The Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs in Beirut, Lebanon is among the six winners of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
It was designed by the firm of Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, who died earlier this year.
The winners were announced Monday in the historic Al-Jahili fort in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.
The awards are handed out once every three years and are meant to celebrate architecture that serves and embraces Muslim culture.
The network is headed by Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of millions of Ismaili Muslims who belong to an offshoot of the Shiite sect.
