Descrição: Born in 1941 in the Punjabi city of Dera Ghazi Khan, Lari spent much of her young adulthood in London, graduating from the School of Architecture at Oxford Brookes University (then Oxford Polytechnic) in 1964 before returning to her native Pakistan, at the age of 23, to establish the busy Karachi practice, Lari Associates, alongside her husband. Much of her early work in the 1970s was dedicated to social housing, including Angoori Bagh, which was completed in 1973 in the Punjabi capital of Lahore as Pakistan's first public-housing scheme. In more recent years, Lari's work with the Heritage Foundation has yielded more than 50,000 low-cost, accessible dwellings built from natural, readily available materials- chiefly bamboo-for communities across Pakistan displaced by disasters like earthquakes or floods, and those living on the margins of society.
