BANAFSHEH NAMIRANIAN | Interdisciplinary Architect Designer |

[Based In Berlin , Germany / Born in 1985]

>>> I am interdisciplinary architect designer, based in cologne, but also willing for new experiences. My super power is to develop concepts and creative strategies for complex design problems.

Design has always been a favorite. Graduating from the bachelor of architecture, I continued my education by attending different workshops and master courses, exploring design in architecture. I trained and challenged myself through different architectural fields and modern design trends, such as; Interior Design, Parametric Design, Sustainable Design, Modern Design in Historical Herritages and ultimately by the master of �Integrated Design�.

As the result of my education, I grew myself into a free thinker with a critical and interdisciplinary view to the design process. The approach that I take to my work is very much simplistic but also multidimensional. As a design thinker I take architecture not only as a practice of forms! but I believe it is based on strategies and typologies. I believe it is the process of design that can transform architecture into an experience of the space.

I love what I do and adore the creative process, it is addictive for me to develope ideas and grow concepts.

/// â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a child learns how to control his hand and starts to paint freely with his fingers, that is the moment where creativity begins!â&#x20AC;? Regio Emilia

Concept Design>>The institute’s education program follows the REGIO EMILIA School which places great emphasis on children’s self-exploration, this is also the concept utilized in the design of the façade. It is meant to be a means of both exploration and expression. A main statement of the institute is “Children can get the most of their creativity when they learn how to paint freely with their hands, the free movements of hand painting is the main inspiration for the design.

We wanted to enable the children to establish a relationship and interaction with the facade, so the circular windows have opened up the wall to introduce interaction.

The design task was the street faรงade that with a 30-meter length alongside one of the busiest streets of the city is a chance to introduce the facilities inside and to intrigue passersby to interact with it. Specifically, children who interact with the colorful and vibrant faรงade is meant to be an introduction to the kindergarten.

Exterior Design >> Going with the design strategy, we defined the main spaces that act as the core in the building. The staircase block and the entrance hall, these are the spaces that children pass them by when they come to school every day or when they go to other classes during the day. So we decided to design this core as a story land.

A place which amuses children and stimulates their creativity. In cooperation with the graphic team we illustrated characters and arranged them all around the space. The characters are designed and arranged in a way that do not give out a fixed image and provides a chance for children to make up new stories with them every time they pass them by and provoke their creativity.

Dr.S. Dermatology Office Type Status Location Date Role

Professional Interior Design Shiraz , Iran 2012 Concept Developer Designer Construction Detailer

/// The project started with a request from a Dermatologist, Dr.Sodeifi, to renovate his office with a new interior design proposal. The Dermatology clinic brings specific needs to the design process. The interior needed to convey serenity, beauty and perfection to prepare patients in waiting for mostly cosmetic procedures for their appointments, especially since at times the clinic gets crowded.Also patients visit the clinic for a variety of procedures.

Design Concept >> The design strategy focuses on the concepts of “integration” and “light” and tries to integrate the necessary furniture into the design of the interior to achieve an integrated interior landscape of lines.

In the development of the design I focus on lines of light and reflection throughout the spaces integrating furniture into architectural elements and integrating the various spaces in the clinic to each other. The design aims for serenity and simplicity and as such the furniture and lighting schemes of the clinic stays in neutral and passive tones interacting with greenery and light. # Increase visual depth Continuous parallel lines on

the walls increase the visual depth of space and emphasize the bottom window of the room.

Spatial Planning >> The interior is planned to provide a second waiting room for the preparation of patients before their appointments and help the staff in crowd control.

The rest of the spaces are structured according to the different functionalities. The clinic has two procedure and consultancy rooms, two waiting areas and a reception area facing the entry point.

Modern Spa Design in Roman Historical Site Type Competition Status Architectural Design Location Rome , Italy Date 2015 Role Concept Developer Interior and Exterior Architectural Co-designer 3D-Modeller

/// The project aims to use traces of ancient roman architecture from the adjacent site and the ruins of the villa, a n d t ra n s l a t e t h o s e t ra c e s i n t o a modern design language, at the same time the project aims to honor the heritage of the surrounding ruins which is among the most important archeological heritage in Rome.

Historical Site Elevation

>> The project brief asked for the design of a modern spa and pool complex functioning separate from the villa.The complex would serve both tourists and locals.The project was designed by a team and evaluated in the competition.

The project is inspired by the archeological sites surrounding the project, yet to preserve the different identity of this project in contrast to that site the design language is decidedly modern, in an effort to create a modern architecture of water inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome. The ruins from the ellipsis fountain in the area have been integrated in the design and the modern language of the new designs. The topography depicts a big difference in height levels in the site and this has been utilized to create two different segments in the design. The open and outdoor water recreational spaces are placed on the upper level separated by a bearing wall integrated inthe design of the lower level indoor swimming pools and spas.

>> The placement of the open water features aims to create the reflection of arches in water which is a staple of roman architecture of the villas, and this concept integrates the new modern language of the design into the old ruins.The spa has different access points to the upper andlower levels. There is also a direct point of entryfromthe ancient villa so that visitors have easy access from these areas.

>> The project aims to use traces of ancient roman architecture from the adjacent site and the ruins of the villa, and translate those traces into a modern design language, at the same time the project aims to honor the heritage of the surrounding ruins which is among the most important archeological heritage in Rome.

The rhythm of the arches from the villa are replicated in the rhythmic volumes of the project, to emphasize and continue the modularity of the arches. Another significant point of the design is that all the wet areas are interconnected so one is able to go through the spaces without going out of the wet zones. Each of these spaces are also accessible from the outside and can be entered and used individually as well.

>> As the ancient roman baths were not just for swimming but a social venue for interaction, relaxation and recreation. Stated to be a place to worship the human body the baths have been appreciated by roman artists in statues and paintings. The spa then turns into an idea of humanism meant for the exhibition of the human body. A museum like interior with flashes of light illuminating the interior baths have been designed to represent this concept, with the light/shadow contrast on the water resembling that of an art exhibit.

Modern Nation of Bauhausers Installation Type Status Location Date Role

Student Conceptuale Dessau , Germany 2019 Design Developer Concept Designer 3D-Modeller

/// Bauhaus 1933 Human is at the heart of the curriculumn. The belief in educability of everyone. Emphesize on self-acknowledgement of individuals to form a community of the future creative leaders. /// Bauhaus 2033 The Democratic concept of what it means to be human. Encourage people to keep alive their inner childâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s sincerity of emotion, truth of observation, fantasy and creativity. Recognize yourself. Experience your image of yourself and find out what is the image of you in the phenomenons of modern world.

>> By the design brief in this project, students were asked to find ideas on how they would see or bring BAUHAUS in modern world. Every designer knows BAUHAUS as an avant-garde, forward-thinking, modern movement with a huge influence on the world of design. and the society mindset! The Bauhaus building as well is an iconic symbol of modernity and functionalism. As a student in Dessau it is easy to realize that the building is just turning into and old, left aside museum with no interaction or any influence on the surrounding communities. People do not get any chance to experience the real BAUHAUS and its values. All they can get is just a tour visit of the house with some explanations but not the real spirit of bauhaus and what lays behind these walls. Therefore we decided we need to BAUHAUS (movement) into a new context and make it possible for everyone to experience. Thereby

# SEQUENCE 1 DE-CONSTRUCTION re-look, re-figure your image

[2010 - 2019]

// DE-CONSTRUCTION

A shock or a pause, to make you stop and look.

// RE-CONSTRUCTION >> Installation Concept This installation is designed to experience the initial concept of Bauhausers 2033. According to the manifesto this movement is a procedure of training the individuals to look and to think differently. The term “different” has various interpretations but in an holistic view it is a procedure of redesigning. The installation is designed into two sequences of DE_CONSTRUCTION and RE_CONSTRUCTION.

#3- Find the image

[2010 - 2019]

#2- Experience

#1- Explore

# BANAFSHEH NAMIRANIAN

>> RE_CONSTRUCTION

There should be a stop, a pause or a shock that drags you out of the daily life and makes you stand face to face with yourself. To re-look and re-recognise the image of yourself. it is a stop that confronts you with yourself.

As you look in the mirrors, as a shock, you find a scattered image of yourself, that is what makes you to question and wonder, to wonder about the real you and the image you have in mind of youself. In the whole process of installation, one searches for his image, the image that he has in mind and the image he sees when he finds himself in confrontation with the phenomenons of the modern world. The second part, RE_CONSTRUCTION, is designed in 3 steps; 1- The first step is exploration, After the experience of scattered reflection of yourself, now one searches to find his image, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t find it right away! when one enters the second part he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;t see any image right away, he needs to walk through and search for it.

2- The columns in this part of installation are designed in a dimension by which one can not see a complete image of himself and always one part will be missing, but because of the angles of the mirrors always the other part will be filled by the reflection of other people around. Meanwhile behind the mirrors there is a big screen which projects some designed images of modern world phenomenons.

This part of installation is an experience of finding yourself in a holistic reflection an it makes you think where are you standing in this modern world, how do you see yourself in this reflection?!

3- After searching and experiencing, when one turns around and comes to the other side of the mirrosrs, It is now time to take a moment, stand and look.

To look from a distance to the whole experience and yet look at the reflections. In this part, because of the two raws of mirrors that are ovelapped, one can finally see his full image, but yet some parts are always filled with the reflections of others! By changing the position one can find his image in combination with different reflections, by changing the position one can find the best composition for designing his own image.

And that is where you finally find and complete the broken image u experienced at the beginning. # BANAFSHEH NAMIRANIAN

Website

The websiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s homepage is the image or the flag of the Bauhausers movement. What forms the basis of this image is the world map, but without any borders or stated outlines.

Whoever becomes a part of this movement uploads his/her picture on this platform and picks a location to upload the picture from. So the whole image shapes according to the location where people upload their pictures from. The whole image is constantly changing through the time by each time someone changes his picture or adds to the pictures! So by this way each piece changes the big image, as it happens in real world, and as it was the most important principle of BAUHAUS that, Each person is educable and by creating more self awareness we can create a betterworld.

Bauhaus Souvenior Model Design Type Status Location Date Role

Student Product Design Dessau , Germany 2018 Design Developer Concept Designer Model Constructor

/// The project brief asked for the design of a model inspired by the characters or the costumes of BAUHAUS, that can be considered or sold as a souvenir of BAUHAUS. The brief required the model to be in a cartoon form and students were asked to finally build the final model themselves. The whole duration of the course was 5 days.

>> Design Process The design process started with fast sketching of different ideas, then each person selected one of the sketches and developed it into a cartoon character. In the next step students developed their design into a real model with clay, in order to undrestand the model in 3 dimensions and fix the details. At the end students developed 3 elevations of Block. The process of construction was a challange itself and students learned how to work with specific machines and tools and handle the problems. >> Design Concept The concept of design was inspired by the geometrical forms and the combination of forms in a complex but coherence composition used in ballet costumes of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oscar Schlemmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

The designed cartoon character can be a cartoon robbot coming back from the BAUHAUS time into a modern world which brings on an irony itself!
