Award-winning architect Farshid Moussavi spoke to Dezeen in a live Screentime interview sponsored by Enscape as part of Virtual Design Festival.
Moussavi, who is one of the judges of this year’s Dezeen Awards, spoke to Dezeen’s founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.
The Iranian-born British architect studied at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, University College London and Dundee University.
In 1993, she co-founded Foreign Office Architectures with her then-husband Alejandro Zaera-Polo, before establishing her own practice, Farshid Moussavi Architecture, in 2011.
Moussavi’s completed projects include the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland, USA; Victoria Beckham’s flagship stores in London and Hong Kong; and Jardins de la Lironde in Montpellier, France.
Alongside designing buildings, Moussavi also holds a teaching position at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design.
She also curated the Royal Academy’s Summer Show in 2017 and has authored a series of architectural history and theory books published by Harvard.
In 2018, Moussavi became a board member of New Architecture Writers – a free writing programme for emerging black and minority ethnic architecture and design critics.
Moussavi was awarded an OBE in 2018 for her services to architecture.
