Marina Tabassum

Marina Tabassum is the principal of Marina Tabassum Architects, a practice established in 2005 based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. MTA began its journey in the quest for establishing a language of architecture that is contemporary to the world yet rooted to place.

Marina graduated from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 1995. The same year, she founded URBANA where she was a partner for ten years. The most important project of the partnership is the Independence Monument of Bangladesh and the Museum of Independence designed in 1997 and completed in 2013.

Marina is the Academic Director of the Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements. She has taught at TU Delft, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, University of Texas and in BRAC University. She has served as a member of the Steering Committee of Aga Khan Awards for Architecture. Marina is also a member of the Board of Directors of Prokritee, a guaranteed Fair Trade organization that has empowered thousands of women artisans of Bangladesh through the export of handcrafted objects.

In 2018 Marina won the Jameel Prize 5. She is also a recipient of 2016 Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which she won for the Bait ur Rouf Mosque in Dhaka. Another project, a Pavilion Apartment, was shortlisted for Aga Khan Award in 2004. Marina also received the AYA Award from India in 2004 for the project NEK10 in Dhaka and the following year, was a recipient of 2005 Ananya Award, which recognizes women of Bangladesh with exceptional achievements.
