Marina Tabassum

This exhibition will present various public and private building projects that Marina Tabassum has worked on since 1995, first with the architectural office Urbana and since 2005 through Marina Tabassum Architects (MTA). These include the Monument and Museum of Independence in Dhaka (Bangladesh), as well as her engagement in various projects for the 1.2 million Rohingya refugees. In response to the dire situation of the refugees MTA designed a low-cost, mobile, modular house system made of locally sourced material for landless low-income communities facing sea-level rise, once again demonstrating views of architecture as a medium to stabilise society.

Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 7 pm (last entry at 6:30 pm)
