The Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA) is an architectural prize established by Aga Khan IV in 1977. It aims to identify and reward architectural concepts that successfully address the needs and aspirations of Muslim societies in the fields of contemporary design, social housing, community development and improvement, restoration, reuse and area conservation, as well as landscape design and improvement of the environment."[http://www.architectureweek.com/2002/0109/news_1-1.html Aga Khan Award for Architecture] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120210100534/http://www.architectureweek.com/2002/0109/news_1-1.html |date=10 February 2012 }}."

History

Prince Karim Aga Khan IV established the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1977.{{Cite book|title=Aga Khan Award for Architecture|last1=Blair|first1=Sheila S.|last2=Bloom|first2=Jonathan M.|date=2 July 2009|publisher=Oxford University Press|series=Oxford Art Online|doi = 10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.t2082051}} At the time, very few architectural prizes of international scope existed.{{Cite journal|last=YILMAZ KARAMAN|first=Özgül|date=2016|title=Acoustic Comfort in Lecture Halls: The Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Architecture|journal=MEGARON / Yıldız Technical University, Faculty of Architecture e-Journal|doi=10.5505/megaron.2015.58076|issn=1309-6915|doi-access=free}} It has been noted that the award emerged from "the Aga Khan's sadness at the state of architecture in the Islamic world of the 1970s",{{Cite web|url=https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200101/shaking.up.architecture.htm|title=Saudi Aramco World : Shaking Up Architecture|website=archive.aramcoworld.com|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040719/https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200101/shaking.up.architecture.htm|url-status=live}} and his conviction of the importance that the built environment holds in shaping a society's quality of life.{{Citation|title=RWU Architecture Fall Lecture Series Farrokh Derakshani Sept. 13, 2017|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mssauQewwoI|language=en|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=24 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200424102216/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mssauQewwoI&gl=US&hl=en|url-status=live}}

Twenty years earlier, upon inheriting the seat of Imamat of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, the Aga Khan had become responsible for the wellbeing of the Ismaili community, which mostly live in the developing countries of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.{{Cite book|title=Under the eaves of architecture : the Aga Khan : builder and patron|last=Jodidio, Philip.|date=2007|publisher=Prestel|isbn=9783791337814|location=Munich|oclc=166214221}} He was concerned at the absence of design thinking that could respond to specific challenges in those parts of the world.

A relentless push for development had led to cheap copies of foreign architectural designs that held no connection or respect for the places where they were being built.{{cite speech|author=Aga Khan IV|title=Asia Society, Islamic architecture: a revival|event=Built environment of Islam today|date=25 September 1979|location=New York, USA|url=https://www.akdn.org/akdn/speech/his-highness-aga-khan/asia-society-islamic-architecture-revival|access-date=29 August 2019|language=en}} The Aga Khan also worried about the rapid disappearance of centuries of distinctive architectural tradition that embodied a continuity of Islamic values, resulting in an absence of "architecture that could speak to and about the Muslim world".

These problems were most acutely felt during the planning of the Aga Khan University and teaching hospital in Karachi. Questions raised in this process – including the need for a contemporary visual language for the Islamic built environment, as well as for architects trained in modern technologies and sensitive to the diversity, values and dignity of Muslim culture – would inform the creation of the Award.

= Reviving creativity =

By the 1970s, the decline of the built environment of Muslim societies and loss of cultural identity had become apparent to others as well. From the outset the Aga Khan recruited a number of people to help define the award. Among the first were Oleg Grabar a professor at the Harvard Department of Fine Arts,{{Cite web|url=https://haa.fas.harvard.edu/files/history-artsarchitecture/files/oleg_grabar_memorial_minute.pdf|title=Oleg Grabar Memorial Minutes|last1=Graham|last2=Lentz|last3=Roxburgh|last4=Necipoğlu|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=10 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200410020708/https://haa.fas.harvard.edu/files/history-artsarchitecture/files/oleg_grabar_memorial_minute.pdf|url-status=live}} William Porter then Dean of the MIT School of Architecture and Planning,{{Cite web|url=https://sap.mit.edu/article/standard/former-dean-bill-porter-retires|title=Former Dean Bill Porter Retires {{!}} MIT School of Architecture + Planning|website=sap.mit.edu|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040729/https://sap.mit.edu/article/standard/former-dean-bill-porter-retires|url-status=live}} architectural historian Renata Holod, and Pakistani architect Hasan Udhin Khan. They were joined by others, including Nader Ardalan, Hugh Casson, Charles Correa, and Hassan Fathy.

Members of the team travelled widely – from Morocco to Indonesia. They debated the cultural role of architecture, the parameters of the award and how to structure its processes. The award was shaped by consultations held with chambers of architects and ministries of urbanism and culture. The first Aga Khan Award for Architecture Seminar was held during April 1978 in Aiglemont, Gouvieux, France.{{Cite web|url=https://archnet.org/publications/5927|title=Opening Remarks|website=Archnet|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040718/https://archnet.org/publications/5927|url-status=live}} Subsequent seminars have been held in Istanbul, Jakarta, Fez, Amman, Beijing, Dakar, Sana'a, Cairo, Granada and elsewhere.{{Cite web|url=http://archnet.org/collections/57|title=Collections {{!}} Publication Series {{!}} Architectural Transformations in the Islamic World|website=Archnet|access-date=2020-01-18|archive-date=31 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200131235912/http://archnet.org/collections/57|url-status=live}}

In seeking to define what "Islamic architecture" meant, it became apparent that no singular definition was to be found. Instead, the seminars brought to light the diversity of what constituted Islamic architecture. This was recognized as a strength and a dormant source of creativity that the Award would seek to revive.

= Knowledge from architecture =

Unlike conventional prizes that applaud the accomplishments of individual architects, the Aga Khan Award selects projects that improve the quality of life and recognizes all those who have a role in realizing them. This includes clients, builders, artisans and decision makers.{{Cite web|url=https://alay.am/p/1o6x|title=The Revitalization of Muharraq in Bahrain is among the projects shortlisted for the Aga Khan Award for Architecture this year|website=Alayam.com|language=ar|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=21 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230821183328/https://www.alayam.com/alayam/local/792094/News.html|url-status=live}} Architecture is viewed as a collaborative endeavour in which architects play a role.

In the four decades since its establishment, the Award has documented more than 9,000 projects and actively contributed to the architectural discourse.{{Cite web|url=https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/11227-architectural-diplomacy?v=preview|title=Architectural diplomacy|website=www.architecturalrecord.com|language=en|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040806/https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/11227-architectural-diplomacy?v=preview|url-status=live}} It has promoted the view that architecture is deeply connected with society and can respond to issues that are of local, national and even international relevance.

The Award has brought together practitioners from different geographies and fields like philosophy, social sciences, and the arts, who have served as jurors, steering committee members, technical reviewers, or attended seminars.

Award process

The Aga Khan Award runs in three-year cycles and is governed by a steering committee chaired by the Aga Khan. A new committee is constituted each cycle to establish the eligibility criteria for projects, provide thematic direction with reference to current concerns, and to develop plans for the long-term future of the award. The committee is also responsible for seminars and field visits, the award ceremony, publications and exhibitions. At the commencement of each cycle, the steering committee is convened to select a master jury{{Cite book|title=Under the Eaves of Architecture The Aga Khan: Builder and Patron|last=Jodidio|first=Philip|publisher=Prestel; First edition (25 Aug 2007)|year=2007|isbn=978-3791337814}} that is diverse in its perspectives and has in past cycles included sociologists, philosophers, artists as well as architects.{{Cite web|url=https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/3931-aga-khan-award-winners-for-2007-named?v=preview|title=Aga Khan Award Winners for 2007 Named|website=www.architecturalrecord.com|language=en|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829042252/https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/3931-aga-khan-award-winners-for-2007-named?v=preview|url-status=live}}

In each cycle, submissions are received from a global network of approximately 500 nominators – women and men who live in Muslim societies and whose identities are kept anonymous throughout the award process.{{Cite web|url=https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200101/shaking.up.architecture.htm|title=Saudi Aramco World : Shaking Up Architecture|website=archive.aramcoworld.com|access-date=28 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040719/https://archive.aramcoworld.com/issue/200101/shaking.up.architecture.htm|url-status=live}} Independent nominations are also accepted in accordance with the award's published guidelines and procedures. Several hundred submissions are typically received in each cycle, and the master jury narrows the field to a short-list.

Professional, technical reviewers visit the short-listed projects to understand the living impact of each one on people and the surrounding area. They prepare exhaustive documentation, providing fact-based analysis for the master jury's consideration.

Over the decades, many notable figures have served on the award's steering committees and master juries, including Homi K. Bhabha, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Glenn Lowry, Fumihiko Maki, Jacques Herzog, Ricardo Legoretta and Farshid Moussavi.{{Cite web|url=https://www.akdn.org/press-release/steering-committee-aga-khan-awards-twelfth-cycle-announced|title=Steering Committee for Aga Khan Award's twelfth cycle announced {{!}} Aga Khan Development Network|website=www.akdn.org|access-date=29 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040726/https://www.akdn.org/press-release/steering-committee-aga-khan-awards-twelfth-cycle-announced|url-status=live}} The award is administered from Geneva as part of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and Farrokh Derakhshani has served as Director of the Award since 1982.{{Cite web|url=https://www.akdn.org/press-release/steering-committee-aga-khan-awards-twelfth-cycle-announced|title=Steering Committee for Aga Khan Award's twelfth cycle announced {{!}} Aga Khan Development Network|website=www.akdn.org|access-date=28 August 2019|archive-date=29 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829040726/https://www.akdn.org/press-release/steering-committee-aga-khan-awards-twelfth-cycle-announced|url-status=live}}

Promotion

The Aga Khan Foundation funded the television series Architects on the Frontline which was about entries to the competition. The media watchdog Ofcom criticised BBC World News for breaking United Kingdom broadcasting rules with the series, which praised the competition; viewers were not informed that it was sponsored content.{{cite news|website=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33971919|title=News channels breached sponsorship rules, Ofcom says|date=18 August 2015|access-date=18 August 2015|archive-date=18 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150818130051/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33971919|url-status=live}}

Two themes were noted as areas of focus in this cycle: Revival of past vernacular traditions, and projects that reflect the efforts of individual patrons and of non-governmental organisations in improving society.

Projects such as the Great Omari Mosque and the Rehabilitation of Asilah seek to reconstruct and preserve heritage buildings for continued use, demonstrating the significance of these spaces within their communities. Meanwhile, the Grameen Bank Housing Programme and Sidi el-Aloui Primary School apply architectural solutions to address current socioeconomic issues.

=Seventh (1996–1998)=

The 1998 award ceremony took place at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The Master Jury selected seven winning projects of the 424 presented. During this cycle, special emphasis was placed on projects that responded creatively to the emerging forces of globalization. Issues such as demographic pressure, environmental degradation, and the crisis of the nation-state, and the changes in lifestyle, cultural values, and relationships among social groups and between governments and people at large they prompted, were considered.

Of the winning projects, the rehabilitation of the Old City of Hebron and Slum Networking of Indore City sought to reclaim community space in environments strained by social, physical and environmental degradation. The Lepers Hospital created a sustainable and dignified shelter for a marginalized segment of society. The remaining projects were recognized for their contribution in evolving an architectural vocabulary in response to contemporary social and environmental challenges.{{cite book |editor=Cynthia C.
