Marina Tabassum

Why this artist matters now

Marina Tabassum is a Bangladeshi architect whose concrete structures and locally sourced material assemblies interrogate the relationship between modernist form and vernacular building traditions. Working primarily at domestic and civic scales in Dhaka, her practice negotiates between geometric abstraction and the material language of Bengali construction. Her buildings establish a dialogue between post-colonial modernism and the specific resourcefulness of contemporary Bangladesh.
