An exhibition of projects honoured by one of the world’s most prestigious and distinctive architecture awards opened on 14 September. The exhibition was hosted by the University of Auckland to coincide with the 2018 New Zealand Festival of Architecture. The George Fraser Gallery features the shortlisted and winning projects from the 2016 cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

On Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 September, Open House London celebrates the city’s motley assortment of architecture, with medieval walls jostling against post-modernist facades. People will be able to dip into some of the world’s most interesting buildings. One of the 10 best places to explore is the Aga Khan Centre, home to the Institute of Ismaili Studies and the Aga Khan University’s Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilisations. Designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki, it is an intricately layered building close to Kings Cross station. The centre is structured into three distinct layers, topped by a ‘crown’ of six gardens inspired by different regions of the Muslim world.
