Biography / Info

Architect, CEO & Founder at
Fluid Motion Architects

   Born 1968, Tehran. A researcher, architect, professor at
university, founder and C.E.O at Fluid Motion Architects since 2004 in Tehran;
also founder and Manager of iRODE Company in the field of R & D since 2009.
She received her Master’s degree in architecture and urban planning from
University of Science & Technology, in Tehran, in 1994. Catherine has a
special point of view in her approaches which includes both scientific and
artistic methods. She stepped into the world of music at the age of four and
later became a classical guitar player. According to Spiridonoff, music led her
to a better understanding of required combinations of forms. 

   She has many studies in neurology and art, ancient
architectural placement based on energies and painting. She follows many
activities which may seem irrelevant to her professional world of architecture,
but believes that, as an architect, comprehensive awareness of genuine human
issues opens up the path to a better world and this awareness is an essential
prerequisite, which can be acquired by learning from nature. Her architectural
designs have received numerous awards; such as BID, WAF, Memar, and her
articles have been published in different national and international
publications.

IrodE is the research, study, branding and publication studio of
the architectural practice, Fluid Motion Architects which was founded in Tehran
in 2004 by Catherine Spiridonoff and others. IrodE was established in 2008
operating as a brain within and independent from the firm. It is directed by
Catherine and has a goal of finding links between Health and Design based on
information, research, organization, development, environment and how
architecture can affect beliefs and thoughts, health and life style. It also
enables the practice of studying sometimes even without having a client, or any
architectural form of design in mind.

– Catherine serves as the key linking device between the
organization and its environment.

– She is the nerve center of key information in the firm. The brain, not the
computer, is the data bank of key information in the firm.

– She takes full charge of the organization’s strategy-making system, by which
important decisions are made and integrated. Decisions related to crises,
problems, and major opportunities must be overseen and integrated by her.

– She performs much work at an unrelenting pace. Partly Catherine runs liaison,
information processing, and strategy-making systems at the firm. Her evening
activities are usually work related, and she seldom appears able to put her
concern for her work aside.

– Her work is characterized by brevity, discontinuity and variety. She tries to
keep all her activities brief, actively encouraging interruption in her work to
maintain the rapid pace and flow of information,to avoid wasting time.

– She gravitates to more active, concrete elements in her work. Catherine shows
strong preference for activities that are current, specific and well-defined
and those that are non-routine. She gives little attention to routine operating
reports.

– Spiridonoff demonstrates a preference for the verbal media. Communication is
part of her work. 

– The prime occupational hazard of her job is superficiality. All this is
reflected most clearly in her “dilemma of delegation.”

– She does not work according to procedures that have been prescribed by
scientific analysis. Catherine may make decisions dealing with modern
technology, but use the same intuitive procedures in making them.
