Alireza Taghaboni is an Iranian architect, painter and university lecturer. He has received his bachelor and master of architecture & urban planning at Gilan University of Rasht. By the start of his PhD research at the Science & Researches branch of Islamic Azad University in Tehran, within the years of 2002-2007 he sternly and unyieldingly started participating in architectural competitions when his ideas and designs were introduced to fellow architectures by his numerous and inevitable wins. He is the former director and project manager of a joined practice named Razan Text & Context which he had co-founded in 2007. In 2010, he founded his own firm nextoffice where he has been practicing architecture up to present. His current team members come from professional backgrounds that include architecture, model making, fabrication, product design, sculpture, landscape design, building and facilities construction.

The surrounding context and site history has always had a distinctive role in our project designs, as well as considering climatic condition, economic and cultural background of each place. Considering current construction difficulties and restrictions, we have found it sometimes quiet challenging to give enough details and elaborations to our designs but still try to be optimistic by keeping the insistence on our architectural ideals and ambitions. To do so, we are seeking the synthesis coming from the above mentioned design factors. In this respect, concepts and ideas illustrated in competition projects highly seek our ideals and fantasies in the realm of architectural design while our real projects are presenting a pragmatic effort adapting such ideals with the corresponding framework of nowadays’ restrictions. Whereas, by keeping the insistence on our ideals we have involved economy, culture and contemporary needs with the process of design because: we are hoping our ideas can fly out of papers and blueprints and merge into the city; we believe that there are still some ways to alter the city image; and we want to make it happen!
