Job Description
Henning Larsen is an international design studio with strong Nordic roots, where curiosity and Design with Knowledge are our main principles. Are you a student interested in joining our mission to create more sustainable build environments and explore contemporary technologies? We are looking for interns to join our global design community and within our sustainability and computation department. As our new  intern you will be part of a dynamic and multidisciplinary group of architects, engineers, PhDs and computational designers working on shaping experiences of human interaction through advanced digital methodologies. It is our ambition to pioneer sustainable change through our work. Our projects and solutions aim to inspire, innovate, and set not just best practice, but next practice. You will join a global company that has been growing successfully since its founding in 1959.

About the internship

Joining our Copenhagen office, you will be part of a company working with international projects of all scales and sizes. We offer intern positions for 6-12 months, with the opportunity for extension. The candidates must be students during the time of the internship. The goal is for you to develop competencies within a variety of fields and be able to work independently with site analysis and in depth understanding of how we design with knowledge. Start date: August 2023. The internship is paid.

What are we looking for?

For the fall semester, we are looking for interns with a passion for developing tools, methodologies, and solutions for a more sustainably holistic design. The ideal candidate has an architectural or engineering background and has advanced analytical, communicational, and graphic skills. More specifically we are looking interns to work on the below focus areas:

•  Circular economy and carbon reduction: We are constantly developing tools and methodologies to inform our design proposals and help us innovate in the selection of materials and overall design scenarios. Familiarity with LCA tools and methodologies is a plus.

•  Microclimate and Simulations: From Scandinavia to the Middle East, microclimate design is one of Henning Larsen’s core competencies. We have an advanced workflow to simulate the microclimatic conditions and understand how to define orientation, height, and density of buildings. Familiarity with CFD, daylight and/or UTCI simulations is a plus.

•  Computational/generative design and data analysis: We are constantly exploring emerging technologies and implement them in our practice. Through research or client projects, we develop scripts to optimize building envelopes, to automate mundane processes and create interfaces to communicate data. Familiarity with python, C# and/or game engines is a plus.

Skills in Rhino and Grasshopper are essential for all the above categories, as well as proficiency in English. Danish is a plus.

How do you apply?

Submit your application, portfolio (max 10 MB) and CV before 23 April 2023. Please note that interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis.
