Hey future architects, designers, and creators! 🌟 Are you ready to dive into the world of architecture and design? We're Hawkins\Brown, and we want YOU to join us for an engaging 5-day work experience programme!


Who Are We?

We're not just architects; we're designers, researchers, collaborators, makers, negotiators, artists, visualisers, and problem solvers. Basically, we're a bunch of creative nerds, and we want to share our world with you!

 

About The Week

Each day, you'll explore a different theme and work towards delivering a design project

  • Briefing: Learn how to kickstart awesome projects.
  • Architectural Drawing: Get hands-on with sketching and designing.
  • Sustainability: Discover how we make eco-friendly choices.
  • Materials and Volume: Dive into the world of building materials and scale through model making.
  • Communicating: Listen to our in-house experts and share and present your own ideas and designs

 

Why Join Us?

Whether you're a budding creative, a big picture problem solver, a number cruncher, or a tech-obsessed computer whiz, there's a place for everyone in architecture. You'll come away with a bunch of transferable skills that will help you in your future career, whether it's in architectural practice or the wider construction industry.

 

When applying, answer the following questions

  • What interests you about architecture or the wider built environment? Any particular building/architectural project that you like?
  • What would you like to learn/achieve out of the week with Hawkins\Brown, and how will this benefit your future?
  • If you were given £100,000, what would you create (doesn’t have to be architectural related)?
