Among the seven winners of this year’s 16th Aga Khan Award for Architecture<\/a> was the Revitalisation of Historic Esna in southern Egypt<\/a>. Led by the Cairo<\/a>-based firm Takween, the project was far more than a simple restoration. It was a comprehensive renewal effort that combined deep community engagement with the preservation of both tangible and intangible heritage<\/a>. By creating thousands of jobs and restoring the historic center, the initiative offered a powerful alternative to demolition. The Aga Khan Trust lauded it as a ‘replicable model for sustainable development’.<\/p>\n
