Moriyama & Teshima are the architects of record for the Wynford Park complex of buildings located on a 17-acre site on Wynford Drive in Toronto, and comprising the Aga Khan Museum (design architect Fumihiko Maki with Maki and Associates), and the Ismali Centre and Jamatkhana (design architect Charles Correa Associates), a community/religious centre.

Over almost a 10 year period, the M&T museum team spent over 45,000 hours taking the project from concept through construction.

Inserted between each of these projects are a series of landscaped gardens designed by the Beirut-based landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic Landscape Architecture in collaboration with Moriyama & Teshima Planners. Wynford Park will comprise eastern-influenced formal gardens and over two kilometres of walking trails open to the public with five reflecting pools.

The Aga Khan Museum is dedicated to the preservation of Muslim arts and culture. The museum is an initiative of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, an agency of the Aga Khan Development Network.

A central feature of the new Museum is an extraordinary, state-of-the-arts Auditorium in which the Aga Khan Foundation will present a music programme to expand knowledge of the traditional music of Asia and the Islamic world.
