Architectural constructions that support the necessities of extremely hot climates (invaluable knowledge for the expected future dramatic rises of temperature). Made of breathable mud bricks instead of concrete which is expensive and concentrates heat. Covered with arched tin roofs to protect the bricks from the rain. The building are cooler and more pleasant to work in than the conventional concrete school buildings. Kéré's design has become renowned throughout Burkina Faso, and won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2004.
