Bahman Jamasbi
I am a graduate of master of architecture program from the University of Virginia’s School of Architecture. My UVA experience has provided me with a strong academic experience, and, as my resume indicates, over the last two and a half years I have sought out a wide variety of academic and research experiences to supplement my learning in studio. The interdisciplinary agenda advocated at the UVA School of architecture allowed me to explore a mode of problem solving that require expertise and knowledge specific to Landscape architecture or Urban design by collaborating with students and professors of those disciplines in several projects in the studio projects and beyond. In my time at the graduate school I had a chance to focus on the design ideologies I find interesting personally as well as the tools I found important to learn during my time in the offices I worked for prior graduate school. The most significant of these principles and tools are Performance-driven sustainable design, parametric design paradigms and design development process. All of which I believe, should heavily rely on advanced analytical tools and data rather than mere assumption, in order to truly contribute to the enhancement of the final design. I believe I have acquired a set of valuable skills in all those areas both in terms of research oriented decision making and in the term of proficiency in the related software. What I value most about my previous professional work involvements is the insight offered into a wide variety of architectural practices and studio cultures. I believe the best way to develop my interests and goals is to become involved in practice in a way that continually challenges myself, surrounded by professionals, in an immersive, comprehensive and motivating environment. I am a thorough, quick, and adept thinker and learner, and I am confident that you will find that I can make a valuable contribution to your practice. I value being an accountable employee that follows the norms of the office and is fully responsible for delivering what he was asked for as much as I value offices that are open to experience new technologies and create a platform for young architects to be exposed to all aspects of the professional practice.

Emergence Spring 2011 Tehran Opera House Tehtan, Iran B.A in Architecture thesis project 45,000 sqft Bearing in mind the common subjects among these observations and analyzes which are the contact, combination or confliction among different groups of people, urbanism issues and types of art, the concept of “ Conjunction” was considered as the main guideline in design process of the opera house. These ideas played an important roles in design of the opera house’s landscape. Each of the contextual forces or conceptual streams that were observed and analyzed in the pre-design research phase were represented in the landscape as narrow curved lines which form the buildings borders or become part of its mass and eventually all come together, converge and melt into the opera house volume which is emerging from the earth implying that these layers or streams are the sources of its propulsion. Concepts such as “Buoyancy” and “Ascendency” which are in close relationship to the intellectual basics of the Folding architecture were also used in different stages of design process.

A.C art district Spring 2015 Mixed-use cultural, educational convention center Atlantic City, NJ 800,000 sqft Boardwalk Hall used to be the center of cultural activity in Atlantic City. Over time as casinos took over, the arts district in Atlantic City decline, and the once vibrant Boardwalk Hall quickly fell into disrepair. The former home of concerts, shows, and the Miss America Pageant, Boardwalk Hall lays silent and its adjacent West Hall now serves as a parking garage in a city full of parking. The Six Disruptions seeks to reinvigorate the culture of Atlantic City by drawing arts to Boardwalk Hall. The redesign of West Hall looks at creating a new art school that feeds directly into Boardwalk Hall, so the students can perform in the historic landmark, and eventually re-establish the building as a centerpiece of the city. Conceptually, the project takes the structural grid of the existing building and establishes a new formal language using this as an inital organizing premise. This building creates an opportunity to further integrate the culture of Atlantic City for the residents and the tourists alike. Using the existing structural grid of West Hall, the art school takes on its own character by reinterpreting the site through five different obstructions that break up the thirty foot by thirty foot structural grid. This shifts the grid and allows for a new dynamic space on each floor that cuts a unqiue spot on each floor, sometimes extending or permeating other floors as well. In terms of the formal qualities, the building uses the idea of a shifting grid to push and pull element in accordance to the program of a new arts district, creating new spaces between different circulation paths around Boardwalk Hall. From the boardwalk, one moves through the central market space and can follow directly into the connection to Boardwalk Hall on the second floor. In the south, West Hall receives the boardwalk and integrates it into the exterior circulation. Adjacent to the west is a vacant lot, with a space for parks and new sculptures produced within the art school. Lastly, the northern part of the city integrates into the new threshold between the city and the boardwalk. Over time this new center will attract artists from around the world and start to bring Boardwalk Hall back to its former glory as a cultural icon for Atlantic City. Casinos will dissipate to the background as the former cultural richness integrates itself into the core of the city once more. In this transition back into restored glory, tourists and residents will come to know Atlantic City as a place of arts and culture, and, eventually, after many years of change, future generations will live in a world with a culturally vibrant Atlantic City.

Breathing ground Fall 2014 Surveillance Practices: Drawing the nature of sites Milton airfield, Charlottesville, VA Soil microbial activity can be measured by evaluating the amount of organic biomass available in top layers of the soil profile and can be manipulated by controlling different factors within and outside of the soil. Soil temperature, moisture, compaction and amount of received solar exposure are among the most effective ones. By studying these effective factors a framework for the methods of improving soil microbial activity through an intervention can be drawn. Most of these factors can be interpreted as the pressures exerted on the soil, influencing the location, population, behavior and activity level of the soil microbial colonies. These pressures that are understood to have the most significant impacts on the soil structure and microbial activity were chosen from all of the effective factors to be further studied as the subjects that could suggest a frameworks for a physical or experiential intervention.
38
39
Effective Factors and Pressures Soil temperature and moisture content can be consider as the two main indicators of soil activity level at a given time and its rate of change over a long period of time. The combination of these two factors create a psychrometric condition within the soil that indicates whether the soil microbes are living in their comfort zone or not.

electrical resistance- moisture content
Microbial comfort zone is defined as the most favorable temperature and moisture content ranges in which the soil populating microbes are at their most active state and have the highest rate of interaction with other organisms living in the soil. By finding the extreme psychrometric conditions we can decide on specific methodologies and interventions responsive to each particular condition in order to mitigate the situation.

Keeping the soil temperature and moisture in their most favorable range for the soil populating microbes (Mesophiles) in order to enhance the soil’s microbial activity can be achieved by designing a conditioning surface on the existing ground that alters in shape and function based on the anticipated result/mitigation at each specific area. This surface acts as a thermal envelope for the soil underneath in order to create an environment that approximate the soil organism’s comfort zone factors and increases the average microbial activity within a given area. Similar to the building envelope and intelligent facades that are designed to control heat exchange, solar exposure, ventilation and drainage, in designing the surface for the soil thermal insulation, Heat retention, moisture retention, drainage, aeration and sheltering were the main desired results. Increasing the soil microbial activity using the methods above, would have various beneficial aspects and potential applications based on the geographical location and time scale that they have been used in. Thermal insulation which would prevent freezing and thawing (rapid extreme changes) is one of the most important effects that can be achieved with this intervention which changes the frost line level in the intervention area and if precisely controlled this effect can used as a method of climate change adaptation. Practices in climate adaptation attempt to return the equilibrium in order to reduce the number of extreme moments and/or mitigate their negative effects on natural organisms and processes. Designing a condition-responsive surface made out of organic materials on the ground acts as a filter for environmental conditions and can be seen as a Phytoremediation method for climate adaptation that moderates the number of extreme moments experienced by soil microbes which would subsequently lead to an improved soil structure and enriched organic layer over time.

Among all the issues modern Sao Paulo is dealing with, we think the most severe problem are the isolation between n life, the producing process and consuming process of food, and the isolation between neighbors which contributes to We are ambitious to solve these problems with a multi-layered solution by proposing a new hybrid infrastructural syst space. Together they will construct a habitable landform in the urban area, which is Metropolitan Montana. When it comes to nature process, the most unique thing about Sao Paulo is the massive amount of precipitation occu with this rich resource of precipitation, the city is still facing the shortage of drinking water, and rain becomes runoff an channeled directly to the river, at the same time the river floods back. So we propose a layered infrastructure to collect intelligently; in order to create a closed loop of water infrastructural and hybrid city life. So how do we going to deal with the water? The earth landforms give us inspiration. The natural forces shape the land systematically to generate the waterscape; and early civilization emerge nearby. We abstract the mechanism of formation and water interaction of the various landforms and filtered this to “hollow” a collects the precipitation with its embracing form. Alluvial fan distributes water with its spreading form. We combined one alluvial fan community to create one unit of city neighborhood. At the scale of the site, analyses of the existing watershed directed us to define the valley lines, they will be pedestrian channels designed for the treatment of the runoff water along it. Connecting the rail station and existing road to bus side of the site, we designed the ridge lines which is a network of elevated streets for bikes and pedestrians. This way w which ends at the southern edge of the site. Besides defining the accessibility paths, these two network of streets (valleys and ridges) play the major role in distribu water. Finally, the community units (defined by hollow and alluvial fan shapes) connect the elevated network (ridges) A corridor of commercial boulevard is designed as a widen meander to connect the station mall, existing market in the on the east side to emphasize on the public access to all different parts of the site. 0 0.05

Lightness Summer 2010 National designcompetition Iran industrial trade center Rasht,Iran 10,000 sqft In the present day, the high momentum of the technological improvements is affecting our lives in a more tangible and significant way. At every era avant-garde architectural movements inclined to reflect social, cultural and philosophical streams by using the most recent construction methods. The swift and fluent flow of the information is the major aspect of the 21th century’s life; by using them in the conceptual design process we will approach to a groundbreaking formal concept in architecture which is: ‘’ Lightness ” Considering the main aspects of the area’s vernacular architecture (Iran’s northern ridge) and also using the general architectural elements and hierarchic disciplines of the “BAZAAR” we reached a coherent form which along with simplicity and modernity is attendant to principles of Iran’s ethnic traditional architecture.

Snow sanctuary Fall 2015 Parametric structural design 300 sqft units
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V43vXLfqhZk
Snow Sanctuary looks at an aggregative modular system that utilizes structural properties in conjunction with the properties of water. Snow is used to insulate the building, and as it melts, a central detachable pipe recirculates the water into the plumbing. The columns and roof fabric were designed using Karamba and Kangaroo plug-ins. They are built to deflect to a prescribed degree under the average snow load of an arctic region, so as the snow load increases, the interior space becomes smaller and hence, easier to heat. accumulated snow load

War musuem 2010 As interior designer and visualizer Barsian Design group Tehran, Iran The primary approach to the interior design of the war museum was to open up space by eliminating unnecessary walls and use various forms of movable partitions instead, in order to give the visitors freedom to take their desired path when they walk through different galleries. Formal and conceptual ideas of Deconstruction Architecture formed the general visual principles of the exterior and interior design of Tehran War Museum.

United elemnts of Joy Spring 2008 Kindergarden Tehran,Iran 3,000 sqft Kindergarten perimeter as the primary layer in the formation of children’s social character is a bridge between home and society and the place of the first friendships and other experiences for a child as a member of a group. Hence it should prepare the comfort, tranquility and the security of a home; further it should have exciting spaces for explorer kids. This principle illustrated abstractly in this design by composing three presented forms, which inclined by the site position, the functional program and the climate attributions throughout the design process.

Quantum Physics Research Center Fall 2009 Research institution 10,000 sqft In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be “quantized,” referred to as “the hypothesis of quantization”.[1] This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values. There is a related term of quantum number. An example of an entity that is quantized is the energy transfer of elementary particles of matter (called fermions) through bosons and of photons. A photon is a single quantum of light, and is referred to as a “light quantum”. The energy of an electron bound to an atom (at rest) is said to be quantized, which results in the stability of atoms, and of matter in general. As incorporated into the theory of quantum mechanics, this is regarded by physicists as part of the fundamental framework for understanding and describing nature at the infinitesimal level. Normally quanta are considered to be discrete packets with energy stored in them. Max Planck considered these quanta to be particles that can change their form (meaning that they can be absorbed and released). This phenomenon can be observed in the case of black body radiation, when it is being heated and cooled.
