Paris, France
Studio Razavi + Partners is a Paris-based architecture practice led by founder Alireza Razavi (b. 1970), a registered architect in France (DPLG 1996) and the United States (RA 2005). Razavi holds a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University (1998) and a Master's from the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (1997). Early collaborations include Eisenman Architects, Shigeru Ban Architects, Agrest & Gandelsonas, and François de Menil Architects, followed by a position as senior project manager at FTL-Happold in New York, where he led the design and construction of lightweight structures across varied climatic and programmatic contexts. The studio's work is built on a stated principle: the mediation between engineering and architectural cultures. It believes that successful designs can only materialize by fully synthesizing building technology and architectural sensitivity. Projects span private residences, apartment renovations, residential complexes, and commercial interiors across France and internationally. Work has been published in DETAIL magazine, Architecture Créé, d'architectures, and The Plan, and exhibited at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in Paris.
