Biography
Born in 1982 in Tehran, I am an architect and designer currently living in Vienna. Since 2003, when I received my first professional appointment, I have worked on quite a few projects as junior designer, design architect or principle architect, which are ranging from a small scale house extension in Stockholm to ultra-large scale mixed-use projects throughout the Middle East, all done within the most compressed time frames for highly demanding clients.
During the past 15 years, along working as a professional architect, I have never stopped learning; and I have learned from the greatest in the field: architects and theoreticians such as Bahram Shirdel, Hani Rashid, Greg Lynn, Klaus Bollinger and Sanford Kwinter among others, and I am intended to continue to do so.
