The Aga Khan Award for Architecture—the world’s most generous, and arguably most prestigious architectural award—has announced finalists for its 12th 3-year cycle.
The awards go to the parts of the world where Islam has a significant presence. That generally means the hotter parts, so it’s natural that they are finding designs with innovative ways of providing shade and focusing breeze. Alternatives to energy-hungry air conditioning, in other words.
