During the 2023-24 academic year, students at Mumbai’s Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA), under the guidance of the Institute’s Design Cell evaluated the six projects in India that have been awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The buildings were evaluated for their impact on architectural language, on their life after the Award, on their relevance to contemporary issues concerning the built environment and how the Master Jury criteria might be applied to them today.
A specially prepared compilation documented and analysed the following projects: Mughal Sheraton Hotel, Agra (1980), Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Ahmedabad (1992), Aranya Community Housing, Indore (1995), Lepers Hospital, Lasur (1998), Slum Networking of Indore City (1998) and Vidhan Bhavan, Bhopal (1998).
