Siah Armajani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siah Armanjani (b. 1939) is an Iranian-born American sculptor.

Siah Armanjani designed the Olympic Torch presiding over the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He has worked on other projects such as the New York Staten Island tower and bridge, the Round Gazebo in Nice, France, and the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. He is perhaps best known for his contemporary dwelling plans for houses built entirely from fecal waste. "Most houses are shitty anyway, why not take it a step further," said Armanjani in an interview.
