Sadaf Khalil Zare

Profile My name is Sadaf Khalil Zare. I hold a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Architecture from KU Leuven and I am a recent graduate of the Landscape Architecture program at the University of Cincinnati, USA. For me, Architecture has never been limited to a specific culture or country. Therefore, I traveled to experience and study Architecture in different contexts and from different points of view. Through my travels and studies in three different continents I came to conclusion that Architecture is also beyond just a building and it is the group of relations that create Architecture, which includes public, collective and private space relations. Further on, to deepen my knowledge and experience, I studied different majors in Architecture to be able to have a comprehensive view over what Architecture means and its international facetedness. Through this Journey, I got my B.S. in Architecture from Urmia University in Iran where I was born. Afterwards, I got my first Master in Architecture and Sustainability from KU Leuven (Sint Lucas) in Belgium which was highly focused on social aspects of sustainability and urban relations. Finally, I got my second Master in Landscape Architecture from the University of Cincinnati in the United states of America to fill in the gaps that I experienced to have during my design processes. Also during my studies in Belgium, I got the chance to already attend the University of Cincinnati as an exchange student and spent a semester in the Community Planning of UC, which gave me the opportunity to see the bigger picture of projects. As a result of my studies and professional experiences, I gained a more comprehensive view on Architectural projects with understanding of not only a building and its construction details but also in a broader scale, its socio-economic aspects and environmental affects. All these years of multidisciplinary study, international experiences and competitions, strengthened me in different ways, especially in working in diverse groups and while interacting in new multilingual and multicultural environments. Moreover, It grew me in a way that I am open and flexible to any new situation that I encounter, while keeping a clear view on the subject. I am convinced that my passionate, hardworking and open character will be an asset to every company that I will be collaborating with. July 2019 Sadaf Khalil Zare

Framework Louisville’s mayor recently set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050 while working to achieve a city that is resilient, equitable and environmentally just. Building on the Global Covenant of Mayors’ three step process: conducting the inventory, setting a reduction target and creating a strategy to meet the target; the studio leveraged urban ecology strategies to align with this initiative. The Office of Sustainability asked for strategies in how communities will support the goals for a resilient, equitable and environmentally just city. To reach these goals, this studio worked in California neighborhood which is located in west Louisville and measured the landscape change through time to set the baselines of the project based in thes e changes to be able to interact with the residents and have a viable project by addressing their issues through the time and bold their historical and cultural assets.

This conceptual section shows the function relations of part of the site, which indicates that production and entertainment are working hand in hand.

Design brief The Project “Cultural Timelessness” is located in a historic site in California neighborhood which was belonged to”Fisher Klosterman” Distillery. This project measures landscape change in terms of population decline that happened in the neighborhood from 1960s and aims to hinder California’s population loss by increasing neighborhood satisfaction and sense of attachment. Moreover, it tries to attract more resident to the neighborhood at the first stage by targeting the industrial zone employees and create a hub for them inside the neighborhood in terms of both a public space that serves them as a break area and also residential infill. At the same time the project aims to attract tourists by creating connections to the city through creating an “Urban Bourbon trail”. In terms of sense of attachment and neighborhood satisfaction, by referring back to the manufacturing and productive core of Louisville and California, this project tries to bring this cultural asset inside the site especially by focusing on the healthy food production by keeping in mind that the neighborhood is located in a food desert zone. During the design process the study got inspired by the modern forces that have been changing the culture through the time such as sub-urbanization,shift to service industries and etc. which all caused to change in the life pattern and also our landscapes. By bringing in this modern forces inside the design the designer tries to bring the awareness to the society in terms of ow some of these modern forces are replacing our green infrastructure and changing the landscape. In the next pages you can see how these inspirations are translated into the design.

As it is explained in the design brief, one of the major goals of the design is to attract more residents to the area and bring the attention to the neighborhood. In order to reach this goal and use the assets of the neighborhood, the designer takes advantage of the two distillery headquarters in the neighborhood and wants to connect this distilleries to the whiskey row in downtown and Stitzel Weller distillery in south of the neighborhood, by creating an Urban walk/bike Bourbon trail. This trail will have different hubs along it, which one of the hubs of California is the focus of this design.

Site Plan White oak is one of the main components in Bourbon making process. While working with different elements of this process, I got inspired by the White Oak bark and used it as the base in the site plan as agrarian Landscapes.

1.Transformation of Oak bark into base of the plan. Area of the site: 3 Hectares

2.Straight lines in 2. the design representing modern forces that changed Louisville through time and the type of design around these lines is different from organic lines.

Describing the design in terms of Ecosystem services

Ecosystem services are the direct and indirect contributions of ecosystems to human well-being. They support directly or indirectly our survival and quality of life. This study investigated the issues of the neighborhood in terms of these services and answers them via cautious design.

Framework Living & Working streetscapes Master thesis project|KU Leuven Project Location: Cincinnati, OH, USA July 2017

The framework that I have chosen for my Master Dissertation project is the streetscape Territories research project Directed by Dr.Kris Scheerlinck. Streetscape Territories deals with models of proximity within a street, neighborhood or region and starts from the assumption that urban space, from the domestic scale till the scale of the city, can be understood as a discontinuous collective space, containing different levels of shared use that are defined by multiple physical, cultural or territorial boundaries.

Design brief

The elevation shows transformation from an introverted facade of an art gallery to extrovert design of the study.

West End was once a dense and thriving neighborhood of single-family homes and businesses. However, much of the historic West End was essentially demolished beginning in 1956, when city officials used federal funds to raze the area in the name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban renewal.â&#x20AC;? Analysis show that in-spite of its close proximity to downtown and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic character, the main problem of the neighborhood is segregation from rest of the city and safety issues which creates un-walkablity at the result. Different studies and analysis prove that feeling of safety is not only about crimes that is happening in a neighborhood, but also it is about the reflection of the space and how Streetscapes play role in this reflection by their character, levels of collectivity, activity and plinth designs. The General design purpose is to introduce how extroversion and introversion of facades,plinth design and block permeability can affect safety perception in a neighborhood. Further more, it introduces that how re-organizing existing active open spaces such as open air storages can have positive effect on street liveliness. To answer the scope of design,the study developed a working-living corridor-building as an affordable option for startups, new businesses and artists that need a place that they can use it both as their living area and working area.The corridor is built on an open air storage of an existing art gallery to show the transformation from introversion to extroversion. The corridor is building of flexibility and not solid decisions that allows consumer to adjust it to his/ her needs. A simple grid that can change easily to different types of living and working areas. In a larger scale the building connects 2 urban blocks through a corridor(building) that lots of activitiesc an happen through. Different shared spaces are designed to integrate the locals in the project. As an example, garden walls are re-arranged to create shared gardens between existing residential building with new building residents.

As mentioned the project is designed based on different levels of collectiveness to bring together and integrate people. Following diagrams are indicating the levels of collectiveness in the design. Based on the point that car is an essential part of the life int the city, all units are designed with parking spot, but at the same time some units are adjustable to integrate the parking inside the building if needed so the units can embrace the parking and get bigger.

The Fuse ULI National competition|UC| Project Location: Toronto,ON,Canada January 2018

The ULI Hines Competition,is one of the core education initiatives of Urban Land Institute .It offers students in the US and Canada, the opportunity to form multidisciplinary teams and engage in a challenging exercise in responsible land use .Our group was a combination of 2 MARCH,1 MLA and 1MCP students in design team and 1 real estate student for financing. Design was done collaboratively among design team and everyone worked on every part st some point and it makes it hard to say who worked on which part specifically.

Design brief The site of the project is located in east side of downtown Toronto in 25-30 min walking distance to it. The site is encapsulated with a recent residential project in west(West Don) and two future projects in south: a huge office based development (East harbor)and a Transit hub, a magnitude of transit, which will work locally and regionally and a strong low rise residential in north of the neighborhood(Riverdale). The FUSE bridges the gap between these diverse developments through a mix of uses for the community by strategically focusing on production, interaction, and collaboration. The project anticipates a great need for diversifying the surrounding communities’ economic and social needs by developing a vast array of new opportunities. This is done through the development of FUSE Hall and Volt Lab. Fuse Hall is directed towards culinary entrepreneurs and locals to provide a place to begin and space to grow through Food stalls, kitchen incubators, markets, and a variety of commercial space within it which have flexibility to adapt to day and night time activities. Coupled with production of culinary skills the project operates as an interactive entertainment space through restaurants and bars. The Volt Lab offers diverse economic opportunities through the Volt Incubator, Living Laboratory, and co-working space. By beginning in the Volt incubator, entrepreneurs get their start receiving the help they need. They refine their ideas working together in the co-working space. Finally receiving real time feedback in the Living Laboratory, which is designed as an interactive networking and market space for members of the Volt. In which the have a space to test products to the open market of The FUSE. The FUSE will be a destination of interdisciplinary opportunities and industry classification due to focusing upon production, interaction, and collaboration. 20

The design has the flexibility to be utilized on cold winter days,the roof structure preserves the space below it from cold and keeps being alive and skate plaza turns into an ice-skiing plaza to be a winter attraction .

Market place on the ground floor and food stalls on the first floor are the food attractions for the area, both during the day and night that will bring people from the project and developments around together .

Framework The Ascend ULI local competition|UC| Project Location: Cincinnati,Ohio November:2016

The Urban Land Institute provides leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide. To be acquainted and prepared for the national competition university of Cincinnati holds a local competition yearly among UC students. The project was a group work of 2MARCH and 1 MCP and 2 business students. The site of the project was in Downtown Cincinnati â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s riverfront which currently hosts Hilltop concrete manufacturing.

Design brief This Project looks to accomplish the goal of bringing more population down to the riverfront and enhancing the experience of living downtown while further extending the park system west down river. It will also create a new market in an area previously industrial dominated west of Paul Brown Stadium.

Green infrastructure Cultural Recreation Mixed Use Residential Religious Commercial Industrial

The mixed use development aims to accommodate the new Urbanism movement with empty nesters and millennials looking find space in the downtown area. Our development will take advantage the prime location of the land is enhanced by the transformation of downtown Cincinnati, which has undergone much transformation and development in the past 20 years. Some of the Projects close to this site are Great American Ballpark, Paul Brown Stadium, The Banks mixed-use development, and Smale Riverfront Park. The development team has proposed to design and develop a residential complex of 203 family units at market rate and commercial space of 246,600 SF comprising of office space, hotel rooms, and multi-tenant retail with provision for aquaponics as well as a wellness center (gym). The proposed development would accompany an addition to the park system and a large parking garage with 1,366 spots to service the development and surrounding downtown attractions. The mix has been deliberately chosen to articulate the theme of healthy urban living in mixed use space. Residents and visitors to Ascend will be able to experience a style of urban living new to Cincinnati that will attract more people to reside in and experience one the most unique developments in Cincinnati.

Framework Interaction & Profession yard Rethinking of borders Master Design Studio 2|KU Leuven Project Location: Gent,Belgium June 2016

The site is located in a multi-cultural neighborhood of almost 70% Turkish and Bulgarian immigrants in Gent,Belgium. According to the interviews with local people,lack of a family place is one of the major problems in the area. There are hundreds of garage boxes in this area, even though each house has its own parking garage around. Based on the fact that Gent is attempting to be a car-free city and the center of it is totally car-free right now,I saw these garage boxes as a potential to be converted to courtyards as collective family spaces since it is inside a group of houses and it can have a sense of collectivity for them with small interventions,so I tried to involve them in the project by playing with the borders of the houses with the plot, my idea was to keep existing boxes as much as I can and give them functions with little interventions and structure reinforcement and by mixing functions keep courtyard alive and attractive for neighbors.

Design brief In line with my idea, I got inspired by the profession school just beside the plot. The school is a place which mostly immigrants who don’t have jobs go there to learn skills,but it doesn’t have enough space like ateliers which they can implement what they have learned and exhibit it. Therefore, This plot can serve them as a missing courtyard and workshop space which will bring locals there too. To give the sense of belonging to the courtyard for the neighbors around the space and also the school, the study decided to rethink the borders of the houses with the courtyard which is already a 2-2.30 meter high wall. To redesign the borders,I defined 4 categories of neighbors that are living around and started to design the borders from visible to not solid through that. First category is neighbors who are outgoing and fine with sharing their gardens. Second category is neighbors who want to share an area with each other but not with strangers ,and the third category is ones who doesn’t like to share their space and just make it visible through and the last category is one which they don’t want their wall to be touched. Therefore, I designed the borders according to each category. As an example, for outgoing ones,I offset their garden walls and made collective garden for family gatherings , barbecue,reading books,etc,the design of the border is also taken into account that gardens are visible and the border is designed as a bookshelf itself. As a result a live semi public courtyard for all family members and students is created. 30

Framework A climate for Living, a Time for Working|Social housing Master Design Studio 1|KU Leuven Project Location: Antwerp,Belgium January 2016

The goal of studio was to investigate the Hoboken- a low-income,multicultural neighborhood- to find out how the life quality can be increased by small interventions. Lack of identity,livability were issues that captured my attention in area and to intervene I chose a parcel around the 3 existing social house blocks because of detachment of social blocks from street and the design of them which was making it too obvious that it is social housing & Limited number of activities in the area that is leading to quietness .

Design brief Public-Human life quality was the main focus during the design. I tried to build a connections between people and street in towers and burst street life by paying attention to public and collective areas both inside and outside the buildings and kept the sense of neighborhood in design process which is an important aspect in belgian culture. -The street line and facade heights are following the existing situation to create the connection both to the low-rise buildings around and the height rising is to make connections to the existing towers . -Ground floor is a combination of commercial spaces and facilities for the neighborhood like cafes,small retails and a kindergarten plus different public and collective spaces for all ages. -The big public space is the core of the design in street level which allows for pop-up events and weekly neighborhood markets which is very common in the area. -New playground redesigned little bit far from main street to be safer for kids. Residential- Nowadays in Belgium most of social houses are designed for small families and families with 5,6 members are facing problems. Therefore, residential buildings are designed for families with 4,5 and 6 members. There are 5 typologies for residential flats and to solve the connection problem with street due to height of towers, I tried to have large balconies in each type. -all balconies have shadings with greenery to keep connection with green spaces too. -All of the houses has their own bicycle storage at their floors.

Existing Site

Existing situation includes an open parking and a playground(basketball and soccer).

Residential areas added above the activities .

The main purpose is to bring more people to this place and make it more alive and give identity. Therefore activities are located in ground floor.

Activities and added residential towers will burst the sense of neighborhood and make the area more alive.

Framework Adaptive Re-use|Youth center Zero Impact Building|KU Leuven Project Location: Gent,Belgium June 2016

The goal of the course was to adaptively re-use the existing Sint Josef church and at the same time make it zero impact. The church of Sint Josef is located at the core of the neighborhood of Rabot. . Rabot is located in northeast of center, about 15 minutes walk from it. It is quite well connected by public transport to the other parts of the city. Rabot is a multi-cultural mostly Muslim neighborhood and thats the reason that the church is under-utilized but at the same time in front of the church is the main gathering place in the neighborhood.

Design brief As mentioned,There is a strong sense of community among some of the multicultural groups, but not all of them are interacting. Moreover there is a current state of chaos on the main street, mainly caused by unmanaged traffic and pedestrian flows. The aim of the project is therefore to bring the inhabitants of Rabot altogether in a place they can identify with and that can be a reference for them, starting from the youth, which we see as the future of the neighborhood and as potential mediators among adults. As the Sint Josef church will be reconstructed in 2017, this would be an excellent place to take over for a youth center, but also a green energy producing gym, that will host everyone who is willing to work out and with their work out they can produce energy ,and some quiet areas to study together with a cafeteria where the community is also welcome. Project Brief Below are some highlights of the Project regarding to be zero impact number of users: 300 total m2 : 3711.4 m2 Energy heating = 54.9 kWh/m2.yr total energy demand = 50.9 kWh/m2.yr total energy production = 57 kWh/m2.yr energy production = 21.4 kWh/m2.yr by Pv Panels 3.76 kWh/m2.yr by Pedal-A-Watt 27.5 kWh/m2.yr by Wind Turbines 4.4 kWh/m2.yr by Solar Collectors Water total water demand: 624000 l/yr Treatment water pond 38

Framework Campus Sukkah Winning project of Campus Sukkah design Competition|Cincinnati,Ohio October,2016

A Sukkah is a temporary structure used as the primary space for one week during the Jewish festival of Sukkot to celebrate the harvest. Sukkah structure must follow some specific features and rules to be accepted as “Kosher” including the use of organic materials for the roof and ability to see the sky through it. UC Campus Sukkah competition was a design competition which was followed by a construction phase of the project as the winning team. The design team was consist of four members which were the leading members during the construction phase.

Design brief The idea for designing a Sukkah at the University of Cincinnati campus came from the simplicity of the traditional form as well as dynamic interior space of it. Inside of a Sukkah is alive, flexible and responsive. The exterior form of the design is a cuboid made from vertical cardboard tubes. This simple cuboid shape has a more complicated form on the inside. The ceiling and interior spaces are made of different cuts of the tubes to create a flow of different sizes of tubes extruded inside the cuboid. The selection of the cardboard tubes as the main material of the structure was based on multiple reasons: This material is recyclable and reusable. It is strong enough for a temporary structure and can become water resistant in different ways. Another considerable reason was reusing the existing number of cardboard tubes which were available on the campus at the moment. Construction:The construction process took one week and almost 1400 tubes used for the project. For ease of transportation and also testing the structure, the structure divided into sections of 5-6 rows and each section has glued indoors and tightened to resist stretching with a rope passing through it, afterwards each section moved outside and sprayed with water resistant spray and drilled with metal bolts plus gluing to stick to the others. The tubes were cut to create the indoor seats of structure too. The structure could resist the heavy rains for almost two weeks and didn’t collapse.
