The Internship Placement Process

Architecture/Interior Design

Architecture is the imaginative blend of art and science in the design of environments for people. Problem-solving, decision-making, team leadership and creativity are key architecture and interior design internships for high school studentselements in making architecture and lead to the tremendous excitement that comes from seeing a design idea become a physical reality. Most architects do not construct the buildings they design; that is usually done by construction firms. However, smaller projects such as houses are often built by the architect who designs them. Architects also develop projects on their own or in conjunction with financial advisors, real-estate developers or others. They may also teach, research, or consult. Architecture interns could work with architects or design professionals that design, draw, build scale models, write, supervise or manage.

 
Interior Design draws upon many disciplines including architecture, product design, and traditional decoration.  An interior designer is responsible for both decoration and functionality of a client’s space. Spaces can be commercial, industrial, or residential and may include retail boutiques, corporate spaces, hotels, private residences, restaurants, and more. Interior designers work with textiles, fabrics, paints, furniture, and art to create a space to achieve the clients’ goal, whether it is calm, bold, energetic or sophisticated. As a Discovery interior design intern you could  work closely with architects and their clients to distinguish how the interior of a structure or room will look, feel, and function.

I recognize that the industry software skills I gained at my architecture firm internship will allow me to find a job in nearly any aspect of an architectural firm. One of my goals, which I achieved, was to learn AutoCad drafting software.
