The Aga Khan Award for Architecture for the year 2025 was announced on 2 September. While India, which has won the award only six times to date, didn’t make the final shortlist of 15 countries (19 studio projects were shortlisted from 369 submitted this year), South Asia has scored big with Bangladesh and Pakistan among the seven winners of this edition. The other awardees include Palestine, China, Egypt and two winners from Iran. The winning projects will share the $1 million award, one of the largest in architecture. The award ceremony will be held on 15 September in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, for the very first time. Organisations such as the Aga Khan Foundation have worked consistently to preserve India’s rich Islamic architectural heritage, including the latest in 2024, a state-of-the-art sunken museum, developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in partnership with the Archaeological Survey of India, at the iconic 16th-century Humayun’s Tomb Complex in Delhi.
