Boback Firoozbakht: how to green buildings that already exist

Let It Out!/Recorded 2010

A close reading, kept within reach.

The short version

Boback Firoozbakht takes architecture & interiors as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.

Recorded in USA in 2010, the conversation is grounded in Boback's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.

The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
