A tapestry of stone': the first Ismaili Centre in the US rises in the heart of Texas

On a hot autumn day in southern Texas, monarch butterflies flit around the gardens of Houston's new Ismaili Centre. Fragile and gaudy, they are on their way south to overwinter in Mexico, travelling up to 3,000 miles in a typical migration cycle, an epic feat of insectile endurance. Their combination of delicacy and stamina is an apt metaphor for the Ismaili Centre, a building that has taken seven years to realise and is designed to last for a century or more.
