The exhibition guides visitors through the unique personal and professional life-journey of the architect. In the architecture scene, Kéré is one of the exceptional talents working in the field today because he has succeeded in taking both the strong cultural influences of his home country and the experiences he accrued while studying at the TU Berlin in Germany and translating them into a new, third way.
It is his clever use of local resources and his deep respect for cultural practice that make his designs and executed projects so relevant and convincing. He specifically created the exhibition design for the exhibition at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich in order to create a unique experience for the visitor.
