Fifth Annual Bita Prize for Literature: Houshang Seyhoun

The Bita Daryabari Endowment in Persian Letters, with Stanford's Iranian Studies Program, presented the Bita Prize for Literature on Thursday, November 29th, 2012, to Mr. Houshang Seyhoun.

Houshang Seyoun is a renowned artist and architect known for his significant contributions to a new aesthetic of Iranian modernity and urban modernism. Born in Tehran in 1920, he received a degree in architecture from Tehran's Honarkadeh college (house of the arts). Seyoun won numerous awards and competitions in his youth that testify to his creative brilliance, including the Iranian Association of Historic Monuments competition to design a memorial for the poet Ferdowsi. Finishing his studies at Honarkadeh, where he studied under Andre Godard, Seyoun was selected as the recipient of a French government scholarship to study art in Paris.

Due to unavoidable technical complications, in October 2015 we created this new YouTube channel, Stanford Iranian Studies Program to replace the old StanfordISP channel. All of our videos have been added to this channel and we will continue uploading our new content here. While we were saddened to lose the significant number of views our videos collected on our old channel, we hope you will continue to follow along with us, subscribe to this channel, and share with friends and family. Thank you for your continued support of our program and interest in Iranian Studies.
