SERPENTINE PAVILION 2025 A CAPSULE IN TIME: Marina Tabassum Architects

To accompany the Serpentine Pavilion 2025 A Capsule in Time, designed by Marina Tabassum and her firm, Marina Tabassum Architects, Serpentine has co-published a catalogue with Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz Konig, Köln.

Designed by Wolfe Hall, it brings together new and insightful contributions from the fields of architecture and art to reflect on Tabassum’s Pavilion and wider practice. Generously illustrated in colour throughout, it features essays by editor and curator Shumon Basar; architect, educator and Dean of Yale School of Architecture Deborah Berke; art and architecture historian Perween Hasan; architect, writer and critic Thomas de Monchaux; and experimental visual contributions from artists Rana Begum and Naeem Mohaiemen.

Alongside these contributions, it features drawings from Tabassum’s sketchbook whilst designing the Pavilion; a photo essay by Iwan Baan; a conversation with David Chipperfield; and an in-depth interview with Serpentine Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Artist

Marina Tabassum

Marina Tabassum (b. 1969, Dhaka, Bangladesh) is an acclaimed architect and educator who has received numerous international recognitions for her contributions in the field of architecture. She graduated in 1995 from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Prior to founding Marina Tabassum Architects (MTA) in 2005, Tabassum was a founding partner of the Dhaka-based firm URBANA between 1995 and 2005 with Kashef Chowdhury. In 1997, URBANA won the national competition to design the Independence Monument of Bangladesh and the Museum of Independence under the Public Works Department and the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs. Tabassum’s practice remains consciously contained in size — prioritising climate, context, culture and history — undertaking a limited number of projects per year. In 2024, Tabassum was included in TIME Magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People’.
