Publisher's Synopsis
The release of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture every three years is an important moment for the architecture world.
This publication presents the twenty shortlisted projects of 2022, including the six recipients of the 2020-22 cycle of the Award. The book includes scholarly essays from members of the master jury and steering committee. Together, the project presentations and the contributed essays guide the reader to contemplate an architectural question of increasing urgency in our current times of crisis: how to build ethically for our shared global future.
Contributions include a text on the optimism of humanity by Souleymane Bachir Diagne; a contextualization of Modern Architecture in the Muslim World by Sibel Bozdogan; Kazi Khaleed Ashraf writes on the perspective of the dialogical; Nasser Rabbat shares notes on architecture as a humanist empire; a Salon des Refusés by Nader Tehrani.
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture's mandate not only rewards architects but also identifies municipalities, builders, clients, artisans and engineers who have played essential roles in the realization of a project. This publication thus presents the projects from various viewpoints alongside detailed and up-to-date images and descriptions.
