About the Event
Using the urban and ecological scale of the Ismaili Center as a starting point, Moussavi will address her process for generating new forms of urbanism. She will discuss what makes her projects urban and how that urbanism plays out. Drawing on her experience as an educator and prolific architect, Moussavi will discuss the “practicality” of architecture, of being in the world (as opposed to existing as an abstraction). She will share the cultural translation that the Ismaili Center deploys and how those multicultural references might relate—if at all—to urbanism and the “practicality” of architecture.
