Description

It is by now widely known in architectural circles that the Aga Khan is the world’s leading patron of architecture. The founder of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which seeks to recognize architectural achievement by and for Muslim peoples, he has also established the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard and MIT and sponsors the architectural journal MIM AR. The recently completed Faculty of Health Sciences and the Aga Khan University Hospital bring his interests in architecture and medicine into conjunction. This complex is phase one of the newly constituted Aga Khan University, based in Karachi, which will eventually have a full range of academic departments, including the possible establishment of faculties in other countries.
