Marbling of Societies and Cultures Through the Built Environment
The Aga Khan Foundation (UK) is pleased to invite you to a talk by Hanif Kara OBE entitled 'Marbling of Societies and Cultures through the Built Environment'. Hanif will be joined on stage by Matt Reed, CEO of AKF UK as they discuss how the built environment impacts the quality of lives of local communities and how environmental, economic and social challenges in the 21st Century can have both a positive and detrimental effect on these communities.
Hanif, a practising structural engineer, is a Professor in Practice of Architectural Technology at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University as well as a Co-Founder & Creative Director of AKT II (a multi-award winning structural engineering firm). He was the first engineer to be appointed onto the Aga Khan Awards for Architecture’s Steering Committee and he continues to work on other high-profile projects including the Ismaili Centre in Houston.
As well as being the CEO of AKF (UK), Matt Reed is also the Global Director of Institutional Partnerships for the Aga Khan Foundation. He coordinates all AKF’s work with bilateral, multilateral, foundation and corporate partners worldwide.
The talk will take place on Monday 14th October in the Social Hall at the Ismaili Centre. Refreshments will be served from 7.45pm and the talk will commence at 8.15pm. You can register your attendance at akfeventsuk@akdn.org
We hope you can join us for an evening which will be filled with inspiring stories of how AKDN has impacted communities through improving their built environment and the future initiatives of the institution
