Beyond Blueprints: How Elevated Connections Build Beautiful Results | Frank Panici & Siamak Hariri

One Planet Summit is a conference held in America that brings together leaders and visionaries to bridge business and spiritual insight to inspire real-world solutions and foster a community of collaborators. Their goal is to elevate business to serve humanity.

This video shares one of the talks from the 2023 summit. We hear about an unconventional architectural collaboration that sparked award-winning healthcare design. Frank Panici is the VP of Health Sciences at NORR architects and Siamak Hariri is founder of Hariri Pontarini Architects and the architect of the Baha’i House of Worship in Chile. When the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto sought renewal, their paths brought Frank and Siamak to serve the same purpose. Their partnership turned friendship birthed the highest, internationally recognized, design award in its field. Frank and Siamak’s union shattered norms, and infused warmth, light, and hope into once cold corridors. Patients found solace in spaces imbued with the essence of their friendship.
