"Embracing Imperfection: The Architecture of Habibeh Madjdabadi"

Speaker

HABIBEH MADJDABADI

Founder Habibeh Madjdabadi Architecture Studio, Iran

Case Studies: The Square, The Street, The House of Approximation,The 40 Knots House

Main Ideas: In this presentation, renowned Iranian architect Habibeh Madjdabadi will share insights into her diverse portfolio of projects in Tehran. Madjdabadi's work demonstrates a deep appreciation for the city's rich architectural heritage, as well as a drive to forge new, innovative approaches to contemporary design that embrace the concept of human approximation. These buildings aim to create a dialogue between the past and present, drawing inspiration from the area's Art Deco and traditional architectural styles. One project, called "The Square", incorporates elements of a demolished brick building, using a randomized pattern of concrete panels to evoke the memory of the old structure. The other project, "The Street", features a facade of curved, porous terracotta shells that contrast with the rigid orthogonal forms of the surrounding buildings. The centerpiece of the presentation will be Madjdabadi's exploration of the concept of "human approximation" in two projects: the House of Approximation and the 40 Knots House.

"The station, the city and the fifth elevation"

Keynote Speaker

STUART GRAHN

Case Studies: HS2 Curzon Street Station, London Bridge Station

Main Ideas: Through Grimshaw’s nationally significant work at both London Bridge and Curzon Street stations, Stuart will present how major new transport interchanges must be integrated into the city and drive urban regeneration. New public spaces are conceived as accessible ‘city rooms’, seamlessly connecting the internal and external experiences and humanising passenger journeys. As historically important railway stations, both projects draw on their unique heritage, whilst their ambitious concepts are realised through designing for construction, to create unique environments which celebrate each station’s identity.
