Design a sustainable food court structure for the heart of a classical music festival

We’d like to take the opportunity to introduce you to one of our Honorable mention winner for our "The Marker Design Challenge" competition – Asli Cinar from Germany!
Asli Cinar from Germany
In 2017 I completed my bachelor’s in architecture at the HfT Stuttgart. Afterwards I received my master’s degree at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences and returned to my hometown near Stuttgart in 2020. Since then, I have been working as a salaried architect in an office in Stuttgart. In between I have worked independently on smaller projects and every now and then I also try my hand at small art projects.
I personally see in architecture the possibility to create personal spaces. Each project is not only unique by itself, but also individually tangible for each person. In addition, nowadays as architects we have a special responsibility for the future, both to act sustainably and to create a certain awareness of this.
I see architectural competitions as an opportunity to focus on the roots of the design process. Every project and every competition is individual, and therefore a new challenge to broaden my personal horizon.
A building is not there overnight. It is going through a long process in which it evolves. Therefore, competitions are an opportunity for our personal process to develop further. It doesn't matter if we lose or win, as long as we are satisfied with our own design, because there is always someone better. But what matters is how much better you have become.
