      When it comes to building, concrete has earned a reputation of being rock solid and durable. But why should Africa use material it cannot afford or maintain?

       

      Diebedo Francis Kéré from Burkina Faso says mud and clay will do just fine, and sometimes even better! With his revolutionary vision, he has won prestigious awards worldwide.

       

      Radio Netherlands Worldwide's Alberta Opuku asked him what is wrong with concrete.
