His Highness the Aga Khan
Preface to Treasures of the Aga Khan Museum: Architecture in Islamic Arts Exhibition Catalogue, 2011
In 2012, a two-day Aga Khan Award for Architecture seminar on planning practices was held at the Urban Redevelopment Centre in Singapore. City planners, academics and architects from around the world discussed the integration of mobility, energy, water and waste disposal into planning practice; the role of educational institutions in the life of a city; and the effects of art, culture and sport on planning strategies.
The exhibition "Treasures of the Aga Khan Museum: Architecture in Islamic Arts" was held at the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore. It featured framed paintings and objects from the Aga Khan Museum’s collections. Download the catalogue.
