In the latest episode of the "Growing Up Irooni" podcast series,
I had the unique privilege of sitting down with the iconic Gisue
Hariri, one half of the brilliant duo behind Hariri & Hariri
Architecture. In this intimate conversation, Gisue delves into
the intricacies of growing up in the southern part of Iran, where
the environment fostered imagination, resilience, and a profound
connection to nature. She candidly shares the challenges and
triumphs she faced as a female architect, breaking barriers in a
traditionally male-dominated profession. From her experiences at
Cornell University to designing a coffee shop in New York City
with Colombian architects, our discussion traverses the
intersections of culture, architecture, and womanhood. Whether
you're an architecture enthusiast or someone intrigued by
personal narratives of struggle, triumph, and identity, this
episode promises a heartfelt journey through the eyes of one of
Iran's pioneering architectural minds. Tune in to witness how
Gisue's unique upbringing influenced her path and her passion for
creating more inclusive spaces in architecture.
