Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus has congratulated architect Marina Tabassum for winning the Aga Khan Award for Architecture for the second time.
Her project, Khudi Bari—a climate-resilient, portable, and affordable housing solution for families displaced by river erosion—was hailed as a humanitarian and visionary contribution.
Yunus described it as a historic achievement for Bangladesh, proving that architecture is not limited to aesthetics but embodies dignity, resilience, and human creativity.
He recalled Tabassum’s first Aga Khan Award in 2016 for designing the Baitur Rauf Mosque in Dhaka, saying, “Once again, Bangladesh has been placed on the global stage of creativity and social innovation.”
Tabassum currently serves as Chairperson of the Governing Council of the Bangladesh National Museum and Chief Adviser of the July Uprising Memorial Museum.
