The Timeless Dimension in Architecture
March 23, 2015 |
World renowned architect Abdel-Wahed El-Wakil is to speak at Texas A&M University on March 23, 2015 at the Preston Geren Auditorium at 5:45pm.
El-Wakil is considered by many as the foremost contemporary authority in Islamic architecture. His work was described by Leon Krier, as the “light after a long, dark tunnel, the shining tip of an iceberg, the precious trickle of an underground stream which has at last broken to the surface. In his Vision of Britain, A Personal View of Architecture, Prince Charles describes El-Wakil as an architect of “considerable skills,” and as one of Hassan Fathy’s “most gifted students”.
El-Wakil has received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture twice and most recently he was named the 2009 Richard H. Driehaus Prize laureate.
Join us in this remarkable event on March 23 at 5:45pm.
