Pakistani architect Yasmeen Lari wins the Jane Drew Prize 2020

Yasmeen Lari, Pakistan's first female architect, has been awarded the Jane Drew Prize 2020 for raising the profile of women in architecture.

Aged 79, Lari has continued to dedicate her life to architecture since closing her practice in 2000, advising UNESCO and building homes for tens of thousands of people affected by floods and earthquakes in her home country.

"I am touched and humbled to be included among the galaxy of architects who have received this prize," Lari said.
