Mir-Hossein Mousavi

Iranian architect and politician

Mir-Hossein Mousavi belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Mir-Hossein Mousavi as Iranian architect and politician.

Mir-Hossein Mousavi was born at Najaf in 1941. His recorded nationality is Iran. He was educated at Shahid Beheshti University.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

He worked as politician, painter and architect.

His affiliations include Tarbiat Modares University.

Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.

His work was formally recognised with the Order of Independence.

That the work was done from Iran matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Mir-Hossein Mousavi is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
