Majer said, “I would have never expected that a project of this manageable size would be to win such a prize and gain such a forum.” Using Vectorworks to Create Award-Winning Designs The Design Scholarship winner also noted her award, saying how appreciative she was for the recognition. “Ultimately, it is very important to me - within these framework conditions - to never forget about the beauty of proportion, form, and eventually atmosphere.” As a student, I have the privilege to not be part of the market, and therefore to not be forced to adapt too much to these sorts of restraints,” said Majer. “Generally, it is important to me to stay aware of the political and environmental issues connected to architectural design and practice. And, such a strategy is another one to consider when creating eco-conscious designs. We, frankly, love this point made by the award-winner. The designer first shared how “five layers of simple roof battens are screwed together and fixed with prefabricated frames.” She then went on to say, “Although a simple construction method, it is not only enormously sustainable due to its material, but also makes for an efficient construction process.” Majer concludes about a misconception she perceives in the industry, noting that “innovation” can be a simple, yet powerful solution.
In fact, it’s the guiding principle for the construction method. The simplicity doesn’t stop there for Majer. With its materiality, too, it fits into the small scale of the medieval city center in half-timbered construction and sandstone.” Majer said, “Based on the simple design of old river baths with a low figure and deep eaves, the special atmosphere of the place remains in balance. When discussing both the design and atmosphere of her project, Majer regularly returns to one word: “simple.” There is simplicity in the space in which her design lives. have mostly lost their meaning as public buildings.” Majer further explained her guiding inspiration by saying, “Historically, the bath was a place to gather and meet, but also a place of cleanliness, care, and deep connection with water as a natural element.” Majer stated, “Today, the ‘bath’ as concept has become reduced to its sportive functions. It is here where Majer decided to experiment with the modern idea of the “bath” by looking towards the past. Majer’s award-winning public bathhouse is located near the medieval center of Erfurt, the capital of the German state of Thuringia. Majer’s newly-won scholarship is aiding in her pursuit of a graduate degree at ETH. In fact, Majer’s project which won her the Richard Diehl Scholarship was also used as her bachelor thesis project. Majer attended Bauhaus Universität Weimar, where she received a bachelor’s degree.
