In an age when the practice of traditional and sacred arts has fallen almost entirely out of fashion, we should ask what relevance these forms of expression have now when so much of art is driven by the notion of modernity. Relevance being a concept centered around what is normal, this article looks at an example of traditional Islamic architecture built in our contemporary age, seeking to re-establish what was once considered normal. The example cited is the shrine of Baba Hassan Din, designed by the architect Kamil Khan Mumtaz and built by the engineers Rizwan Qadeer and Shahid Niaz.
