Archer Firouzi
Faculty, School of Architecture
Arash Archer Firouzi is an Iranian-American architectural designer, artist, and educator with a multi-disciplinary design approach. Archer is the founder of ARCHIFFECTS as well as [ZESHT] Art and Design both based in San Francisco.
In his work at the architectural scale through Archiffects, he implements his belief that architecture goes beyond mere function – it shapes how we live, how we connect, and how we experience the world around us. Every project is an opportunity to create environments that transform the everyday into something meaningful and exceptional. By listening, collaborating, and crafting with intention, he designs spaces that not only serve their purpose but elevate the human experience and inspire those who inhabit them.
Prior to founding Archiffects, Archer worked on large scale projects such as the Newport Beach City Hall and the Sidney Poitier Film School while with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Past art projects include an installation at the SF City Hall and the SF Chinese New Year parade float.
Archer holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Academy of Art University and a Master of Architecture degree from the Architectural Association in London.
