Designing
spaces that
think & breathe.
Dr. Marjan Ilbeigi works where architecture meets data — using simulation, post-occupancy evaluation and generative AI to design buildings that use less energy and feel better to live in.

01Introduction
Architecture, measured by the people who live in it.
Over more than a decade of research, teaching and practice across Iran and Oman, Marjan has built a body of work around one conviction: a good building is both beautiful and accountable. Her research connects how people perceive and experience space with how buildings perform — then turns that evidence into design.
