Abstract: This second book in the *Exploring Architecture in Islamic Cultures* series, edited on behalf of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, reflects the passion and commitment of the regional seminar held in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It uncovers intellectual ideas, practical wisdom, and historical perspectives, particularly focusing on regionalism as an alternative to International Modernism. The contributions of scholars like Mulk Raj Anand and William Curtis highlight the cultural transformations and psychological phenomena in architecture. Acknowledgment is given to Iftekhar Mazhar Khan for collating the seminar proceedings and to the publishers for their support.
