Francis Kéré holds Bluhm-Kaul Keynote at AIR 2025 in Aspen
On July 29, 2025, Francis Kéré presented the Bluhm-Kaul Keynote at the Aspen Art Museum, underlining the power of architecture to bring people together. Introduced by Hans Ulrich Obrist (Artistic Director of Serpentine), Kéré explored the idea of togetherness — how public spaces, cultural projects, and collaborative design processes can foster connection and collective life.
Drawing from his portfolio, Kéré reflected on the role of architecture in creating inclusive environments. He emphasized that design must respond not only to physical form but also to social context, climate, and resource constraints.
The lecture was part of the AIR Aspen series: a platform that brings luminaries in art, architecture, and culture to Aspen audiences
