SUMMARY:Ismaili Center Houston Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Ismaili Center will be the seventh in a series of iconic cultural buildings\, His Highness the Aga Khan\, has commissioned over the past four decades in the United Kingdom\, Canada\, Portugal\, United Arab Emirates\, and Tajikistan. As ambassadorial buildings around the world\, they are symbolic of the Ismaili community’s presence\, pluralistic outlook\, and ethos of volunteering. \nSituated on Allen Parkway and Montrose Boulevard\, the Ismaili Center will be a venue for educational\, cultural\, and social events\, to encourage understanding and facilitate the sharing of perspectives across peoples of diverse backgrounds\, faiths\, and traditions. The Center’s design includes an education wing\, a black box theater\,a cafe\, flexible exhibition spaces\, conference rooms\, and space for quiet contemplation and prayer\, as well as serving as the administrative headquarters of the Ismaili community in the USA. \nThe Center is designed with a compact footprint\, leaving roughly 10 acres of the site to be used as gardens. \nThe Ismaili Council for the USA awarded DLR Group|WRL the role of executive architect and architect of record through an international design competition that included design architect\, London-based Farshid Moussavi\, and landscape architect Nelson Bird Woltz. \nJoin us for one of the Wednesday\, March 19 tours. Each tour will be approximately one hour long. This tour requires attendees to wear a hard hat\, glasses\, and gloves. Please indicate\, when registering\, if you can provide your own or if you need a set. \nAIA Credit: 1.0 HSW
