Spirits out of Trees: Kéré Gando Montana BOOK LAUNCH EVENT at the Shop October 15

Please join us at the shop Thursday evening October 15 for a book launch. Peter and Kathy Halstead will be joining. Mr. Kere, though unable to attend, will pre-sign 20 copies of the book. 

Spirits out of Trees traces 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.
