Strongly recommended for its introduction to the gifted work of determined and progressively contemporary architect,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mehrdad Yazdani (Paperback)
Mehrdad Yazdani is a superbly organized and presented visually descriptive documentation of the architectural designs of the master architect Mehrdad Yazdani. Providing readers with a wealth of full-color photographs of Yazdani's impressive architectural accomplishments showcased on page after page of his uniquely designed buildings from the 1980s to the present, Mehrdad Yazdani also features brief and succinct texts on Yazdani's grand designs. A core addition to professional and academic library Architectural Studies reference collections, Mehrdad Yazdani is very strongly recommended for its introduction to the gifted work of determined and progressively contemporary architect.

A first gathering under one cover: 23 projects, large and small,
By D. Donovan, Editor/Sr. Reviewer "California B... (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mehrdad Yazdani (Paperback)
Artist Mehrdad Yazdani has practiced his work in one place for most of his life, earning the respect of fellow architects and critics for his imaginative designs of public buildings: this represents the first gathering of his work under one cover: some 23 projects both large and small, built and un-built. Blueprints and design patterns accompany full-page color photos of constructed buildings to capture the extent of Yazdani's vision in a wonderful, compelling presentation highly recommended for college-level art libraries specializing in architectural displays - especially modern architects.
