Bahram Shirdel:
Insights into Bahram Shirdel's Architecture by Amir Abbas Aboutalebi
The architectural vision in Iran after the Islamic Revolution of 1976 experienced a significant shift as the generation of coherent architects supported by Farah of the second Pahlavi gradually faded, paving the way for a tangled and independent cohort of Iranian engineers to assume the scene.
In 1995, Bahram Shirdel, an internationally acclaimed practical architect with a successful international career, returned to Iran, marking a pivotal moment in the contemporary architecture of Iran.
Shirdel's return sparked a wave of innovation and experimentation among a new generation of graduates of architecture, challenging conventional design norms and exploring unconventional architectural practices.
In this untidy architectural landscape of Iran, Bahram Shirdel emerges as a catalyst for change, reshaping the discourse and practice of architecture in Iran and laying the foundation for a new era of architectural excellence driven by creativity, innovation, and a fusion of technology and lessons from the past. His rise has profoundly influenced both aspiring students and the established architectural community in Iran.
Bahram Shirdel's vision is internationally recognized for its interdisciplinary approach to architecture and science, as well as for its emphasis on Fold/Folding Architecture. Recently, his work has evolved to incorporate traditional concepts such as char-bagh, reflecting the progression of his role in shaping the contemporary manifestation of Iranian architecture.
However, the acceptance and support of Shirdel's pioneering ideas by the governmental system remain uncertain, prompting questions about whether the established order will embrace the vision of this leading visionary or not!
