Space For Freedom

This is a survey of winning projects of The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, spanning the period 1977-1986. It includes both new buildings and historic site developments.


This book chronicles the first decade and the achievements of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA), with special reference to the activities of the third cycle (1984-1986), and presents the winning projects of the 1986 Award. The title Space for Freedom was chosen to underline the commitment of the Award, in all its activities, to create an intellectual space where imagination can soar and the pursuit of relevance and architectural excellence can proceed in myriad ways, transcending a single architectural style or school of thought.
