Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Francis Kéré joins architect Daina Cunningham and local students for a collective conversation on climate-adaptive schools.

Francis Kéré is known for his work on creating civic buildings that respond to heat, place and community. Through the Kéré Foundation, he uses local materials, cultural traditions and environmental conditions to create resilient and sustainable architecture. In this session, students from the Lang Walker Family Academy’s 50ºC: Climate, Heat and Resilience program will lead a conversation with Kéré about how sustainable design can create schools that are comfortable places to learn, work and play.

Francis Kéré is participating in Sydney Design Week 2025 at the invitation of The Glenn Murcutt Architecture Foundation.
