is
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. 9

At low tide, these two islands are connected. Veur Lent is incremented for buildings while between the new city bridge crossing the railway bridge and an island serving festivities is realized. From 2014 - when the secondary channel is completed - these islands shaped. The whole has a length of 1600 meters. Between these redesigned headland and the historic town lies the Waal with a width of 300 meters. The doubling of the Waal and the development of the city is the largest island national project
in the framework of Space for the river. Around 2025, the entire project was completed Nijmegen. The purpose of the contest Design a city island is a contribution to the debate on the content and design of the new shape island. It aims to creativity designers and administrators around these themes to excite. The results are enablers in an urban debate involving the interested Nijmegen may be involved.

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 C am pus 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.

STARTERS HOUSING 7X865: SEMINAR TECTONICS OF BASICS

STARTERS HOUSING 7X865: SEMINAR TECTONICS OF BASICS
Why Starters on the housing market are in general young and ambitious, but fi nancially rather weak. The crucial theme of housing design for this target group therefore is scarcity. They can’t have it all. Nonetheless residential projects for starters show a huge variety in their appearance. The main goal of the seminar was to investigate how architects deal with
the complicated puzzle of preferences and priorities among all those parameters that in the end add up to the allin construction costs. Eighteen projects have been chosen to illustrate the links between the mix of decisions, requirements and approaches, and the variety in the resulting designs. In order to visualize such a complex overview a set of logos and pictograms has been developed facilitating the comparison of otherwise very distinctive projects, each showing their specific mix of
‘unique selling points’. The results were presented in a leafl et-like layout per project referring to the compact visual culture of realestate agencies. Eighteen projects are hardly enough to get a complete or even an appropriate perspective on starters housing. More elaborate research is recommended, but this makes a wonderful starting point. Maarten Willems - Seminar Tutor February 2012

Explanation Exhibition
STARTERS HOUSING
7X865: SEMINAR TECTONICS OF BASICS
A “starter” is a person who is entering the market, in housing for sale, for the first time. For a house to be known as interesting for starters, it will have to meet with certain requirements. Sometimes the municipality will label houses in this category, so they will get more grip on spreading different layers of people over certain areas. But normally it will all depend on which characteristics will fit best to an individual person who is willing to buy a first house. Price, square meters, volume, sustainability, collective space, parking, location, distance to the centre, having your own garden, etc. These characteristics have all been categorized by different logos. Depending on the size and accent of the logos it will be clear what the most important element in each project is. The colored lines on each table will show the price per m2 proportion “what you see, is what you get!”. Starting with blue as the cheapest price per m2 it will end with red as the most expensive price. But don’t just judge by this proportion while every project will have its own special element, where other starters would love to pay for. Be free to admire the models and read the descriptions, so hopefully you will find the elements which will be most important for yourself. Remember, there won’t be just one ultimate starter project, because we discovered there is always someone willing to pay more for a smaller space because of another special value he or she will find interesting. Opening Exhibition: 20 January 2012 at 16:00u Closing Exhibition: 03 February 2012 at 16:00u
56
Explanation Logos Every project is graded by these logos. They might differ in three forms; 1) Logo is grey; this characteristic will not be of matter in that project. 2) Logo is black; this characteristic will be of matter in that project. 3) Logo is bigger and colored; this means that this characteristic will be essential in that project.

Who: Marjan Sarab What: Renovating a apartment interior for a client When: Fall 2011 - 1 month Where: Tehran, Iran How: AutoCAD, Sketchup
Re novating a Unit Why Almost close to the end of 2011, I got a call from my cousin. She just have bought a house but she does not like the distribution of rooms in her small apartment. The fact that bedroom and kitchen has the most light
and living room less light, was bothering her a lot. Base on her request, I made a new plan for her apartment which match what she want. The solution were simple and easy: First corridor to have more privacy in living room and kitchen. And corridor distribute all the rooms. The bedroom has
no window base on her request since she would only use it at nights for sleeping and not having light would not bother her. Also the air conditioner will solve the ventilation in her room. The kitchen and living room have the most light and windows. And it is connected to balcony.

Revolution of Architectural Perfection and Nature Adaptation

Who: Marjan Sarab What: Green Architecture Competition - Concepts and Strategies When: Winter 2011 - 1 Week Where: Any where How: Hand sketching, InDesign, Photoshop Why The territories of the cities are over loaded. As it has been said in the competition itself extreme land uses in urban make it impossible to develop green spaces in low costs. The solutions such as green roofs and green facades seem like a good plan although they are not open to public. Also growing towards the villages and open space, is not a good option anymore. So the question is “why change when we can adopt?� If the purpose of a green development is to bring back the biodiversity that have been lost through the human actions, the perfect location would be empty abounded space inside/ edge or outside of the cities. In landscape and urban landscape, there are buildings (usually big scale) which have been abounded; such as offices, hotels, industrial buildings and etc. These buildings would cost any municipalities a large amount of money to destroy or renovate it for a new function. So the result is some human leftovers with no use, empty, waste spaces and sometimes dangerous and pretty noticeable. When these buildings are located outside of the cities, in a normal situation, the nature will claim them and take over them. Nature has the
power to take over man-made architecture; slowly. What if, we start the same process and this time by help of our technologies speed it up and make a pure and wild green development with species that can produce products for industries such as medicine, food and simply add quality to city, its surrounding and our landscapes as a source of oxygen and beauty. No one can deny the need of land within the cities in the urbanism century. Whether we want or not, our cities need to develop horizontally or vertically which both have disadvantages. If a city is trying to grow towards the green spaces outside of the city, we can also do the other way around. Let the nature grow into the city in its pure and wild look. The whole world can look like a big city and at the same time a big jungle. By this solution we can have: - Sustainable use of empty facilities, - Public Green Space, - Attraction for some functions that can use the space such as schools, - A break through from the routine, - A force to make new occupiers use the green space later on.
vs. nature. The influence of this method in the future would be revealed in designing of each building. It is a next step to green architecture to think in designing process with the consideration how nature can take over it and how it should look like; whether if it is abounded or occupied. In this way we will grow our own jungle in the city. Next generation of architects will be educated by such rule to consider an organic or designed green space. The Green Architecture will start to grow with the buildings themselves. No matter of function or type of architecture, they will adopt to accept green in designs. Soon will be no concern about green spaces since the green and city grow together. So in the opinion of the writer, green developments, should become wild and pure as an impression of Relief of nature from the core of city and architectural elements. Relief as alleviation, ease or deliverance through the removal of pain or stress. Relief as money, food or other help given to cities in poverty or need of Green. Relief as something affording a pleasing change, as from monotony.
The intention of this proposal is actually make a concept of a harsh vs. harsh; man-made

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 focus of the design is: - A landmark routing - Sequences of landmarks Balance, freedom, At this moment, there are Nevertheless, there are mobility, option rarely perfect cities.
