Scully award reflection - a corrrection

In my article I noted that the Japanese architect Mr. Bruno Freschi met at the Scully award ceremony is responsible for designing the Ismaili center in Toronto. He is in fact designing the museum and the AKDN center in Ottawa and not the Jamat Khana. I regret the error.
