Within
three years of graduation from the Harvard Graduate School of Design,
Progressive
Architecture magazine designated Mehrdad Yazdani one of the world’s
top emerging architects. This recognition resulted from a series of
unique projects designed by Mehrdad between 1987 and 1990, and his
ability to combine a creative aesthetic sensibility with a mature resolution
of pragmatic requirements.In 1994 he joined Dworsky Associates, which was acquired by Cannon Design in 2000. Cannon Design recently established the Yazdani Studio as a focused design studio to pursue unique opportunities throughout the world. The studio participated in five competitions during the latter part of 2001, including new performing arts centers in Denmark and Australia, an urban housing development in Singapore, a museum in Japan, and a new U.S. Courthouse in Los Angeles.
Throughout his career, Mehrdad has maintained a consistent and clear design vision for projects in both the private and public sectors, developing a reputation for design excellence within the often challenging realm of public projects. Recently, he was listed as one of Los Angeles’ 25 most highly regarded designers by the Los Angeles Business Journal. His work has been featured in international publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Progressive Architecture, I’ARCA, Architecture, Architectural Design, Casabella, The Architectural Review, GA Houses, Kenchiku Bunka, Architecture, LA Architect and Art in LA.
His work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries, and is part of the permanent collection of both the New York and San Francisco Museums of Modern Art. In January 2002, he participated in an invited group exhibition, “A New World Trade Center: Design Proposals,” by the Max Protetch Gallery in New York, and the Yazdani Studio’s entry for the new Las Vegas Federal Court Building has been part of a traveling national exhibition organized by the government’s General Services Administration.
