Pouya Khazaeli is an Iranian architect. He founded Rai Studio in June 2007 to revive what he considers to be the lost spirit of architecture; beyond utility and conceptual design towards the extension of organic settings with reverence to the cultural heritage of the region.[citation needed]
He has worked for Shigeru Ban,[1][2] Anna Heringer, Bahram Shirdel and Hadi Mirmiran. By 2011 he had completed four projects and won four awards, including a first prize from Memar magazine for his low-budget bamboo hut.[1][3]
