    Extractions: The history of Polish architecture before 1939 was not very different from the general trends observable in European architecture of the time. The split from that tradition came only at the end of the Second World War when the country was drawn into the Soviet sphere of influence as it tried to rebuild itself from the devastation of war. The subsequent revolution in Polish architecture could take place only after the democratic transformations following 1989. During the first period, inferior projects from several years earlier, and still using primitive technology, were completed. At the same time, the first "imported" designs were built, the work of second- or third-ranked Western architects deliberately described as the "paratroopers". In those days glass curtain walling was king, and it concealed the paucity of formal resolutions. During this period hardly any public buildings were built and in commercial architecture the drive for quick profits and the budgetary savings associated with that were more important that quality.

The study of architecture in the United Arab Emirates revealed the impact of changing economic wealth on cultural and social aspects which, in turn, influenced the shape of the built-environment. Advanced construction technology, modern building materials, imported expertise and economic wealth all contributed to the rapid change in architecture. Above all, the desire to follow the western path of progress and development was the main factor for change. For years, traditional architecture was regarded as backward and undesirable. Recently, a consciousness of the importance of heritage and traditions was ignited by His Highness Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan instructions to recognize the historical past of the United Arab Emirates. New Buildings Imitating Traditional Style A new trend to utilize the architectural heritage of the past is encouraged in all aspects of culture. International and local consultants in the field of architecture are struggling to design modern buildings using vernacular architecture features and elements borrowed from historical buildings.

This subject is complex and it warrants long-term commitment.

    Extractions: It is a great pleasure to be here in Delhi this evening to recognise the winners of the ninth cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. We are particularly honoured by the presence of the Prime Minister whose leadership and ideas have contributed so much to improving the quality of life and economic well-being of the citizens of India. I would also like to thank the departments and agencies of the Indian government who have been so supportive in mounting the Award events in India, and in facilitating the presence of so many people from different parts of the world. Many of our international guests have prominent and responsible positions at home and their presence here honours us. The recognition we are giving tonight carries the name Award for Architecture. But it represents much more. The Award recognises the efforts of architects and their clients, builders - large and small, governments, planners, international organisations, granting agencies, village organisations and individuals. All of them are collectively responsible for the creation of a humane and socially-supportive built environment that is so important to our quality of life. It is therefore most appropriate that this event is taking place in India, a country rich in cultural heritage and pluralistic traditions. Here, many cultures have maintained their distinct identities while combining and co-operating to create something even greater, the dynamic and vibrant India of the modern world. This is also a country where the struggle for social justice and improved quality of life has made tremendous strides over many decades through the continuous efforts of governments and civil society.
