Delayed Space Homa Fardjadi and Mohsen Mostafavi
|
|||
This monograph presents recent work by architects Homa Fardjadi and
Mohsen Mostafavi. The current trend in both architectural practice and
criticism toward extremities in theory has in some circles ruled out
a discussion of actual buildings. Excluded from such discourse is the
"middle ground" of architecture – the space of the building
itself. The work of Homa Fardjadi and Mohsen Mostafavi forces a reconsideration
of this middle ground as more than the site of daily functioning but
as "that which instigates the activities it also contains and presents."
Homa Fardjadi is a partner in the architectural office of Fardjadi-Mostafavi Associates. She was Associate Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University. Fardjadi has taught at the AA School of Architecture, London, the University of Pennsylvania, and at Yale University School of Architecture where she was the Bishop Professor of Architecture in 1992.
Mohsen Mostafavi is a partner in the architectural office of Fardjadi-Mostafavi Associates. He was Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the Master of Architecture I Program at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University. Mostafavi is author with Dalibor Vesely of Architecture and Continuity (1982) and with David Leatherbarrow of On Weathering: The Life of a Building in Time (1993).
