The student project is one of many that materialized from a course, or studio, taught during spring semester by the celebrity instructor. The 11 students had to apply for enrollment in the exclusive studio.

The award also is the vehicle for world-class architects \u2013 in what Greenstreet calls their \u201cpre-greatness stage\u201d \u2013 to leave a mark on Milwaukee and inspire students.<\/p>\n<p>K\u00e9r\u00e9 hails from Gando, a small village in the African nation of Burkino Faso, but his architecture firm is in Berlin, Germany. The simple but unique buildings he designed as a labor of love for Gando, which were built by the villagers, have created such a buzz that he is now highly sought after.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we first toured Milwaukee, Francis wanted to see not the tourist destinations, but where ordinary people lived,\u201d says Assistant Professor Chris Cornelius, who co-taught the studio with K\u00e9r\u00e9. The pairing stands out because Cornelius, who is Oneida, is also known for bringing cultural identity to his designs.<\/p>\n<p>What K\u00e9r\u00e9 has learned by working in Gando is the importance of getting buy-in from residents \u2013 even if it means surrendering some of the details of his own artistic vision in order to stoke enthusiasm and ownership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis idea is that people get more value from a project when they are involved,\u201d Cornelius says. \u201cSo he didn\u2019t want the students to go into a neighborhood and ask, \u2018What can we build for you?\u2019 He wanted them to design something that could get residents involved in their respective spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He and K\u00e9r\u00e9 were hoping to engage the underserved with the studio\u2019s projects, he adds, so they chose the 35<sup>th<\/sup> Street corridor as the target area. Researching census information informed students that most residents there didn\u2019t have access to a car, for example, and had to use public transportation to access the closest large grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, many of the projects incorporated themes such as fresh food, community recreation and transportation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2683\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2683\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/Kere_j3-1p225in.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2683\" title=\"Kere_j3\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/Kere_j3-1p225in.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/Kere_j3-1p225in.jpg 325w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2012\/05\/Kere_j3-1p225in-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This secondary school in Dano, Burkina Faso, was designed by K\u00e9r\u00e9 Architecture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI was particularly interested in transit issues because the census data we used showed that there was no community here in the Valley,\u201d says Arteaga. \u201cBut that hasn\u2019t always been the case. The area was the heart of Milwaukee right up to the mid-20<sup>th<\/sup> century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bus stops and bats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The team focused on a bus stop in the middle of the viaduct. It isn\u2019t immediately obvious where the riders come from or go until you see a steel staircase that leads straight down into the Valley.<\/p>\n<p>It was the vertical drop that gave the students the idea to design a \u201clayered\u201d public space that improves access to natural wonders, like the bats, at various levels.<\/p>\n<p>If the bus stop were defined architecturally, says Villwock, more people would notice the sweeping view of Lake Michigan. Descend the stairs to mid-level, and the plan includes a bat observation deck.<\/p>\n<p>Building on the existing Hank Aaron State Trail that meanders near the Menomonee River, their project also calls for a bat hiberniculum below ground. Encouraged by the fact that the Urban Ecology Center is also locating in the Valley, the team imagined a place that provided habitat for bats, research opportunities for scientists and public education for residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn one hour, one bat eats 1,000 mosquitoes,\u201d says Bloedel. \u201cIf we incorporate a place for these animals in our [architectural] intervention, it will protect them and also provide education that will reverse their negative image.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The protection of bats struck a chord with K\u00e9r\u00e9 because of the significance put on nature by people in his home village. \u201cI love their idea of bringing the natural world into the architecture,\u201d says K\u00e9r\u00e9, \u201cand the architect is trained to design for these circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>K\u00e9r\u00e9 has had his own experience with bats. Of the three trees in the village compound in Gando, one had bats living in it. \u201cThe people didn\u2019t know why the bats were there,\u201d he says, \u201cbut they believed that if we don\u2019t care for them, we [ourselves] will die because the bats are a part of this place. So I thank them for bringing this idea to Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Di\u00e9b\u00e9do Francis K\u00e9r\u00e9, a rising star in the world of architecture, is
