These unique architectural and design projects are dedicated to bettering people’s lives and preserving their environs.
A DRAMATIC rejuvenation of a wasteland, a sleek little school that unites a divided village, an historic archaeological site, the renewal of a colonial city centre, and a stunning factory that seemingly floats on the land – the five winning projects of the 11th cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2010 are as diverse as they are unique.
Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Khalifa Al Thani, and the Aga Khan presented the awards to the five winners last Wednesday at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha.
