Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2022 - Inclusive Architecture The
release of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture every three years is
an enormously important moment for the architecture world. The
projects recognized by this Award represent the vanguard of
thinking and practice in architecture that goes beyond the regular
scope of building, planning and preservation through its strong
impact on the needs and aspirations of societies. This publication
presents the twenty shortlisted projects, including the six
recipients of the 2020-22 cycle of the Award. The Aga Khan Award
for Architecture's mandate is different from that of many other
architecture prizes: it 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. The acclaimed, interdisciplinary master jury and
steering committee of this cycle of the Aga Khan Award for
Architecture that determines the projects presented include David
Chipperfield, Francis Kere, Anna Lacaton, Marina Tabassum, and
Sarah M. Whiting, to name but a few. Scholarly essays across
various disciplines from members of the master jury and steering
committee round out the publication. Contributions include a text
on the optimism of humanity by Souleymane Bachir Diagne, director
of the Institute of African Studies, Columbia University, and a
contextualization of Modern Architecture in the Muslim World by
Sibel Bozdogan of Boston University. Kazi Khaleed Ashraf,
director-general of the Bengal Institute for Architecture,
Landscapes and Settlements, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, writes on the
perspective of the dialogical, while Nasser Rabbat, the Aga Khan
Professor at MIT, shares notes on architecture as a humanist
empire. The texts also include a Salon des Refuses by Nader
Teherani, founding principal of Boston-based architecture firm
NADAAA. The texts, which come from a wide range of geographies, are
informative and descriptive, often striking an emotional note.
Together with the project presentations, the publication thereby
guides the reader through a contemplation of an architectural
question of increasing urgency in our current times of crisis: how
to build ethically for our shared global future. With contributions
by Kazi Khaleed Ashraf, Sibel Bozdogan, Souleymane Bachir Diagne,
Farrokh Derakhshani, Nasser Rabbat, Nader Teherani, and Sarah M.
Whiting.
