In the early stages of designing A Capsule in Time, the 2025 Serpentine Pavilion temporary installation last summer on the grounds of London\u2019s Serpentine Galleries, Marina Tabassum Architects founder Marina Tabassum hand-sketched ideas for an elongated, segmented structure built around a semi-mature tree and inspired by cloth-and-bamboo Shamiyana, open-air tents erected for weddings in Bangladesh, Tabassum\u2019s native country, that are both reusable and rooted to place.
