2
I would like to show you how architecture has helped
3
to change the life of my community and have open opportunities to hope.
4
I am a native of Burkina Faso.
5
According to the World Bank, Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world.
6
But what does it look like to grow up in a place like that?
7
I am an example of that.
8
I was born in a little village called Gando.
9
In Gando, there was no electricity, no access to clean drinking water, and no school.
10
But my father wanted me to learn how to read and write.
11
For this reason, I have to leave my family
12
when I was seven and to stay in a city far away from my village with no contact with my family.
13
In this place, I sat in a class like that with more than 150 other kids.
14
and for six years.
15
And this time, it just happened to me to come to school to realize that my classmate was died.
16
Today, not so much has changed.
17
There is still no electricity in my village, people still die in Burkina Faso,
18
and access to clean drinking water is still a big problem.
19
I had a luck.
20
I was lucky.
21
Because this is a fact of life when you grow up in a place like that.
22
But I was lucky.
23
I had a scholarship.
24
I could go to Germany to study. So now,
25
I suppose I don't need to explain to you how great
26
a privilege it is for me to be standing before you today.
27
From Gando, my home village in Burkina Faso, to Berlin in Germany to become an architect,
28
it's a big, big step.
29
But what to do with this privilege?
30
Since as a student, I wanted to open up better opportunities to other kids in Gano, I just wanted to use my skills and build a school.
31
But how do you do when you're still a student and you don't have money?
32
Oh yes, I started to make drawings and ask for money.
33
Fundraising was not an easy task.
34
I even asked my classmates to spend less money on coffee and cigarettes but to sponsor my school project.
35
You will wonder, two years later, I was able to collect 50,000 US dollars.
36
When I came home to Ghandu to bring the good news, my people were over the moon.
37
But when they realized that I was planning to use clay, they were shocked.
38
A clay building is not able to stay in the rainy season.
39
And Francis wants us to use it and build a school.
40
Is this the reason why he spends so much time in Europe studying instead of working on the field with us?
41
My people build all the time with clay, but they don't see any innovation with math.
42
So I have to convince everybody.
43
I started to speak with the community, I could convince everybody and we could start to work.
44
And the women, the men, everybody from the village paths was part of this building process.
45
I was allowed to use even traditional techniques.
46
So, clay floor for example, the young men come and stand like that, beating.
47
Hours, four hours, and then their mother came.
48
And they beat in this position.
49
for hours, giving water, giving water and beating.
50
And then the polisher cap, they start polishing it with a stone for hours.
51
And then, you have this result.
52
Very fine, like a baby button.
53
It's now Photoshop.
54
This is the school built with the community.
55
The walls are totally made out of compressive clay blocks from Gander.
56
The roof structure is made with cheap steel bars normally hiding inside concrete.
57
In the classroom, the ceiling is made out of both of them used together.
58
In this school there was a simple idea to create comfort in the classroom.
59
Don't forget, it can be 45 degrees in Burkina Faso.
60
So with simple ventilation, I wanted to make the classroom good for teaching and learning.
61
And this is the project today.
62
Twelve years old, still in the best condition.
63
And the kids, they love it.
64
And for me and my community, this project was a huge success.
65
It has opened up opportunities to do more projects in Gano.
66
So I could do a lot of projects
67
and here I'm going to share with you only three of them three of them.
68
The first one is the school extension, of course.
69
How do you explain drawings and engineering to people who are neither able to read nor write?
70
I start to build a prototype like that.
71
The innovation was to build a clay vault.
72
And then I jump on the top like that with my team, and it works.
73
The community is looking, it still works.
74
So we can build.
75
And we keep building, and that is the result.
76
The kids are happy and they love it.
77
The community is very proud.
78
We made it.
79
And even animals, like these donkeys, love our buildings.
80
The next project is the library in Gander.
81
You see now, we try to use, introduce different ideas in our buildings, but we often don't have so much material.
82
Something we have in Ghandlo are clay pots.
83
We wanted to use them to create openings.
84
So we just bring them, like you can see, to the building site.
85
We start to cut them, and then we place them on the top of the roof before we pour the concrete.
86
And you have this result.
87
The openings are letting the hot air out and lighting.
88
Very simple.
89
My most recent project in Gando is a high school project.
90
I would like to share with you this.
91
The innovation in this project is to cast mud, like you would cast concrete.
92
How do you cast mud?
93
We start making a lot of models, like you can see, like you can see, and when everything is ready, when you know what is the best receipt and the best form,
94
you start working with the community.
95
And sometimes, I can leave.
96
They will do it themselves.
97
I came to speak to you like that.
98
Another factor in Gando is rain.
99
When the rains come, we hurry up to protect our fragile walls against the rain.
100
Don't conform with Christon Jean-Claude.
101
It is simply how we protect our walls.
102
The rain in Burkina comes very fast.
103
And after that, you have flood everywhere in the country.
104
But for us, the rain is good.
105
It brings sand and gravel to the river.
106
We need to use the build.
107
We just wait for the rain to go.
108
We take the sand, we mix them with clay, and we keep building. That is it.
109
The Gando project was always connected to training the people because I just wondered, one day, when I fall down and die,
110
I will die that at least one person from Gando keeps doing this work.
111
But you will be surprised, I'm still alive.
112
And my people now can use their skills to earn money themselves.
113
Usually for a young man from Gando, to earn money, you have to leave the country to the city, Sometimes they leave the country,
114
and some never come back, making the community weaker.
115
But now, they can stay in the country and work on different building sites and earn money to feed their family.
116
It's a new quality in this work.
117
Yes, you know it.
118
I have won a lot of awards through this work.
119
For sure, it has open opportunities.
120
I have become myself now.
121
But the reason why I do what I do is my community.
122
When I was a kid, I was going to school, I was coming back every holiday to Gando.
123
By the end of every holiday, I have to say goodbye to the community, going from one compound to another one.
124
All women in Gando will open their clothes like that and give me the last penny.
125
In my culture, this is a symbol of deep affection.
126
As a seven-year-old guy, I was impressed.
127
I was just asking my mother one day, why all these women love me so much?
128
She just answered, they are contributing to pay for your education,
129
hoping that you will be successful and one day come back and help improve the quality of life of the community.
130
I hope now that I was able to make my community proud through this work.
131
And I hope I was able to prove you the power of community.
132
and to show you that architecture can be inspiring for communities to shape their own future.
133
Merci beaucoup.

练习技巧
在观看这个视频时，你可以通过“影子跟读”技术提升英语发音。由于视频讲话者的语速较慢，适合初学者进行模仿。以下是一些有效的练习技巧：
- 首先，观看视频并专注于理解内容，注意讲话者的语调和重音。
- 然后，将视频暂停，重复讲话者所说的内容，尽量模仿其语速和语调，这有助于提高你的发音。
- 进行多次“英语影子跟读”，尤其是在讲话者使用短语时，停下来练习你自己的发音。
- 用你自己的话复述视频中的关键点，确保你理解每个主要概念并能流利表达。
通过这些练习，不仅能提升你的英语口语能力，还能深入理解如何通过语言表达对社区的感知与贡献，最终提高你的英语发音。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
