Islamic Architecture

“A society without a strong sense of its own identity has time and again in human history proved to be well on the way to decay….For five centuries, Muslim architecture led the world in concept, in design, in finish and even in structural ingenuity. Millions of non-Muslims every year visit Islamic monuments in the Middle East, in the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent, and in North Africa. And yet what is being done today to develop our own Islamic architecture of the twenty-first century? Practically nothing.”

His Highness the Aga Khan, Sindh, Pakistan, February 6, 1970
