Spirits of trees retrace l'histoire entrelacée de deux projets de l'architecte burkinabé-allemand Francis Kéré, installé à Berlin. Xylem est un pavillon niché parmi les arbres du Tippet Rise Art Center à Fishtail, dans le Montana. Le lycée Naaba Belem Goumma a été construit à Gando, au Burkina Faso, ville natale de Kéré. Si la géographie, le climat et la culture environnante distinguent ces deux édifices, ils sont unis par leur philosophie commune : concevoir l'architecture comme un lieu de rencontre, d'apprentissage et de bienveillance. L'ouvrage illustre comment les arbres, au sens propre comme au figuré, façonnent le langage architectural de Kéré. Xylem y parvient grâce à la puissance spirituelle et structurelle des arbres, qui offrent un espace propice à la quiétude et un refuge contre la chaleur. Le lycée Naaba Belem Goumma a été conçu avec des matériaux locaux, argile et bois, comme un environnement d'apprentissage vivant et stimulant, pour la communauté.

Paperback. Etat : New. 1. Spirits out of Trees traces richly illustrated the interwoven stories of two architectural works by Burkinabé-German architect Francis Kéré: Xylem, a contemplative pavilion nestled within the aspen groves of Tippet Rise Art Center in Fishtail, Montana, and the Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School, built for Kéré's hometown community of Gando, Burkina Faso. Though separated by geography, climate, and culture, the two buildings are united by a shared philosophy: architecture as a site of gathering, learning, and care.The book explores how trees-literal and metaphorical-inform Kéré's design language. Xylem evokes the spiritual and structural intelligence of trees, offering a space of quiet communion and passive cooling. Naaba Belem Goumma Secondary School transforms local materials into a living, breathing environment for education, shaped by and for its community.Combining architectural documentation and photography with personal writing and original poetry, Spirits out of Trees is both a tribute to Francis Kéré's vision and to the enduring metaphor of the tree, as shelter and as a symbol of regeneration. Designed with the same humility and clarity that defines Kéré's work, the volume offers a deeply resonant meditation on sustainability, cultural continuity, and the power of architecture to root us more fully in the world around us.
