Yasmeen Lari wins 2023 RIBA Royal Gold Medal

RIBA President Simon Alford said of Lari, "An inspirational figure, she moved from a large practice centred on the needs of international clients to focussing solely on humanitarian causes. Lari’s mission during her ‘second’ career has empowered the people of Pakistan through architecture, engaging users in design and production. She has shown us how architecture changes lives for the better."

The MIT Press is proud to publish Yasmeen Lari: Architecture for the Future this May.
