This shot of the geometric roof structure over the atrium is another upload from last months London Flickr Group photowalk. Our afternoon started with an exclusive tour of the Fumihiko Maki designed Aga Khan Centre at Kings Cross.
This month's photowalk has now been confirmed for June 28th, more details here : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577219...
These free photowalks are usually about every 4-6 weeks so keep an eye on the group for details of upcoming events.
From the Aga Khan's website, "The Aga Khan Centre is a place of education, knowledge, cultural exchange and insight into Muslim civilisations. The building is the UK home for three organisations founded by His Late Highness Aga Khan IV, the hereditary spiritual leader of the Shi‘a Ismaili Muslims.
This building is designed to represent the values of openness, dialogue and respect for different viewpoints (pluralism). The architecture incorporates a collection of gardens, courtyards and terraces that provides an insight into the diversity and influence of Islamic landscape design around the world and through history.
The building was designed by Fumihiko Maki, one of Japan’s most distinguished contemporary architects. The Centre is primarily designed for an academic community, with places for students, scholars and staff to share ideas and work together alongside flexible teaching spaces and quiet research areas."
