Geneva, Switzerland, 13 March 2012 — The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, considered by many architects and urban planners to be the most important award for architecture, has announced a doubling of its prize to US$ 1 million.
On the occasion of the announcement, His Highness the Aga Khan remarked that the doubling of the Award is meant to assist and support the recipients, many of whom are neither well-known nor well-funded. “One of the important aspects of the Award,” he said, “is that winners should be able to reposition their future with the support they get from the Award, both professionally and institutionally.”
