Selected research projects and architecture exploring the role of design within complex social, political and environmental conditionsToshiko Mori is a New York-based architect and Professor in the Practice of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design for many years. As a long-time member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Future of Cities, Mori led research and inquiry into sustainable architecture, enhancing cities’ livability, and creating efficient urban services. Mori is also on the board of Dassault Systems, a company connecting technology to environment and life science. And she has founded the platform VisionArc, a think tank dedicated to exploring the role of design within complex social and environmental issues.This book will focus on TMA’s projects based on research, and the impact of socially valuable projects to society. The book will illustrate how the observation of the architect operates as opposed to how the imagination of the architect manifests itself. Different chapters in the book are describing various ways of approaching the task of observation. Seven chapters are divided into specific projects and provide a look at the hidden thought processes that can take place behind the ideas, solutions, and physical manifestations or architecture.Presented projects include the Portable Concert Hall, called Paracoustica, which is an ongoing nonprofit work to come up with an affordable and sharable concert hall among many constituents in remote and underserved community; the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research focusing on socialization among scientists as a new model of work that promotes further discovery and teamwork. And i.e. the research on the role of libraries in the future using the example of the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch. Another chapter is dedicated to the vernacular typology development in Senegal with the Albers Foundation, and the research on social spaces for collaborative educational environments.

Each year, an internationally known architect is invited to design and create their first built structure in England: the Serpentine Pavilion. https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/serpentine-pavilion-2025-by-marina-tabassum/ Marina Tabassum (b. 1969, Dhaka, Bangladesh) is an acclaimed architect and educator. Her architectural practice, Marina Tabassum Architects, remains consciously contained in size — prioritising climate, context, culture and history — undertaking a limited number of projects per year.Tabassum is a Professor at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. She held the Norman Foster Chair at Yale University in 2023 and has taught as a visiting professor at numerous universities.Tabassum’s pursuit for the ‘architecture of relevance’ has won her numerous awards including the Soane Medal from the UK; Arnold Brunner Memorial Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; the Gold Medal of the French Academy of Architecture; and the Jameel Prize from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. In 2024, Tabassum was included in TIME Magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People’.This volume presents various building projects that Marina Tabassum has worked on since 1995. The book ranges from early projects in the city of Dhaka such as the Museum of Independence and the celebrated Bait Ur Rouf Mosque, to recent mobile modular structures called Khudi Bari. Tabassum is establishing the latter for the people affected by displacement in various geographically and climatically challenged locations--both in the Ganges Delta and in the Rohingya refugee camp at Cox's Bazar on the border with Myanmar, which is currently the largest refugee camp in the world.With contributions by Sean Anderson, Vera Simone Bader, Kareem Ibrahim, Hanif Kara, Andres Lepik, Nondita Correa Mehrotra, Tanzil Shafique, Sarah M.
