Hadi Teherani – born in Tehran in 1954, grew up in Hamburg – is an
extremely productive and diverse, internationally awarded German
architect and designer. His work is executed regardless of borders in
every respect, transcending nationalities and specialist disciplines.
The projects target atmospheric charisma, emotional urgency and an
ecologically sound sustainability that is already laid out in the
design. The first “green“ railway station in Germany at Frankfurt
Airport and the Cologne “Crane Houses” on the banks of the River Rhine
have become effective landmarks to a large extent like many
international projects. In his unusually far-reaching competence from
architecture to urban planning, to interior and product design,
compositions succeed in which all elements interact harmoniously. Abu
Dhabi, Berlin, Dubai, Hamburg, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Rome and Tehran are
some of the metropolitan cities for which plans are being drawn up, as
well as Moscow and Mumbai. The e-bike, the conference table (Thonet),
leather seating furniture (Walter Knoll), a modular kitchen
(Poggenpohl), lights (Zumtobel/Louis Poulsen), showrooms and flagship
stores (Kiton) likewise belong to the catalogue of works, just as
high-rise buildings, corporate centres, council offices, shopping
worlds, stock markets, railway stations, schools and universities. In
recent years particularly innovative concepts for sustainable urban
residential construction have been developed and realised.
