Every three years, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture is given to building concepts that "address the needs and aspirations of societies across the world". Now in its 14th cycle, the six 2019 winners have been selected by a master jury of nine architects and scholars, including David Chipperfield, Elizabeth Diller, and Ali M. Malkawi, as well as David Adjaye, who served on the steering committee. The projects were selected from a shortlist of twenty buildings that represented sixteen countries and the finalists will share a $1 million prize with all of those involved in the realisation of the project: architects, engineers, artisans, and builders.
