Shaz Mirshahidi

No matter the project, Shahrzad will always bring the enthusiasm and energy that fuels the rest of the team—with her outgoing personality matched by a collaborative way of working, informed by both her time as a student and as a recent instructor of structural design.

She believes that new technology both enables and requires that the architects of today address environmental issues through design, with a net result that urbanism might better benefit its habitat. Outside the office, Shahrzad can sometimes be found at the poker table, putting her keen intellect to use for slightly less humanitarian (but still fun) purposes.
