This is the conclusion of a two-part story written by journalist Ayesha Daya for AKDN and TheIsmaili.org, exploring the purpose and impact of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Read the first part here.
During the 36 years since its establishment, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture has become a forum for a professional and academic discussion of developments affecting the built environment. The debates that take place during the seminars, the breadth of articles published, and the variety of projects honoured point at the real purpose of the award, which is a commitment to seek out the best solutions for architecture to improve the world Muslim communities live in, rather than simply recognising a job well done.
