In Praise of the Void | Mohammad Majidi | TEDxTehran

Which one is more important: where we build something or where we leave empty? In today's design of the modern cities, what is the difference between building a building and architecture? Architect Mohammad Majidi, welcomes the audience to the world of architecture using stories of his designs in Tehran.

He was the jury member of “The Grand Me’mar Award” in 2013. Over the years after establishing Bonsar, more than 120 various projects have been designed and built which led to several national and international awards. Bonsar won the first place of “The Grand Me’mar Award” for two times, in 2005 for “Furniture Showroom and Warehouse” and in 2014 for the “Chizari Residential Complex” which has been published in different national books and magazines.
