The distinguished Aga Khan Award for Structure (AKAA) has introduced the listing of winners for its 2022 version.
Established in 1977 by the Aga Khan, the award for Structure promotes new constructing ideas in communities with a Muslim presence.
Since its launch 45 years in the past, round 121 tasks have acquired the AKAA award and 10,000 constructing tasks had been documented.
The fifteenth Award Cycle acknowledged 6 winners in a number of fields, from up to date design to panorama design, from India, Iran, Lebanon, and Senegal, who will share the $1 million award.
Lebanon’s renovation of the Niemeyer Visitor Home in Tripoli has been chosen with 5 different tasks, as a winner of the 2022 Aga Khan Award for Structure.
The agency behind the venture, East Structure Studio, based by Lebanese Charles Kettaneh and Nicolas Fayad, expressed that the award is “one of many largest in structure, and reveals promise for communities, innovation, and look after the atmosphere.”
Designed in 1962 by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the guesthouse was abandoned throughout Lebanon’s civil conflict in 1975.
The location in Tripoli was named Rachid Karami Worldwide Honest and added to UNESCO’s World Heritage listing. One in all its 15 pavilions, the Niemeyer Visitor Home, was remodeled right into a manufacturing facility to advertise the town’s wooden business.
