This was our competition entry into Barcelona 2011 - Tower in Gothic Quarter, an international architecture competition, which we managed to freaking win!
Prizes include $3500USD and a ticket to Barcelona in June with accommodation to accept our award.
This started out as a university design project, and our coordinator thought it'd be a good way of showing us the ropes when it came to competitions. We had a month to do it and then the top four were submitted into the real competition with registration fees paid for. I worked on this with my friend.
Design requirements called for a 100m tall contemporary bohemian backpacker's hostel in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, to accommodate 100 backpackers, and demonstrate zero-ecological impact. It also had very strict area requirements that we had to show compliance with.
`ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More

I'm glad you won it - congrats!!
How does it work structurally??
Good question! We were recently nominated for a structural innovation prize (winner is yet to be announced) and we had to prepare a structural report, so it's all fresh in my mind
By "details", do you mean of this project? Or competitions in general? ^^
Well laid out board too! Great use of the ground section to frame the more informative parts of the concept. Beautiful renders too
