Arch+ | Meet the scholarship holders

Three budding architects have been given the opportunity to develop their skills and reflect on and communicate theoretical aspects of architecture by completing an editorial internship at Arch+.

In the knowledge that critical reflection and mediation of the social significance of architecture and cities is essential for a nuanced approach to building culture, the charitable Sto Foundation has teamed up with the Arch+ Association to create a scholarship programme.

The scholarship holders will be posting regular updates about their experiences at www.sto-stiftung.de.

Linda Lackner was born in 1989. She studied architecture [B.Sc.] at the Vienna University of Technology and will be studying for an MA at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from October 2015. She applied for an internship because she sees and presents architecture as more than just a building – for her, it is the result of socio-economic reality and must be discussed in terms of its impact on society.

Anna Luise Schubert was born in 1993. She is studying architecture at the Bauhaus University in Weimar and spent a semester at Virginia Tech in Washington DC in 2013. Since 2009, she has been working for the architect Oda Pälmke in Berlin on a regular basis. She holds a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German National Academic Foundation). Her training up to now has focused on design, and she has always felt that her work is enriched by drawing on theoretical principles. She hopes to study these principles in more detail in the future.

Anastasia Svirski was born in 1987 in Moscow, and studied architecture at HCU Hamburg and the Bauhaus University in Weimar. She has also completed semesters abroad at the Graz University of Technology in Austria and the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem, Israel. In 2014, she completed her degree with a dissertation on spaces for thinking and remembering. She is looking forward to learning about editorial processes, refining her academic work methods, and writing her own articles.
