TED Talk – Diebedo Francis Kere: How to build with clay… and community

Diebedo Francis Kere knew exactly what he wanted to do when he got his degree in architecture… He wanted to go home to Gando in Burkina Faso, to help his neighbors reap the benefit of his education. In this charming talk, Kere shows off some of the beautiful structures he’s helped to build in his small village in the years since then, including an award-winning primary school made from clay by the entire community.

Diebedo Francis Kere and his architectural firm design buildings that are good for the environment — and those who use them.
