Argo Contemporary Art Museum and Cultural Centre | Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2022

Aga Khan Award for Architecture 2022 winner - Argo Contemporary Art Museum and Cultural Centre, Iran.
Tehran’s first independent contemporary art museum is housed in a more-than-100-year-old former brewery that had been abandoned for decades. The Iranian-Austrian architect’s aim was to create a dialogue between old and new by inserting a new foundation and metal structure to support floating concrete floors and roofs independently of the original exterior walls, thus allowing generous ceiling heights (up to 12 metres) for the climate-controlled galleries.
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture seeks to identify and encourage building concepts that successfully address the needs and aspirations of societies across the world, in which Muslims have a significant presence.
