For <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/kere-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture<\/a>, renderings provide a way to showcase design and relate to larger contexts. Founded by Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9 in 2005, with a dual focus on design and social commitment, the studio&#8217;s scope encompasses building, design and knowledge sharing. Known for its use of structure and materials, the practice&#8217;s portfolio spans a wide spectrum of projects from civic infrastructure to temporary installations, from concept to execution and across diverse geographies.<\/p>\n<p>K\u00e9r\u00e9&#8217;s architectural reputation is strongly tied to the work&#8217;s built realization, and rarely is the process of a project&#8217;s creation explored through working images and visualizations. The following article examines a range of K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture&#8217;s work through rendering, and it does so across different approaches and scales. A common thread emerges that is grounded in the renowned Burkinab\u00e8 architect&#8217;s pioneering approach to sustainable modes of construction and context. The result is a portfolio that centers process and vision as the heart of design.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/2d328fa2-325e-48d5-8fef-e87510e5b8d7\/KereArchitectureDesignandApproachExpertise.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the particularities of each project\u2019s locality and its social tapestry, K\u00e9r\u00e9 and his team work on projects across multiple continents. At the intersection of utopia and pragmatism, the team creates contemporary architecture that feeds the imagination with an Afrofuturist vision. Informed by tradition, the practice explores new modes of construction for which the foundations have long been laid.<\/p>\n<p>Innovative uses of local resources and participatory design methods allow them to work beyond the boundaries of most established design practices and shed dominant norms. Exploring the many crossroads of the architectural realm and other disciplines, from art to technology, they expand their design practice through a deeper understanding of the relationship between rendering, illustration and built work.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/f054374c-1e01-4543-8490-9453c38745b7\/InteriorofThomasSankaraMemorial_RenderbyKereArchitecture.jpg?w=1400&amp;h=1000&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=100&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=7015%2C4960%2C0%2C0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"990\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Interior of Thomas Sankara Memorial.

The design proposal for the memorial reflects the genesis of revolution. The aim is the integration of a structure into an existing landscape that places innovation at its fore. In this rendering, the studio visualizes the interior of the memorial tower, an 285 feet (87 meters) high urban landmark for the Burkinab\u00e8 capital, a design that stands on the site of the 1987 assassination of Sankara and his comrades.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors are invited to climb the structure using a helicoidal ramp. The path is purposefully long and demanding, emulating the call not to fear the challenging road to change. Tackling the winding route is rewarded with stunning views across the city from a unique vantage point, which also features a restaurant shaped as the contour of Burkina Faso. A suspended funicular cabin provides access to the summit for older people and other abled. This rendering view is used to emphasize materials, light and circulation \u2014 all central elements of the design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-106412 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-1140x569.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-625x312.jpg 625w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-368x184.jpg 368w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-130-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106410\" style=\"width: 1810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106410\" class=\"size-full wp-image-106410 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-131-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-106410\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Xylem, Render by K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture, photograph by Iwan Baan.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Early Concepts &amp; Materials: Xylem<\/h2>\n<p>K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture designed Xylem, the gathering pavilion for the Tippet Rise Art Centre, as a quiet, protective shelter. Named to evoke the vital internal layers of a tree\u2019s living structure, Xylem is a place where visitors of this vast outdoor art space can gather to converse or sit and contemplate in solitude. Early renderings for the project show a much more playful and artistic interpretation of the finished design. Favoring illustration over realism, the renderings evoke layering that is much more conceptual than later renderings.<\/p>\n<p>The logs of Xylem&#8217;s canopy are grouped in circular bundles within a modular hexagonal structure in weathering steel, supported by seven steel columns. The upper surface of the canopy is carved sinuously to blend into the surrounding hills. Simultaneously massive yet light, the roof is inspired by the <em>tuguna,<\/em> the sacred gathering space of many small Burkinab\u00e8 communities. These low-level wood and straw shelters offer protection from the sun while allowing for ventilation.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the pavilion, sunlight filters through the vertical logs, creating a soft play of light and shadow on the curvilinear seating and polished concrete circular platform below. The spatial complexity of the carved wooden seating elements encourages visitors to explore different views of the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-106411 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-136-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_106415\" style=\"width: 1810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-106415\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-106415 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-126-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-106415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Xylem, Render by K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture, photograph by Iwan Baan.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Design Development &amp; Scale: Xylem<\/h2>\n<p>Later in the design process you can see how K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture&#8217;s renderings evolve to a more realistic approach. This brings in scale, sky and photo-realism as an entirely different approach to illustration.\u00a0Located in a slightly sunken landform between the main facilities of the art center and the start of the hiking tracks, the pavilion nestles in a clearing surrounded by aspen trees, facing a small creek. Entirely carved in wooden logs, the pavilion invites visitors into the heart of the trees. The sustainable pinewood used for the entire pavilion, locally sourced from a natural pruning process that saves forests from parasitic bugs, is used in its raw state.<\/p>\n<p>For K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture, the definition of local resources has many layers, all of which are tightly interwoven. The studio believes that to build in a particular location means to engage actively with all aspects of the building practices of that place. Perhaps the most significant local resource is the existing built heritage, which teaches us how to adapt to our given context. In the work of Xylem and the render process, you can see how the studio\u00a0strongly believes that a comprehensive understanding of local resources grounds each of their projects in its specific site and context.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/35eb5b3f-6d2c-4577-ac72-20ae7a441c73\/CornicheYantala.WaterfrontoftheNiameyNyalaMasterplan_RenderbyKereArchitecture.jpg?w=1400&amp;h=1000&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=100&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=6000%2C3376%2C0%2C0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waterfront of the Niamey Nyala Masterplan.

The Niamey Nyala Masterplan puts forward a new vision, based on the premise of transforming the city by harnessing the hugely untapped potential of its riverbanks. The plan intends to create a network of public spaces along the Gounti Y\u00e9na (a tributary of the Niger River flowing through the city from south to north) and the Yantala Corniche on the left of the river, promoting Niamey\u2019s biodiversity. The studio&#8217;s rendering for the masterplan combines an aerial view of the river and city superimposed with textures, architecture and infrastructure for the new project vision.<\/p>\n<p>Along the Yantala Corniche, the existing tree nurseries and market gardens are reorganized to integrate recreational areas. In turn, the illustration shows how housing is planned along the riverside to slow the city\u2019s expansion into the desert, as well as water transport to improve the connection between various points along the banks. The promenade planned along the Gounti Y\u00e9na waterway is combined with a series of waste stabilization ponds that filter the water through plants and sand.\u00a0At the heart of the masterplan, a pedestrian bridge connects the two main promenades and spans the ring road, offering Niamey\u2019s citizens a new vantage point over their city and its river.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/fb5ce55b-e4eb-4fea-9ab1-cec623acaa20\/FacadeofTUMTower_RenderbyKereArchitecture.jpg?w=1400&amp;h=1000&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=100&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=3507%2C2480%2C0%2C0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"990\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fa\u00e7ade of the TUM Tower.

Complementing the science facilities, this new central hub aims to promote cross-pollination between the public, faculty, alumni, students and researchers of various disciplines. The rendering especially showcases how each terrace is brought to life by the green fa\u00e7ade, which serves as the building\u2019s natural climatization system.<\/p>\n<p>The design explores the organic and flexible possibilities of geometric forms, starting from the simple square. The TUM Tower includes a 360\u00b0 view of the campus, made possible by the 22.5\u00b0 rotation of a squared plan around its core axis. Acting as a landmark visible from afar, the TUM Tower brings the form of the campus\u2019s functional architecture to new light. It playfully evokes both the essence and shape of the Bavarian maypole or Maibaum tradition \u2013 an annual celebration of communal gathering around a soaring tree-like structure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-106413 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-127-400x283.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/fae08fd9-a47a-41c6-811a-6688aed79068\/InterioroftheSerpentinePavilion_KereArchitecture_PhotobyIwanBaan.jpg?w=1400&amp;h=1000&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=100&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=6000%2C4000%2C0%2C0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Interior of the Serpentine Pavilion.

In 2017, they chose Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9. Taking inspiration from the great tree in his hometown of Gando, under which members of the community meet to reflect on the day, K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s design is based on creating this sense of community while connecting people with nature. A great overhanging roof canopy made of steel and a transparent skin covers the entire footprint of K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s Serpentine Pavilion, allowing sunlight to enter the space while also protecting it from the rain.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does this rendering showcase the materials and vision for natural light, but it also points to a larger approach to pavilion design. The project is defined by wooden shading elements that line the underside of the roof, creating a dynamic shadow effect that changes with the movement of the sun and clouds. The wall system is made of prefabricated wooden blocks assembled into triangular modules with slight apertures, giving a lightness and transparency to the building enclosure. The curved walls are split into four fragments, allowing four unique access points to K\u00e9r\u00e9\u2019s Serpentine Pavilion. Completely detached from the roof canopy, these elements allow both the air and visitors to freely circulate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/7492e4ca-9644-419a-809e-cc0b6e4e2e9f\/KereArchitecture_BeninNationalAssembly_Render05_Courtyard.jpg?w=1400&amp;h=1000&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=100&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=2500%2C1406%2C0%2C0\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.disko.io\/kere\/0dd175e8-531e-4a75-8110-ef2a26ee121d\/KereArchitecture_BeninNationalAssembly_Render03_Facade.jpg?w=1400&amp;h=1000&amp;fm=jpg&amp;q=100&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=2500%2C1406%2C0%2C0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"787\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fa\u00e7ade of the Benin National Assembly.

The project takes inspiration from the palaver tree, the age-old West African tradition of meeting under a tree to make consensual decisions in the interest of a community. Here, an approach to rendering not only accentuates the conceptual idea and brings it to life, but also tells a story of structure and the building fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p>The assembly hall is defined by the dynamic reach of the structure. The crown is comprised of offices and auxiliary functions, set back from the deep fa\u00e7ade, which filters the sunlight. The trunk is hollow, creating a central courtyard that allows circulation spaces to be naturally ventilated and indirect light to penetrate the plan. A spiral staircase in its center connects the assembly hall on the ground floor to the offices above. In the southeast corner of the site, a public square marks the civic fa\u00e7ade of the building, across from the former national assembly where Benin\u2019s independence was historically declared.<\/p>\n<p><em>Showcase your visionary architectural concepts: The<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/info.architizer.com\/vision-awards?utm_source=architizer&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 2026 Vision Awards<\/a> <\/strong>features categories that reward UNBUILT projects presenting bold ideas for the future of architecture. <a href=\"https:\/\/visionawards.architizer.com\/a\/organizations\/main\/submissions\/submissionnotcompleted?solicitationId=31&amp;utm_source=architizer&amp;utm_medium=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Take advantage of early bird pricing before\u00a0<strong>April 17th.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K\u00e9r\u00e9&#8217;s reputation is strongly tied to their built output.
