An interview with Marina Tabassum features in today's Dezeen Agenda newsletter

The latest edition of our Dezeen Agenda newsletter features an exclusive interview with Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum, who told Dezeen why she only works in her home country.

Tabassum is known for designing buildings that use local materials and aim to improve the lives of low-income people in Bangladesh.

"The reason I've never really worked outside Bangladesh is the fact that wherever I work, I must understand that place," she told Dezeen from her studio in Dhaka.

"To go somewhere and build something without having the full knowledge of it makes me quite uncomfortable."

Among Tabassum's designs in Bangladesh are the country's Museum of Independence and the adjacent Independence Monument, as well as the Aga Khan Award-winning Bait Ur Rouf Mosque.

Millennium Dome storm damage features in today's Dezeen Agenda newsletter

The latest edition of our Dezeen Agenda newsletter features London's Millennium Dome, which was severely damaged during Storm Eunice.

A large section of the fabric roof of the 20,000-capacity venue, which was originally designed by British architect Richard Rogers, was pulled off by the storm, exposing its interior.

Videos and images shared on social media show six panels of the PTFE-coated glass fibre fabric roof ripped away from the structure, which is considered a key example of the high-tech architecture style.

Now called the O2 Arena, the 50-metre-high dome is one of the city's most recognised landmarks.

An expert's argument against beehives in cities features in today's Dezeen Agenda newsletter

The first edition of our Dezeen Agenda newsletter features honeybee specialist Paula Carnell, who says that putting beehives in cities is "very dangerous to other pollinators".

Bee expert Carnell told Dezeen that efforts to put beehives in cities actually harms native pollinators such as solitary bees and bumblebees.

Architects should include wild areas in their projects, plant trees in the ground rather than in pots and discourage urban beekeeping to encourage biodiversity, she says.
