Aga Khan Centre, King's Cross London

The Aga Khan Centre is a building housing organisations for education, learning and cultural exchange into Muslim civilisations. It houses Aga Khan Foundation UK, Aga Khan University Institute for the study of Muslim Civilisations, and the Institute of Ismaili Studies. The large 9-floor block in the King's Cross redevelopment was designed by Fumihiko Maki, a Japanese architect. It features small gardens in Islamic tradition, some as balconies, some as roof gardens.
