Alex Kirschstein and Clemens Berresheim from Germany

We are both students at the Muenster School of Architecture and close to graduating with a Bachelor’s degree.

Brief information about the projects that you/your company have been involved with. For instance what scale have you focused on/preferred, any significant projects where company/ individuals have been involved?

Student projects from temporary structures to large urban scale proposals. We think out of the box and solve problems with a realistic and optimistic approach.

What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?

Architecture and its process brings all kinds of professions and individuals together. We believe that good architects act as mediators between all, while also bringing in their forward-thinking and responsible attitude.

Why do you participate in architecture vision competitions?

After having successfully completed student projects together we decided to bring our work to the next level.

What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture vision competitions?

Any architecture vision competition will help you to become a better architect. Have confidence, stay focused and learn to question your proposals during the creative process. Especially if you are still a student, you have nothing to lose.
