He collaborated with famous and important architects such as “Bahram Shirdel” and “Seyyed Hadi Mirmiran” from 2002 to 2007. After many experiences he founded his personal office called “Hajizadeh & Associates”.

Amir Hossein Hajizadeh was born on August 3rd, 1990 in Tabriz, Iran. After finishing high school, he entered “Soore University of Art And Architecture” to study bachelors in architecture. From the first year of his studies he started to work at “Hajizadeh and Associates” temporarily, and those years of activity has propelled him to became the lead architect at this office since 2013.

His major attention on creating a dialogue between people and city, and amongst people with each other has evolved to develop projects with cultural and public approaches in the body of his works; in a way that “atmosphere”, as the most critical element, experience a sort of change in its base nature in each and every portion of time and place. Moreover, interactions among people would lead to create an “EVENT”.

Also, his impressive focus on designing an atmosphere-oriented process considering function regardless of formal aspects of a project, results in presenting the project in a way that it illustrates the nature of the vernacular context.

“Event”, the inseparable part of his notions, plays the leading role in all his works, whether architectural or other fields of art. The challenge of shaping an event in the audience’s mind categorizes his works as conceptual art, not only to perceive the process but also to encounter the artist’s school of thought. Parallel universe, the objects’ look towards the environment, time and surrounding factors in general, has grabbed his attention during the recent years. Read More

Our well-organized universe is constantly changing and the most precious outcome of this mechanism for mankind is life. The cognition of relations which are ruling over the world’s phenomena and the way to communicate with them, would bring about the state of humans’ survival. However, voracious nature of a modern human and misconceiving necessities of individual-society-environment caused the construction growth in the world’s metropolises and specifically in Iran in a way that a plethora of structural, formal, and functional similarities have been generated among them; to the extent that such a resemblance is gradually changing into a morbid epidemic even in small towns and historic cities of Iran. It seems that architecture which itself is a creature of the culture and the needs of a society, has brought on non-organic changes in the body of the society in a way that hopelessly after years, regardless of climatic attributes, the difference between these cities will be no more recognizable!

As an identity which is shaped over time, architecture is a narrator of a land’s history which has developed into various social species in each period of time based on related demands. In other words, the social relations’ mechanism in each context besides its particular demands has shaped a special architecture in that context. On the other hand, architecture in each region of course will impose its own organizational properties to the society. In order to create a meaningful unity between human and architecture, this approach requires to scrutinize and connect social, structural, and climatic aspects of a specific context besides concerning modern human’s needs.

The ultimate goal of “Hajizadeh & Associates” studio is to create a self-produced connection between people, city, and the environment.
