Intellect is pleased to announce that the International Journal of Islamic Architecture has won the The Mohamed Makiya Prize for Architecture (Middle Eastern Architectural Personality of the Year 2019).

 

This award is given to individuals or organisations that have made significant contributions to the advancement of architecture in a specific period time.

 

“The IJIA was celebrated for its courage and stamina in focusing on Islamic architecture at such a high academic level,” said the judges. “It is one of the few, if not only, journals of its kind. And it brings together multidisciplinary, international scholars into its realm, as it aspires to a high standard of excellence. Its impact on practitioners and researchers contributes to creating a critical platform on the subject.”
