He received a masters from the University of Tehran with awards of top graduate and honors, and a Ph.D (D.P.L.G.) from “Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts” in Paris. He founded his private practice under “E.

The most notable was the design and competition award of the Plaza and Shah Abbas Hotel Complex in Isfahan, the most prestigious in the Middle East. In 1980 this project was nominated for The “Agha Khan Award” for Islamic Architecture.

On this and other projects in Isfahan, Yassi Gabbay established himself by introducing contemporary design and details to the traditional landscape of Isfahan and blending his innovative vision with traditional craftsmanship. “Guilan University Campus” remained incomplete when he left the country.
