 | | The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, established in 1977 by His Highness the Aga Khan, recognises examples of architectural excellence that encompass contemporary design, social housing, community improvement and development, restoration, re-use, and area conservation, as well as landscaping and environmental issues. |
 | | The Aga Khan Award for Architecture seeks out the broadest possible range of architectural interventions: contemporary design projects and those demonstrating the use of appropriate technologies are considered, as are restoration and social efforts. |
 | | In addition to submitting photographs, slides and architectural drawings, architects are asked to complete a detailed questionnaire pertaining to use, cost, environmental and climatic factors, construction materials, building schedule, structural integrity and ongoing maintenance, and, more importantly, design concepts and each project's significance within its own context. |
