This book presents the twelve projects premiated in the sixth cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. These awards are different from those given in preceding years, thus the book was a challenge from the start. In order to present what constitutes this new thinking about architecture and its content today, it was necessary to rethink the format and content of this book and its many audiences.
