Depending on your interests, academic background, and the roles available with our host companies, you may be placed across several architectural disciplines during your internship with Atlas Internships.
Typical focus areas include:
- Industrial Architecture
Design and development of buildings that support production and logistics, such as plants, refineries, warehouses, and breweries. Interns see how functional requirements, safety, and efficiency shape large-scale industrial facilities. - Landscape Architecture
Planning and shaping outdoor environments, parks, and public realms. You will explore how ecology, soil, water, and human behaviour inform the design of plazas, green corridors, and landmarks to achieve environmental, aesthetic, and social goals. - Residential Architecture
Conceptualising and detailing housing projects, from single-family homes to multi-unit residences. Interns gain experience in space planning, façade design, and livability considerations for everyday environments.
As with most professions, a long-term career in architecture relies on dedicated study combined with real-world practice and experience overall.
Throughout your architecture internship in Asia, you will build substantial professional hands-on experience, while simultaneously exploring the architectural history of the specific country or city where you are living abroad.
You may also be intrigued to learn that Asian architecture is regarded as among the most distinctive in the world.
An architecture internship will provide you with opportunities to apply many of the concepts learned in school, and to become familiar with the scope of work typically encountered within a professional architectural practice environment.
When it comes to securing employment, architecture internship experience on your resume signals to employers in the industry that you are a motivated individual who is prepared to step outside and pursue professional challenges beyond what you have learned while in school.
This ultimately makes it easier for you to secure a rewarding job in the industry whenever you need.
Overall, an architecture internship will not only help you get your foot in the door of the industry, but will also provide you with the opportunity to build crucial professional contacts and place you on a path toward significant achievements and recognition throughout the architectural field.
The abilities architects bring to the table, particularly those with solid experience, are in strong demand across the globe. As civilization advances and societies grow, new cities, public spaces, and buildings constantly need to be planned and constructed.
More and more, governments and individuals are recognizing the positive impact thoughtful architecture has, and the importance of working with seasoned professionals when it comes to planning and delivering major structures, landmarks, and sustainable environments.
Today, talented and knowledgeable architects are highly sought after by architectural practices of all sizes around the world.
Because this expertise is so valuable, you, as an emerging or early–career architect, must be proactive in building your knowledge and practical experience. One of the most effective ways to do this is by interning with established, well-known architecture firms.
Through Atlas’ Architecture Internship Program, you can be placed with one of these leading companies for a set period of time, allowing you to start gaining the real-world experience you need to succeed.
In many professional circles, good architecture, which of course goes beyond the appearance of a building or space, is regarded as a contributor to economic development.
This is because fundamentally, it takes into account how healthy and sustainable a built environment is, and how efficiently it performs when put to test against several important criteria.
Positive urban landscapes and sustainable environments (in other words, healthy cities) have so far been identified as economic drivers. And rightly so because such cities continually create and improve the physical and social environments, while strengthening the community resources that enable people to provide mutual support to each other in carrying out their life’s functions and achieving their maximum potential.
For an architecture project to be sustainable however, the architect has to be part of a larger team committed to sustainable goals - a larger team that typically includes the government of a city which is responsible for implementing policies and encouraging certain types of development.
In other words, sustainable design is usually the result of synergy between architects, property developers, politicians, and even the public in general.
To drive economic growth therefore, any given architectural project must address social and economic contexts, provide an environment that attracts and inspires, and make economic sense.
Since well-thought-out and well-designed buildings/urban environments help to build human, financial and environmental capital, architecture can be regarded as a notable contributor to economic development.
