The Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat:
The Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat (formerly known as the Ottawa Centre for the Aga Khan Development Network) is located in Canada’s capital city Ottawa on Confederation Boulevard/Sussex Drive. This is the first building in the world that will represent the Aga Khan and his agencies. It will house meeting rooms, exhibition areas, a lecture theatre, resource center, and private apartments. Moriyama & Teshima is collaborating with Tokyo-based Maki and Associates, the design architect.
Currently in the contract document phase the building features a central Atrium with a glazed roof inspired by the beauty and form of natural crystals and has an exterior Courtyard with a raised planting bed and granite paving whose size and dimensions replicate the ‘Court of the Lions’ in the Alhambra Palace in Granada. The material palette includes crystallized glass cladding which is laid up like stone or granite.
