i don't care how you were raised. you're an adult, unlearn that nonsense.

Francis Kéré has proven repeatedly that the materials beneath your feet are enough to build something extraordinary. Compressed earth, bamboo, laterite, eucalyptus. In his hands, what most architects overlook becomes the building itself. In 2022, he became the first African architect to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture’s highest honour. His words upon receiving it: “Everyone deserves quality, everyone deserves luxury, and everyone deserves comfort.”

This is the SKF-RTL Children Learning Centre, Nyang’oma Kogelo, Kenya. Two classrooms, a kitchen, office spaces, bathrooms. Each function sits in its own circular structure, arranged the way traditional compounds in this region are arranged. Not a western building plan dropped onto African soil. A building that understands where it is.

The walls are compressed earth bricks made on site. The bamboo log panels filling the openings filter light and pull cool air through the building. The steel butterfly roof extends beyond the walls, shading the perimeter and collecting rainwater at the center.

No imported climate solutions. The building handles heat, light, and water through the logic of its own assembly.

So, an educated qualified healthy Kenyan can be denied a visa to America, but an American with Ebola is given express access to Kenya.

What do you think of this type of architecture?

[SHAV★ @shavnyuy]

A banker and a dancer walked into an architect’s office with opposite ideas of home. He wanted minimal. She wanted traditional. The architect gave them both.

Our Space. Calicut, Kerala, India. SATKRIYA. 3,900 sq ft. 2020.

Locally sourced laterite stone walls. Terracotta roof tiles. Teak wood windows. Jali screens that filter light the way thick walls were always meant to. The entire front yard walks into the common areas, so the house is never fully indoors.

This is what a tropical home with a soul looks like. Not a sealed box fighting the climate with electricity. A building that works with the heat, the rain, and the land it sits on.

We have the same climate. We have laterite. We have timber. What we have forgotten is that a home is supposed to feel like somewhere, not like anywhere.

Those ladies in Kenya and SA that made it their life's work to store, label and preserve indigenous seeds and protect seed sovereignty, they are doing the work of God.

I can't believe we live in a country where leaders tell us to understand them yet they squander our taxes at our expense.

The public transport is actually fully in the hands of the private sector. That is a wake up call for a real government with brains😅
