A legacy of high-calibre architecture links the Aga Khan to Canada.
By: Trevor Boddy/canadianarchitect.com
Convergence is a two-way process–from the Canadian Ismailis, many of whom arrived here under duress, but also from us native-born Canadians who have lived and worked with them as they flourished like no other community of new immigrants, ever. The story here is of a bridging friendship and mutual respect. Over the past 40 years, there has been a strong link between the Shia Ismaili Muslims led by His Highness the Aga Khan and this country, a true convergence of pluralist values and respect for the diversity of culture. This is perhaps the most important reason for the Aga Khan’s receipt of the RAIC Gold Medal.

Mashallah. So lovely to see outside media recognizing imam work, and also the contributing of an Ismaili brother Architect Farouk in doing mowla building designs.
