The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture (AKPIA), administered jointly by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was established in 1979 to promote research and teaching and develop information resources in Islamic art, architecture, and urbanism. His Highness the Aga Khan has given each institution an endowment that will permanently support instruction, research facilities, and student aid in those disciplines. It is intended that the study of Islamic architecture, visual arts, urban design, conservation, and urban rehabilitation will continually respond to the cultural and educational needs of a diverse Muslim world.
The professors, scholarships, library resources and services, and other academic aid that the Aga Khan's gift has provided have been incorporated into the appropriate department, division, or school at Harvard and MIT. Other activities are administered directly by the Program and its AKPIA Central Office.
