Yasmeen Lari

Pakistani architect

Yasmeen Lari belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Yasmeen Lari as Pakistani architect.

Yasmeen Lari was born at Dera Ghazi Khan in 1942. Her recorded nationality is Pakistan. She was educated at School of Architecture, Oxford Brookes University.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Yasmeen Lari is described as architect, writer and historian.

Yasmeen Lari is associated first and foremost with involvement in the intersection of architecture and social justice. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

Her recorded fields of work are architecture, architectural project and sustainable architecture.

Her work was formally recognised with the Sitara-i-Imtiaz, Jane Drew Prize and Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize.

That the work was done from Pakistan matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Yasmeen Lari is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
