Pierre Fakhoury

Pierre Fakhoury's career is distinguished by the sheer scale and cultural significance of his projects. The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace is not only one of the largest churches in the world but also a symbol of Côte d'Ivoire's post-independence ambition. His ability to design structures that are both monumental and sensitive to local traditions has earned him respect across the architectural community. While formal awards are not documented, his legacy is evident in the skyline of Abidjan and the government buildings of Yamoussoukro.
