View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Farzan ShamasblouAbout Farzan Shamasblou : Farzan Shamasblou is an Iranian architect and multidisciplinary designer, and has been the design director of Pratic studio since 2016. He earned his Master’s degree from IA University in Tehran after having completed his bachelor in Khayyam University of Mashhad, IRAN. Prior to founding Pratic Studio, Farzan was an associate architect at “Shirdel and Associates Architects”, and previously worked in both independent and collaborative design environments. Interested in creative problem solving and critical design thinking, Farzan has worked on multiple projects in various fields of design, including award-winning architectural projects, as well as furniture, products and artworks that have been featured in exhibitions.
Before the dialectic of theory and practice turned into an extended issue in the history of philosophy, Aristotle had considered three fundamental human activities including theory, Poiesis and Praxis. We believe that design is an activity which is mixed irreducibly with the two concepts of action, since on one hand it originates from imagination and creation, and on the other, it is inseparable from material reality. Taking into account this introduction, it can be said that PRATIC is made by blending the terms “practical” and “poetic” whose phonetics in Persian dialect indicates practice in its general meaning. This is something we do under the discipline of design and it also refers to our human action in the geography and linguistic context we are in. We try to think unbounded and globally and at the same time we do locally. This is not an only professional specialty for us, but, through the process of design, we connect with the environment and the status quo, criticize it, influenced by it, and put the related continuous ideas in practice.
