HOUSTON | Ismaili Center Houston
Website: https://the.ismaili/ismaili-center-houston
Architect: Farshid Moussavi Landscape Architect: Nelson Byrd Wolz General Contractor: McCarthy Was somewhat surprised I (or someone else) hadn't created a thread for this project given it's size and prominence in the local community. Project in brief: Since the mid 2000's, the Aga Khan Foundation had been searching for a location to develop an Ismaili Center in or around the Houston area. The city and the metro hold the largest concentration of Ismaili Muslims in the United States. While there was speculation about potential development in suburban areas, northwest of the city, the Foundation ultimately purchased a site along Allen Parkway at Montrose Boulevard west of Downtown and directly across the street across from a stretch of Buffalo Bayou Park. On April 12, 2008, the creation of the Center's location in Houston was announced during a visit by the Aga Khan to the US. While there was no movement on the land immediately afterward, about three years later in 2011 the local Ismaili Muslim community and other donors, supported the installation of the 7-piece Tolerance sculptures by Jaume Plensa, immediately across the street from the site. In 2018, the intention to create the Center was re-affirmed. In 2019, it was announced that Farshid Moussavi had won a design contest for the site's development. In 2021, the actual design was revealed. It is expected to be complete in late 2024 and at that time, it will be the first such center in the US, the third in North America and the seventh globally.
