 1983 Aga Khan Award for Architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The eleven schemes premiated were retained by the jury, which was satisfied that they, in addition to their individual merit, collectively represented a sampling of the geographical range of Islam, from Mali to Malaysia, the problems of rural and urban populations, and of widely varying incomes in very different environments.
The jury was in agreement that the projects, eleven from nine countries, fairly (though of course not completely) represent the richness and variety of the architectures of Islam.
The jurors believe the projects should not be seen as equivalent in social importance or sophistication or elegance or technological innovation or depth of poetic feeling, but rather, as the 1980 master jury put it, as reflecting "the present stage of transition, experimentation, and continued search in Muslim societies.

The Fellows in “Elements of Architecture,” whose middle and high school teaching ranges from art and math to social studies and literature, exhibited a truly remarkable sense of architecture.
Even more significantly they devised means of conveying that sensibility to their young students under teaching conditions which at first seemed to be appalling, i.e.
All the Fellows realized that architecture was a cultural expression of life beginning with the body and going on to claim the landscape with buildings, markers, and gardens.

 Modernism
In architecture the Japanese inspired bungalow designs and small gardens of Charles and Henry Green are examples of the California style blended with the Arts and Crafts style (e.g., the Blacker and Gamble [1908-9] houses in Pasadena, California).
In the 1960s and 1970s some examples of modern architecture and landscape architecture had lost their appeal as the forms were being recycled in uninteresting ways.
Garden design and related scholarly activity became avant-garde, and the term green architecture was used as a substitute name for gardens and the landscape (the term green architecture currently relates to environmentally sound architecture).

 Development and attributes of z/Architecture
Nearly as important was to create an architecture which made it easy for programmers to selectively exploit a subset of the new capabilities without having to totally reprogram in order to use all of the new capabilities.
One approach for extending an instruction-set architecture to 64-bit functionality is to create a new execution mode in which all addresses are 64 bits and all register operands are 64 bits.
To avoid this complexity, it was determined that the architectural mode had to be an attribute of the multiprocessor configuration rather than an attribute of each processor (another reason for not using a control-register bit).

 Integrated Learning Architectures
An integrated architecture is the computational realisation of a theory in terms of a fixed form, variable contents program that can be instantiated in a systematic and predictable way to achieve a range of systems the behavior of which exhibits a range of aspects of intelligence.
We propose to analyse functional architectures in terms of the knowledge level architectures that they can realise and, the other way around, to derive ways in which a desired knowledge level architecture can be realised in a given functional architecture.
A knowledge level description of an architecture is a description in terms of the purpose of the architecture and how this purpose is fulfilled by a task decomposition, methods and knowledge.
