On 5th June, 1991 in Granada, Spain, King Juan Carlos of Spain and Mawlana Hazar Imam, participated in a ceremony marking the official opening of a restored fourteenth century Arab house in the historic Albaycin quarter of Granada.
The house, known as the Zafra House after one of its sixteenth century proprietors, has been restored by the Municipality of Granada with financial and professional assistance provided by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. The restoration work on this small Nasrid house, which will serve as the Centre for Historic Studies of Granada and its Kingdom, took two years.

King Juan Carlos of Spain, in July, presented Mawlana Hazar Imam with the Gold Medal for architecture at a ceremony at the Royal Palace, Madrid.
Mawlana Hazar Imam is the first recipient, outside Spain, to be given this honor by the Higher Council of Spanish architects, in recognition of his contribution to conservation and to the development of the profession.

At a ceremony at the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid, on November 22nd 1991, His Majesty King Juan Carlos conferred on Mawlana Hazar Imam the Gran Cruz del Merito Civil. The award, one of Spain's most important civil decorations, was presented on the recommendation of the country's Foreign Minister.
In 1987, King Juan Carlos presented Hazar Imam with the Medalla de Oro del Consejo Superior de Colegios de Arquitectos at a ceremony at the Royal Palace in the presence of members of the Spanish Architectural Association.

When the 1970s oil boom fueled a construction frenzy in the Islamic world, Prince Karim Aga Khan watched in dismay. Anonymous modernist buildings started sprouting across the land, and his society, he felt, was suffering from a poverty of abundance. Many of the structures were bereft of style and cultural context. It is therefore not surprising that the Aga Khan, 61, a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammed and spiritual leader of 15 million Ismaili Muslims, found a new calling.

Norwegian architecture students Per Christian Brynildsen and Jan Olav Jensen were on a student group tour of India and Nepal in 1983 when they took an unexpected detour. They left their classmates to help missionaries plan and design a lepers hospital near Chopda Taluka in the Indian state of Maharastra. Caught up with their first chance to build, the two stayed out of school for a year to complete the project. They helped the patients quarry the nearby sandstone, collect teak wood for windows and use a concrete aerator, the only power tool used in the entire hospital's construction.

ga Khan: the name shimmers with glamour. Fabulous wealth. Palatial houses. Racehorses. Yachts. Jewels. Royal prerogative. As if that weren't enough, the Aga Khan is also the most important figure in the world of architecture today. In a ceremony at the Alhambra in Spain last Friday, Prince Karim Aga Khan honored seven buildings and urban plans, winners of the 1998 Aga Khan Awards for Architecture.

Los Reyes respaldaron ayer en Granada la Fundación del Legado Andalusí, el proyecto cultural ideado en 1995 por la Junta para promover la ruta arquitectónica y cultural de la herencia andalusí. Las dudas sobre cuál debía ser su estructura han impedido hasta ahora su funcionamiento regular. Don Juan Carlos señaló a la civilización arábigoandaluza como "el germen de la Europa" de la que los españoles son "miembros y socios". Los Reyes asistieron por la tarde en el Generalife a la entrega de los prestigiosos premios de arquitectura creados por el agá Jan, amigo de ambos, en 1977.
