Shahram Shokoufandeh, AIA, SIAP

Mr. Shokoufandeh began his career in his native Iran. After obtaining his architecture degree from the National University of Iran, he spent the 1970s designing properties that ranged from university campuses and laboratories to a wide range of residential and business properties. After moving to the United States during the early 1980s, he began a decade’s long career building a wide range of private properties, around the Greater Los Angeles area. Mr. Shokoufandeh believes that Architecture is defined by a conflicting relationship between abstraction and representation; an architectural design with apparent surface abstraction must possess a deep representational value. Abstraction is an aesthetic based on clarity of logic and representation is concerned with all historic, cultural, climatic, topographical, urban and living conditions. He also greatly emphasizes the importance of the relation of nature to Architecture, a concept which characterizes his work.
