The Aga Khan Foundation Canada will be offering tours of its magnificent new building on Sussex Drive in April.

AGAKHANTours will take place Wednesday April 1, April 15, and April 29, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Also on Saturday April 11 and April 25 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. More details HERE.

The building, designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki, was recently reviewed in Architectural Record.

The American magazine noted that “the rectilinear building’s most dramatic feature is a multi-faceted glass dome with triangular fibreglass shades that control sunlight. The dome’s shape is a direct response to the Aga Khan’s request for a building inspired by rock crystal.”
