e2: Intervention Architecture tracks the five projects that have won the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which embrace the ethical and philosophical criteria that the awards represent. Within one hour, e2 traverses the globe visiting the diverse projects that are as far-ranging as a wetlands restoration project in Saudi Arabia, the revitalization of a French Colonial heritage site in Tunisia, all the way to a Bridge School in Xiashi, China, that reconnected a community and became the cultural center of the village. At the end of our travels we understand that we are all one world, facing the same challenges in a shared future with the belief that the future can be made better.
