Description

Yasmeen Lari Architecture for the Future presents a comprehensive exploration of the life and work of renowned architect Yasmeen Lari. A pioneer in sustainable architecture, Lari developed Zero Carbon Architecture, which combines ecological and social justice. This collection showcases her remarkable contributions to global architectural movements towards decarbonization and decolonization. The book features extensive photographs, drawings, and plans from Lari's archive, offering a unique insight into her work. Original essays by international contributors contextualize Lari's architecture within the postimperial, postcolonial, and postpartition condition, examining intersections with human rights, climate change, activism, and vernacular innovation. By bringing Lari's legacy forward, this volume highlights the potential for systemic approaches to create positive change in architecture today.
