The building extends the width of the inner harbor in Hamburg, Germany, serving as both a bridge and a museum. Drachenberg’s vision was to create a space that “intends to be a kind of amplifier of this virtual-physical reality,” he writes on his website. “The Other Place” is an interactive museum which “reflects on the multiple diverse identities of the digital world.” stipendium-architektur-3 Alexander Drachenberg, a 2017 Scholarship winner.

Florian Rothermel
Rothermel, a graduate of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, wanted his project to showcase his interest in the relationship between natural power and human structures. So he designed a railway station in the Alps called “Bergwärts.” rothermel-scholarship Florian Rothermel, whose project “Bergwärts” was recognized in the 2017 Vectorworks Design Scholarship.

The software offered him an intuitive space to generate a remarkable rendering from 2D schematics.
