Michel Mossessian (Armenian: Միշել Մոսեսյան, born 1959) is a French architect of Armenian descent.[1] based in London, UK.
Education
Michel Mossessian gained his diploma in architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts UP N°8 in Paris, where he also engaged in philosophy under Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. He was invited to be a Villa Medicis Hors les Murs fellow at the Cooper Union School of Architecture[2] in New York, where he studied Advanced Design. He subsequently completed his masters in design studies at Harvard Graduate School of Design.[citation needed]
Career
Mossessian worked for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) as Senior Designer[3] in their Chicago and London offices. Along with Senior partner, Larry Oltmanns, they made a successful bid resulting in the design of the new NATO headquarters in Brussels.[4] Mossessian was made redundant in 2004 before the project was completed. Oltmanns left SOM three weeks later.[3]
In 2005, Mossessian established the architectural studio of Mossessian & Partners, where he serves as principal architect. His first building design in London was the Carmine Building, a 15-storey office building at Five Merchant Square. As part of the Paddington Basin Development, the building was topped off in 2009, by City of London Mayor, Boris Johnson.[5]
In 2010, Mossessian & Partners completed three buildings: 5 Merchant Square in Paddington, London; ExxonMobil Headquarters in Shanghai, China; and a private residence in Sorede, France. The practice has completed the schematic design for 26 buildings and a major public square in the prestigious Msheireb regeneration project (formerly 'Heart of Doha') in Qatar, due for completion in 2016. In 2011, mossessian & partners won an open international competition for an urban renewal project in the Medina of Fes, Morocco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has now received national backing and is now on site. The firm's most recent win is a project on the prestigious King's Cross regeneration site in central London.
