Notes
"Aga Khan Award for Architecture"
"The aim of this publication is to share the findings of the 13th Award Cycle, spanning from 2014 to 2016." -- P. 7.
Summary
"One guiding principle of this cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture is the importance of plurality. Since its inception the Award has aimed to be inclusive and to embrace the engagement of a diverse group of users. But equally, it has sought projects that explore a plurality of methods and architectures in achieving that goal. Here, the authors of the essays use that productive tension between architecture and plurality not only to provide a framework for the examination of the projects but also to explore the intellectual and projective means by which architecture and plurality can find other common grounds in the future." -- P. 4 of cover.
