Inclusive Architecture
Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2022
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, awarded every three years, is a significant event in the architectural community. The recognized projects exemplify innovative thinking and practice that extend beyond traditional building, planning, and preservation, addressing societal needs and aspirations. This publication showcases the twenty shortlisted projects, including six award recipients from the 2020-2022 cycle. Distinct from many architecture awards, the Aga Khan Award not only honors architects but also acknowledges the contributions of municipalities, builders, clients, artisans, and engineers involved in project realization. The publication offers diverse perspectives on the projects, complemented by detailed images and descriptions. The esteemed master jury and steering committee for this cycle includes notable figures such as David Chipperfield, Francis Kéré, Anna Lacaton, Marina Tabassum, and Sarah M. Whiting. Scholarly essays from committee members enhance the publication, featuring insights like Souleymane Bachir Diagne's reflections on human optimism, Sibel Bozdogan's contextualization of Modern Architecture in the Muslim World, Kazi Khaleed Ashraf's exploration of dialogical perspectives, and Nasser Rabbat's thoughts on architecture as a humanist empire.
