Who What: Architect, Urban designer and planner, Dreamer When: From now on. Where: The possibilities are endless. How: Collaboration, Education, Experience, Inspiration, Intuition is intensive worker and a performer. I have always had a unexplainable Hello, my name is Marjan strong interest in art, Sarab. I graduated from mathematics, the way university of art in Tehran, people live and storytelling, Iran, in June 2010 after so I was naturally directed receiving my bachelor’s down to urban design and in urban design and architecture path. planning. experience has In September 2010, I got My admitted in university of helped me to find my Eindhoven in architecture main interest, but most and 2 years after, in importantly they gave me August 2012 I received the opportunity to work in my master in architecture. a team both as a leader or otherwise be cooperative, I grow up in metropolitan, and I realized how to with approximately 12 centralize group efforts to million inhabitants. reach a better result as a Since childhood I have team. been an active artist, curious learner, an I believe that design is a Why Everything architecture
full-circle, collaborative process that should involve multiple discipline. Furthermore, I believe in making goals and working hard to complete those goals, the importance of an unbreakable system of family and friends, and that a good (or bad) joke can fix just about anything. Computers are nowadays dominating the architectural field, but I will always value the natural fluidity modeling, and full-scaling mock-ups. My passion for architecture and design continues to grow everyday as I see this as not only a professional choice, but a way of life.

Who: Marjan Sarab What: An Iconic Urban Leisure Zone + Media + Hotel When: September 2011 a 12 months Where: Cologne, Germany How: Site Visit, Research, Analysis, Models, Sketchup, Auto CAD, InDesign, Illustrato Photoshop, Kerkythea Why In the center of Cologne, lies Heumarkt, a square with a rich history. Between Heumarkt and Rhine, Maritime Hotel is located. In the current situation there is a tension between traffic, Heumarkt, hotel and promenade. Heumarkt is no longer a complete square, function of promenade is lost, traffic does not create an appealing urban environment, Maritime Hotel represents a huge scale in its context which currently is not fitting. The proposal is to convert the “no man’s land� that currently is an island to a new way of active and public life. This happens not through outlining each of them, in reverse to
expand the public activities to the city, creating a blurred transformation from urbanity to architecture and landscape. The hotel, roads, metro and river will allow the site for a multi programming, hybrid activities and most importantly increased interaction between people and programs. A multi functional building which combines public and private, visitor and residents, commercial and culture function is a single location in heart of cologne. Shops, restaurant, cultural events on the first levels of hotel bonded with to Rhine River from of one side and the other side a public plaza and connection between metro station, hotel and parking. Hotel rooms will be on the higher levels and
everything is expending out to the roof garden and outdoor traces for everybody. Like a contemporary interpretation of the archway or passage, the hotel forms a generous cover for the public life beneath and creates a diverse experience when moving in or around the building. The building is an urban space, rather than a building, and will Be bold and well-adjusted, unique and local at the same time. But most importantly building generates life around and within it, as life in city evolves so will the Maritim hotel. Maritim Hotel will be a gate and a point of reference for the city. What is a gate, but a significant point you pass?

Industrial Waterfront
Food Cam p us Who: Marjan Sarab What: Cooking Academy, Urban Garden, Market, Kitchen and Dining Room for the Community When: Winter 2011 - 5 months Where: Helmond, Netherlands How: Site Visit, Master Plan, Vectorworks , Models, Sketchup, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Kerkythea, Sketchup
Since the main functions there are a supermarket and a food museum, it has been decided to use all the elements in the site to turn it to a Food Campus. The meaning of food is an exploration of culture through food. What we consume, how we acquire it, who prepares it, who’s at the table and who eats first is a form of communication that is rich with meaning. This site along the Canal of Helmond wants to attract people and bring them closer with one common interest: Food. And use this opportunity to teach them everything about food and be a rural area in middle of the city. Why The project is about reusing the industrial canal in city of Helmond that soon will run out of business. After the site visit, the way of movement stroked me. It was a contradiction to what a canal and waterfront should be... A leisure and natural site which is pleasant to walk along. By mapping the movements rage, the areas for redesigning became into attention which the master plan was its result. The most urgent location was chosen to be design. The location is the end point of the route.
One can choose to buy ingredients from supermarket or the market of urban agricultural land, go to food museum, learn how to cook or actually study cooking to become a chef, plant vegetable, or go to a slow food restaurant on the roof top. The lost industry can turn to a new and active one. The combination of functions would be urban agriculture, reuse water tower for irrigation, food market, food museum, slow food restaurant and cooking academy.

Why On November 2011, Elir workshop occurred in university of Eindhoven. It was an international workshop for two weeks. Participating Universities were included: Universita’degli Studi di Firenze,Facolta’di Ingegneria, Italy Gazi University Ankara, Turkey Lusofona University of Humanity and Technology Lisbon, Portugal Hafen City Universität Hamburg, Germany Zachodniopomorski Uniwersytet Technologiczny Wszczecinie, Poland University of Technology Tampere, Finland Universität Innsbruck, Austria Associated Universities University of Oregon, USA
In this workshop, every student would be in random group with a random teacher from different universities. The workshop was about industrial waterfronts in Netherlands and reusing them in a sustainable way. After my design for industrial canal, I was really interested to work on another similar project. So I applied for that and I was one of the lucky 5 students from Eindhoven to be attending the workshop. Communication and leading were a important factors in the workshop.
worked on the same site form 5 month but now I should have forgot every piece of my design and start from zero and come up with a new design strategy. Nevertheless, I got to work with brick. I visited a brick factory and build my own brick and later that week, we had a group challenge to design and build a brick arc with 200 brick in 4 hours. At the end of the challenge we would put weight on the arc and a bicycle should cycle under it. The result was surprising even for me! Just a complication for my previous design.
Amazingly, I end up in the group for Helmond! The exact city I worked before.
The experience was also highly valuable for me , since I automatically became a leader and presenter of the group.
The experience of the design was highly interesting fro me. I

The museum has a changing and a permanent collection, but due to the restrictions in size of the building, the permanent collection can never be shown.
extension does not need to only extend the size of the museum; it must also improve the international status of the museum. The museum has expressed ambitions to enlarge its international influence, starting with its name, Centre International d’Art et de Culture; CIAC.
Therefore an extension is needed. However, this
The design tries to make a bond between the building
and natural surrounding. It is a tree house, giving another dimension to the park. Main characteristics of the extension are as following: - Sequences of the spaces - Possibility for other activities such as music concert, performance and ‌ - Established together in urban environment - Views and perspectives
