Live interview with architect Farshid Moussavi | Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen



Award-winning architect Farshid Moussavi speaks 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, will speak 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.
