WRNS Studio is called “studio” for a reason: through open, in-house critiques and roving tutors, we engage in an ongoing critical discussion about how the firm’s buildings can most powerfully evoke place, while avoiding the trivializing effects of mimicry. The result is twofold: a vigorous culture of education, linking the academy and practice; and a distinguished portfolio of buildings spanning a broad range of programmatic type, fundamentally rooted in mission, place, time, culture and human aspiration.

We believe in challenging, teaching, researching and growing in all aspects of our work. We are seeking interns who are curious, engaged and proactive (and will even teach us a thing or two). It is our belief that the best education WRNS can offer you is to treat you as a young professional — a staff member — so that you can learn about the integrated process of design and construction through real projects, in real time. We will assign work based on your skillset and specific project needs, as we would with any staff member, and will do our best to accommodate any specific goals you have for your time with us.

2025 Internship Research Project

To ensure a truly rich, diverse experience, our internships include educational activities that will support the work you do in the studio. These activities will broaden your exposure to many aspects of the profession and arm you with skills you will need throughout your professional career as an architect:

• Research Presentation

  Over the course of your internship, you will be asked to conduct research on a topic themed around a particular issue chosen by the office. You will collaborate with staff members to define and refine your research focus. At the end of your internship, you will give a short presentation to the studio sharing your findings. This will mirror similar presentations given by staff at our many culture events (SkillSHARE, Field Study Presentations, WRNS U and more).

• Mentorship and Career Development

  You will be provided with a dedicated mentor that will make themselves available to you throughout the summer. You will also be integrated into a project team and work directly with team members on a daily basis.

• Educational Opportunities

  We do our best to provide events and activities throughout the summer to enhance your experience, through site visits, round table discussions, walking tours, etc., designed to get you out of the office and into the cities in which we work.

• Internship Recap and Assessment

  At the completion of your internship you will meet with a staff advocate and the internship group to provide an opportunity for you to share our experience and benefit from a candid conversation of our experience with you.
