Aga Khan Award for Architecture Announces 2022 Shortlist
20 projects in 16 countries, from Indonesia to Cape Verde
Geneva, Switzerland, 2 June 2022 ? The Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA) today announced 20 shortlisted projects for the 2022 Award cycle. The projects will compete for a share of the US$ 1 million prize, one of the largest in architecture.
The 20 shortlisted projects were selected by an independent Master Jury from a pool of 463 projects nominated for the 15th Award Cycle (2020-2022).
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1977 to identify and encourage building concepts that successfully address the needs and aspirations of communities in which Muslims have a significant presence. Since it was launched 45 years ago, 121 projects have received the award and nearly 10,000 building projects have been documented. The AKAA?s selection process emphasises architecture that not only provides for people?s physical, social and economic needs, but that also stimulates and responds to their cultural aspirations. Photographic representations of the 20 shortlisted entries will go on display in an exhibition in King?s Cross, London from 2 June to 30 June, as part of the King?s Cross Outdoor Art Project, coinciding with the London Architecture Festival.
