Aga Khan Program in Islamic Architecture at Harvard and MIT

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture focuses on the study and advancement of Islamic architecture and art. Established in 1979 by His Highness the Aga Khan through a unique partnership between Harvard and MIT, the program supports the work of graduate and postdoctoral students immersed in the relation of Islamic cultures to landscape architecture, art history, architectural theory, and related disciplines.

Working with our partner, Ink Design, Libretto helped shape a piece combining information for prospective students with faculty profiles and exquisite imagery from the program’s archives. Our work on the program booklet continued a creative collaboration that began with a poster and brochure developed to promote another of His Highness the Aga Khan’s initiatives – ArchNet, the world’s largest online architectural library.

"Working with Libretto on the brochure was a creative process that
challenged my own understanding of the program. Seen through fresh
eyes, the program emerged as a vital and vibrant force. Libretto
captured the essence of a very complex academic enterprise."
- Shiraz Allibhai, Managing Director, ArchNet
