Pouya Khazaeli Parsa belongs to a generation of young architects who played a role in last decade's progressive movement, the knowledge of which allows us to better understand the work presented here. The most authentic cultural ferment that has occurred in Iran over the last 50 years concerned diverse artistic and cultural sectors (cinema, literature, painting, music, theater, architecture, etc.). It may seem paradoxical, but just when the country's closure policy is at its most extreme, intellectuals, artists and writers in Iran have played a greater role on the international cultural scene. Whether they practice at home or abroad, many Iranian architects - men and women such as Farshid Moussavi, Mehrdad Yazdani, Hadi and Nader Tehrani, the Hariri sisters, Bahram Shirdel, Nasrin Seraji, Daneshmir Reza, Abbas Riahifard - have enjoyed international recognition.
There are many young architects who are from 30-40 years old working in Iran, creating works of great architectural interest. Despite the country's bureaucratic, economic and technological difficulties, these achievements are comparable to those published in the international architecture journals. The cultural movement's driving force is the determination of Iran's most educated class to emerge from their shell to communicate with the outside world.For this reason, Iranians use any means available to help bring their message to the world. It is no coincidence that Persian is the fourth most-used language on the Internet.
University students devour the few international bibliographic resources available to them and spend large amounts of time online to explore trends and projects and to participate in international competitions. The numerous architectural magazines in the country have been instrumental in creating this link between the architectural scene and the outside world. For these reasons, the new generation of architects has decided to break with the rhetorical and historicist state architecture, devoid of creativity, imposed by state organizations which not only control infrastructure projects and public services (hospitals, schools, universities), but also hotels, cinemas, cultural centers, industries, etc. Young people started with small buildings, like houses, condominiums and offices for private clients. Then, seeing the results, even public administrators appreciated the skills of "disobedient" youth awrding them commissions for some important public projects (cinemas, museums, libraries, schools, etc.).
Over the past five years, at the same time that relative openness towards young people was coming about, we noticed their increased attention towards local culture and traditions. Young people, while remaining within the confines of contemporary architecture, have utilized local culture to diversify on the international scene to create projects with a touch of originality.
The young Iranian architect, Pouya Khazaeli Parsa, works within this context; with four independent projects, of which only two are actual buildings, he has already won four major awards and appeared in numerous local and international magazines. Khazaeli Parsa's first built work, which appeared in
Domus (No. 906, September 2007), was a Corbu-inspired villa in Mazandaran (an Iranian region on the Caspian Sea). The second project was a bamboo hut built with a budget of less than € 1000, influenced by the time spent in Shigeru Ban's office before going off on his own. The project appeared in
Domus (
Bamboo Structure, No. 927, July / August 2009) and was awarded first prize by the architectural journal, Memar, in the same year.
His latest project is single-family weekend home located in the Darvishabad village (also on the Caspian Sea).
The living area is strongly characterized by the presence of the funnel-like element, creating a connection between the sky and the ground
