts he has created through his work, gifts that go beyond the realm of the architecture discipline”, the acclaimed architect is present equally in Burkina Faso and Germany, professionally and personally. + 18
“I am hoping to change the paradigm, push people to dream and undergo risk. It is not because you are rich that you should waste material. It is not because you are poor that you should not try to create quality, [...] Everyone deserves quality, everyone deserves luxury, and everyone deserves comfort. We are interlinked and concerns in climate, democracy, and scarcity are concerns for us all.” – Francis Kéré, 2022 Pritzker Architecture Prize Winner.

Image © Erik-Jan OuwerkerkBorn in Gando, Burkina Faso in 1965 and based in Berlin, Germany, Francis Kéré works towards “improving the lives and experiences of countless citizens in a region of the world that is at times forgotten” as Pritzker explains. The oldest son of the village chief and the first in his community to attend school, the architect’s first sense of architecture stemmed from his childhood classroom that lacked ventilation and light, on one hand, and from the little illuminated yet safe space where his grandmother would sit and tell stories, on another. In 1985, he traveled to Berlin on a vocational carpentry scholarship, learning to make roofs and furniture by day, while attending secondary classes at night. He was awarded a scholarship to attend Technische Universität Berlin (Berlin, Germany) in 1995, graduating in 2004 with an advanced degree in architecture.

Younger, Kéré had vowed to one day make schools better in extreme climates, allowing for “true teaching, learning, and excitement”, and in 1998, he established the Kéré Foundation to fundraise and advocate for a child’s right to a comfortable classroom. His first building, Gando Primary School in 2001, was built by and for the locals, who crafted every part of the establishment by hand, guided by the architect’s “inventive forms of indigenous materials and modern engineering”. This project awarded him the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004, and led to the inception of his own practice Kéré Architecture, in Berlin, Germany, in 2005. Following this success, other primary, secondary, postsecondary, and medical facilities followed throughout Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mozambique, and Uganda. Save this picture!Lycée Schorge . Image Courtesy of Francis Kéré “I grew up in a community where there was no kindergarten, but where the community was your family. Everyone took care of you and the entire village was your playground. My days were filled with securing food and water, but also simply being together, talking together, building houses together. I remember the room where my grandmother would sit and tell stories with a little light, while we would huddle close to each other and her voice inside the room enclosed us, summoning us to come closer and form a safe place. This was my first sense of architecture.” – Francis Kéré, 2022 Pritzker Architecture Prize Winner. Save this picture!Startup Lions Campus / Kéré Architecture.

Rays of sun filter into buildings, courtyards, and intermediary spaces overcoming harsh midday conditions to offer places of serenity or gathering”, adds the official statement of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Other than schools and medical facilities, Kéré’s work in Africa includes, in progress, two historic parliament buildings, the National Assembly of Burkina Faso (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso) and Benin National Assembly (Porto-Novo, Republic of Benin), as well as the TStartup Lions Campus (2021, Turkana, Kenya), an information and communication technologies campus, and the Burkina Institute of Technology (Phase I, 2020, Koudougou, Burkina Faso) composed of cooling clay walls.Save this picture!2017 Serpentine Pavilion . Image © Iwan BaanWith an architectural expression deeply rooted in his upbringing and experiences in Gando, Kéré communicated to the world West African tradition, especially the practice of “communing under a sacred tree to exchange ideas, narrate stories, celebrate and assemble”. In fact, for the 2017 Serpentine Pavilion, the architect imagined a structure that takes its shape from a tree, with a detached roof and disconnected yet curved walls formed by triangular indigo modules, the color representing strength in his culture and more personally, a blue boubou garment worn by the architect as a child. Inside the pavilion, rainwater is funneled into the center, highlighting water scarcity that is experienced worldwide. Beyond creating for the African continent, his built works also include structures in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Some of his significant works are Xylem at Tippet Rise Art Centre (2019, Montana, United States), Léo Doctors’ Housing (2019, Léo, Burkina Faso), Lycée Schorge Secondary School (2016, Koudougou, Burkina Faso), the National Park of Mali (2010, Bamako, Mali) and Opera Village (Phase I, 2010, Laongo, Burkina Faso).Save this picture!Xylem Pavilion / Kéré Architecture. Image © Iwan BaanA visiting professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (Massachusetts, United States), Yale School of Architecture (Connecticut, United States), Francis Kéré holds the inaugural Chair of Architectural Design and Participation professorship at the Technische Universität München (Munich, Germany) since 2017. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (2018) and the American Institute of Architects (2012) and a chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (2009). Additional awards granted over the years include the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine’s Global Award for Sustainable Architecture (2009), BSI Swiss Architectural Award (2010); the Global Holcim Awards Gold (2012, Zurich, Switzerland), Schelling Architecture Award (2014); Arnold W Brunner Memorial Prize in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts & Letters (2017); and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal in Architecture (2021).The 44th Pritzker Prize ceremony, honoring 2022 Laureate, Diébédo Francis Kéré, will be held at the Great Hall of the newly opened Marshall Building, The London School of Economics and Political Science (London, United Kingdom), designed by Grafton Architects, led by Farrell and McNamara.Save this picture!Diébédo Francis Kéré. Image Courtesy of PMAJury CitationWhat is the role of architecture in contexts of extreme scarcity? What is the right approach to the practice when working against all odds? Should it be modest and risk succumbing to adverse circumstances? Or is modesty the only way to be pertinent and achieve results? Should it be ambitious in order to inspire change? Or does ambition run the risk of being out of place and of resulting in architecture of mere wishful thinking?Francis Kéré has found brilliant, inspiring, and game-changing ways to answer these questions over the last decades. His cultural sensitivity not only delivers social and environmental justice but guides his entire process, in the awareness that it is the path towards the legitimacy of a building in a community. He knows, from within, that architecture is not about the object but the objective; not the product, but the process. Francis Kéré’s entire body of work shows us the power of materiality rooted in place. His buildings, for and with communities, are directly of those communities – in their making, their materials, their programs, and their unique characters. They are tied to the ground on which they sit and to the people who sit within them. They have presence without pretense and an impact shaped by grace.Born in Burkina Faso to parents who insisted that their son be educated, Francis Kéré went on to study architecture in Berlin. Over and over, he has, in a sense, returned to his roots. He has drawn from his European architectural formation and work, combining them with the traditions, needs, and customs of his country. He was determined to bring resources in education from one of the leading Technical Universities in the world back to his native land and to have those resources elevate the indigenous know-how, culture, and society of his region.Save this picture!National Park of Mali / Kéré Architecture. Image © Iwan BaanHe has continuously pursued this task in ways at once highly respectful of place and tradition and yet transformational in what can be offered, as in the primary school in Gando which served as an example to so many even beyond the borders of Burkina Faso, and to which he later added a complex of teachers’ housing and a library. There, Kéré understood that an apparently simple goal, namely, to make it possible for children to attend school comfortably, had to be at the heart of his architectural project. Sustainability for a great majority of the world is not preventing undesirable energy loss so much as undesirable energy gains. For too many people in developing countries, the problem is extreme heat, rather than cold.In response, he developed an ad-hoc, highly performative and expressive architectural vocabulary: double roofs, thermal mass, wind towers, indirect lighting, cross ventilation and shade chambers (instead of conventional windows, doors, and columns) have not only become his core strategies but have actually acquired the status of built dignity. Since completing the school in his native village, Kéré has pursued the ethos and the method of working with local craft and skills to elevate not only the civic life of small villages but soon also of national deliberations in legislative buildings. This is the case of his two projects underway for the Benin National Assembly, in advanced construction, and for the Burkina Faso National Assembly, temporarily halted by the current political situation in the country.Save this picture!Gando Teacher's Housing / Kéré Architecture. Image © Erik-Jan OuwerkerkFrancis Kéré’s work is, by its essence and its presence, fruit of its circumstances. In a world where architects are building projects in the most diverse contexts – not without controversies – Kéré contributes to the debate by incorporating local, national, regional, and global dimensions in a very personal balance of grassroots experience, academic quality, low tech, high tech, and truly sophisticated multiculturalism. In the Serpentine pavilion, for example, he successfully translated into a universal visual language and in a particularly effective way, a long-forgotten essential symbol of primordial architecture worldwide: the tree.He has developed a sensitive, bottom-up approach in its embrace of community participation. At the same time, he has no problem incorporating the best possible type of top-down process in his devotion to advanced architectural solutions. His simultaneously local and global perspective goes well beyond aesthetics and good intentions, allowing him to integrate the traditional with the contemporary.Save this picture!Centre for Health and Social Welfare. Image Courtesy of Francis KéréFrancis Kéré’s work also reminds us of the necessary struggle to change unsustainable patterns of production and consumption, as we strive to provide adequate buildings and infrastructure for billions in need. He raises fundamental questions of the meaning of permanence and durability of construction in a context of constant technological changes and of use and re-use of structures. At the same time, his development of contemporary humanism merges a deep respect for history, tradition, precision, written and unwritten rules.Save this picture!Sarbalé Ke Pavilion / Kéré Architecture. Image © Iwan BaanSince the world began to pay attention to the remarkable work and life story of Francis Kéré, he has served as a singular beacon in architecture. He has shown us how architecture today can reflect and serve needs, including the aesthetic needs, of people throughout the world. He has shown us how locality becomes a universal possibility. In a world in crisis, amidst changing values and generations, he reminds us of what has been, and will undoubtedly continue to be a cornerstone of architectural practice: a sense of community and narrative quality, which he himself is so able to recount with compassion and pride. In this, he provides a narrative in which architecture can become a source of continued and lasting happiness and joy.For the gifts he has created through his work, gifts that go beyond the realm of the architecture discipline, Francis Kéré is named the 2022 Pritzker Prize Laureate.Stay tuned to ArchDaily’s coverage of the Pritzker Prize.
