Intervention Architecture

Across a range of settings - from dry river valleys of Yemen to tropical high-rise fabric of Singapore - projects selected for 10th cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture match the design with a deep commitment to place. This text explores issues raised by the projects, from ecological urbanism to cosmopolitanism in architecture.

Across a range of settings - from the dry river valleys of Yemen to tropical high-rise fabric of Singapore - the projects selected for the 10th cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture match the cutting-edge design with a deep commitment to place. Resolutely contemporary and yet firmly local, they respond to the challenges of their environments with imagination and skill. "Intervention Architecture" brings these works vividly to life through understanding photographs as well as drawings and descriptions. Texts by leading thinkers and practitioners explore the broader issues raised by the projects, from ecological urbanism to cosmopolitanism in architecture.
