The Aga Khan Trust for Culture has recently restored the 12.5 hectare Chihilsitoon Garden in Kabul, Afghanistan. Incorporating 10,200m² of modernised or newly constructed rammed earth buildings, the project now provides high-quality facilities for visitors. Renovation work began in early 2015 and incorporated the existing sport and recreation facilities already on site. The landscaping was further enhanced through a network of formal paths and trails that link a variety of spatial experiences, including family picnic areas, an outdoor amphitheatre, and the historic formal promenade, which features the original marble fountains.
