About 200 people recently gathered at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat in Ottawa for the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) presentation of its highest honour – its 2013 Gold Medal – to His Highness the Aga Khan.
“The Gold Medal was established to recognize a person of science or letters related to architecture and the arts,” said Paul E. Frank, FRAIC, RAIC President of the Board of Directors. “The selection of His Highness the Aga Khan marks the first time in more than 30 years that a non-architect has been chosen. It recognizes the extraordinary achievements of His Highness in using architecture as an instrument to further peaceful and sustainable community development around the world.”
