Islamic Cemetery

Designed by Bernardo Bader Architects, the new cemetery serves the local Muslim community in industrialized western Austria, where the younger descendents of immigrants wanted a community burial place, rather than following the tradition of returning the dead to former homelands.

The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, given every three years, announced the latest winning projects at a press conference in Lisbon, where a ceremony celebrating the honors was to be held at the medieval Castle of St. George, overlooking the Portuguese capital. The prizes, which were first awarded in 1980, are intended to recognize design excellence and positive impact on communities that have a significant Muslim population. Both historic restoration and new construction are eligible for consideration. This year's winners were selected from a short list of 20.
