Since its establishment in 1977 by His Highness, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA) has not only recognised some of the most significant and impactful built projects worldwide, but it has also created an archive of architecture that has served Muslim communities for over four decades. The 2019 shortlist presented 20 projects that span various sectors and areas around the world, and interestingly, this year has seen the highest number of projects selected from the Gulf region, including Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and three projects in the UAE, which holds the highest number of shortlisted projects from a single country.
