Engaging Pluralism Lecture: Marina Tabassum

Marina Tabassum
A Bangladeshi architect and educator, Marina Tabassum founded Dhaka-based Marina Tabassum Architects in 2005. In her work, Tabassum seeks to establish a language of architecture that is contemporary yet reflectively rooted to place, always against an ecological rubric containing climate, context, culture, history. Her Bait Ur Rouf Mosque is distinguished by its lack of popular mosque iconography, its emphasis on space and light, and its capacity to function not only as a place of worship but also as a refuge for a dense neighborhood on Dhaka's periphery. The portfolio of work notwithstanding, Tabassum's practice remains consciously contained in size, undertaking a limited number of projects per year.
Tabassum has taught in Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Technical University, Delft, University of Texas, BRAC University and Bengal Institute. She received Honorary Doctorate from Technical University of Munich. In addition to Aga Khan Awards for Architecture, she has received many accolades including Arnold W. Brunner Memorial Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Gold Medal of the French Academy of Architecture and Soane medal in Architecture from the United Kingdom. She has also got awarded Millennium Lifetime Achievement Award at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2022. Tabassum chairs Foundation for Architecture and Community Equity (FACE) and Prokritee, a Fare trade organization. She serves as the member of the Steering Committee of the Aga Khan Awards for Architecture. She is an honorary member of the Royal Society of Arts.
