i think this is a really good initiative, what i understood is we should modernise and stay at the roots of our old architecture but why is it only specified muslim architecture like there is many forms architecture and we should mdernise the old architecture of the places so it is related to that place and also to the time and century. yaa i dont know how to write well i m 15yr old

The Aga Khan Award is not limited to Islamic architecture because Islamic architecture is a diverse phenomenon. It is awarded to exceptional projects that aim to improve the quality of life in the Muslim world.
