Farhad Ashofteh Architect

For over twenty five years Farhad Ashofteh has designed numerous commercial and residential buildings, and has been involved in many privately and publicly funded new construction and rehabilitation projects. Ashofteh received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Nebraska In Lincoln, and a Masters of Architecture from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. He received his post-graduate Certificate of Specialization in Architecture and Urban Planning from the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). He then joined Urban Innovations Group, the practice arm of the UCLA's Graduate School of architecture as the Resident Architect in 1983. While teaching and training graduate students, he worked with Architects such as Charles W. Moore, Edgardo Contini, Rex Lotery, Frank Gehry, Richard Weinstein, and many others, on many national and international institutional, commercial, residential, and urban planning projects. Ashofteh started his solo career in 1993. His architecture firm is dedicated to approaching architecture as the synthesis of pragmatic and semantic elements. Each project is designed with a purpose: to go beyond the essence of shelter into the realms of timeless forms and spaces. Timeless in the sense of tradition, not as custom or habit, nor a transient style of a passing era, but timeless as the guiding principles of a society that endures the test of time. Backed by years of experience and advanced education Farhad Ashofteh, offers a diverse foundation for planning, design, and production of a wide range of projects including governmental, institutional, residential, industrial, and commercial buildings.
