Message from Soheil Abedian

From the beginning of humanity - Architecture, along with literature, painting, and music, has been the foundation for the cultural evaluation of different races and nations. Predominantly, the art of Architecture has played a significant role in the history of our forefathers, as they shaped their environments. We have the ability now, to look back over the centuries, and learn from this art, to create a built form which is unique in design and is sustainable for today’s society. What we leave behind today, only future generations will be the true judge about our contribution to history.

I am delighted to play a small role in establishing the Soheil Abedian School of Architecture with Bond University, which I believe in time, will be the contributor of new designers that will influence the art of Architecture, not alone in Australia but throughout the world.

Our collaboration with the Architectural Association School of Architects in London, along with Pratt Institute in New York, will give our students the best opportunity to learn architecture on a global scale. Our curriculum has been designed with the assistance of these universities, and will undoubtedly provide a unique pathway in forming world class designers.

It is my ardent hope that all students will have the ambition and passion to become the voice of modernity in today’s society, and I welcome all of you to play an active role in the progression of the School in its formative years.

I look forward to meeting all of you and witnessing your progress in the years to come.
