About this talk

Farshid Moussavi will present the recently completed Ismaili Centre in Houston, a landmark project in the London-based architect's career. Commissioned by His Highness the Aga Khan, the building is conceived as a venue for educational, cultural and social events. Moussavi, who was born in Iran, will reflect on the project's radical interpretation of Islamic design principles and its function as a stage for encounters between peoples of diverse backgrounds, faiths and traditions. The Architecture Foundation, in association with the Barbican, presents Architecture on Stage – a programme of talks by the world's leading architects.
