In a moment of immense pride for Bangladesh, Marina Tabassum Architects’ groundbreaking housing solution “Khudi Bari” received the 2025 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. This prestigious award recognises the project’s innovative and sustainable approach to addressing the housing challenges of communities displaced by climate change in Bangladesh. His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V, the Steering Committee Chair of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, noted, “Inspiring younger generations to build with environmental care, knowledge and empathy is among the greatest aims of this Award. Architecture today must engage with the climate crisis, enhance education and nourish our humanity. Through it, we plant seeds of optimism – quiet acts of resilience that grow into spaces of belonging, where the future may thrive in dignity and hope.”
