Nasrine Seraji is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Nasrine Seraji as Iranian-British architect.
Nasrine Seraji was born at Tehran in 1957. Her recorded nationality is Iran.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
She is recorded as architect.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour and Knight of the National Order of Merit.
That the work was built in Iran shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Nasrine Seraji is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
