  • Backgrounder Global Centre for Pluralism Mission
    Global Centre for Pluralism: Backgrounder Global Centre for Pluralism Mission: The Global Centre for Pluralism serves as a global platform for comparative analysis, education and dialogue about the choices and actions that advance and sustain pluralism. Vision: The Centre’s vision is a world where human differences are valued and diverse societies thrive. The Global Centre for Pluralism is an independent, charitable organization created to advance positive responses to the challenge of living peacefully and productively together in diverse societies. Why Canada Founded in Ottawa by His Highness the Aga Khan in partnership with the Government of Canada, the Centre takes inspiration from Canada’s experience. Respect for diversity has developed into a defining characteristic of Canada and a core element of the country’s identity. Although still a work in progress, Canada is a global leader in the way it has valued and managed its diverse multi-ethnic, multicultural fabric. The Centre’s headquarters will be a platform for analysing and sharing Canada’s ongoing pluralism journey with the world. His Highness the Aga Khan His Highness the Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (Spiritual Leader) of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims. For His Highness the Aga Khan, one manifestation of his hereditary responsibilities has been a deep engagement with development for almost 60 years. Ties with Canada: His Highness has long been interested in Canada’s experience of pluralism. His close ties with Canada go back almost four decades to the 1970s when many thousands of Asian refugees expelled from Uganda, including many Ismailis, were welcomed into Canadian society.

  • IT IS GOOD to COMBINE WEIRDNESS with TECHNICAL Engineering Establishment
    Opinion thestructuralengineer.org Hanif Kara Profi le Hanif Kara is a world-class structural engineer who is more appreciated by those outside his profession than those within it; or that, at least, is how he feels. Jackie Whitelaw talks to a man who wonders if he is too diff erent to be embraced by the establishment. Figure 2 Wishbone-shaped trusses and ETFE-clad roof for Birmingham New Street station N I E L D E I R F N A J Founding director of AKT II, Hanif Kara – a man recognised for raising the debate on engineering of the world rather than the world of engineering – has a phrase to describe how many of his peers perceive him. ‘It is often said that I am weird and diff erent,’ he reports. On one hand, he’s happy with that – clients, universities and non-engineering organisations notice and see these as positive attributes; on the other, there’s an element of disappointment as he feels his success is generally less understood by the "IT IS GOOD TO COMBINE WEIRDNESS WITH TECHNICAL engineering establishment. INGENUITY IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND MAKE ‘I don’t fi t the mould that many people BUILDINGS STAND UP THAT OTHERS CAN’T" are comfortable with. But then, one of my mentors and clients, Peter Rogers, reassured Prize-winning Peckham Library in London, as me early on that it is good “to combine well as the capital’s building of the moment weirdness with technical ingenuity if you – the Bloomberg European Headquarters want to be successful and make buildings (Figure 1).

By inserting one structure into another at the Savoy Ulus clubhouse, Autoban demonstrates the power of architecture and interior design working in tandem.

    #RIBAgt Architecture.com/GuerrillaTactics2017 #RIBAgt I With thanks to: SMALL PRACTICE CONFERENCE Creative Director: David Miller, David Miller Architects AND CPD DAY Guerrilla Tactics Steering Group: Chris Bryant, alma-nac, RIBA Small Practice Group Chair Cassion Castle, Cassion Castle Architects Rachael Davidson, HÛT Architecture Barbara Kaucky, erect architecture Petra Marko, Marko&Placemakers DAY 1 Tuesday 14th November Conference Day: The Power of Small: Embracing agility in practice to affect big change In the current professional environment, when both technologies and market conditions are shifting fast, the ability to be agile and adaptable to change is the key to success. Small, light-footed practices have a unique competitive advantage over bigger organisations, which are weighed down by existing processes and drawn-out decision-making. As a small practitioner, how can you overcome the limits on your time and resources and turn size and deftness to your advantage? By becoming more efficient, is there a way that your practice can gain commercial benefit from what you are currently doing, so you retain more profit? Is it possible to not just survive, but to achieve growth and profitability and punch above your weight? The conference day is devised to highlight how small practitioners can positively manage change and adopt new beneficial ways of working. There is an emphasis on continuous bite-size improvement rather than wholescale transformation: identifying the right tools and processes that can make the difference. A session is also dedicated to areas in which architects are expanding the scope of their services, gaining additional business by increasing their offer to clients.

  • Ismaili Mail Blog Newsletter May 2007
    ISMAILI MAIL BLOG NEWSLETTER MAY 2007 Ismaili Mail Blog Newsletter http://ismailimail.wordpress.com for the Month of May 2007 Introduction & Scope Ismailimail Blog began as an individual initiative to reverberate the good news of activities in the Ismaili Community across the globe and to help gather the news under one platform for easy search and reference. The story materials are broader encompassing news about the Imamat, as well as news and achievements of Imamat Institutions and community members. In addition, there is material from a cultural perspective. Of particular focus has been Jamati engagement in civil society where ever the Jamat may be. The Blog mitigates risk by only posting vetted externally published materials, always providing references. Materials are vetted for risk to individuals, community, and by extension the Imamat institutions and the Imamat itself. The Blog allows for comments using a moderated feedback methodology, and does not allow debates or discussion forums. Being a Blog, it introduces the concept of tags, such that material can be viewed in a thematic way. The Blog intermixes with news items, existing materials from the IIS and the AKDN, such as the introduction to the community, the ethical framework, and other such articles. Given the broad community of Blog on the Internet, Ismailimail materials have also been introduced to other Blogs, and have been picked up on occasion. Given the mix of Jamati, Imamat, cultural and institutional news, it is able to introduce new target audiences to work of the institutions, and the ethics of the community. With the multitude of events happening and news thereof, with regard to the Imamat, the Imamat Institutions and the community, Ismailimail is pleased to introduce a monthly Ismailimail newsletter which summarizes the stories of the month.

  • David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat
    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Kitty Dumas 305-348-3892 / [email protected] Acclaimed British Architect to Speak at FIU David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat Miami- (March 1, 2008) - Internationally acclaimed British architect David Adjaye will speak on Friday, March 14, at 8:00 p.m. as part of The Frost Art Museum’s Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series. The lecture will be held in the Green Library, GL 100 on the University Park Campus of Florida International University, 11200 SW 8th Street, Miami. The event is free and open to the public. Adjaye will discuss the creative process that has made him one of the most sought-after architects of his generation in the UK, and brought him international recognition. His ingenious use of materials and ability to sculpt and showcase light have attracted both critical success and admiration from the public. Adjaye built his reputation in London’s East End, designing houses and studios in this older, gentrifying area, for artists and celebrities including Ewan McGregor and Juergen Teller. Known for his use of light in creating spaces that blur the lines between art and architecture, he has said that he works “more like an artist than an architect.” Last year, Adjaye celebrated what he has described as the pinnacle of his career thus far with the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver, his first major public building in the United States. The museum is recognized by the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (Leed) as one of the country’s first “green” art museums, because of Adjaye’s use of recycled materials and energy efficient systems.
