NBRS Student Partnership – Applications Now Open!

NBRSARCHITECTURE Student Partnership is an annual program with some of the most creative young minds in the design industry.

This unique intern partnership encourages students to investigate collaboratively and provides an opportunity to experiment through the interplay of research and design. The program also provides students with insight into the architectural design and documentation process, to help form an appreciation for graduate responsibilities within the office environment.

A studio project is completed over the duration of the program, involving intensive research followed by design experimentation, culminating in the production and presentation of a formal publication. Students have the opportunity to engage with user groups and key members of relevant industries throughout the program to inform their designs.

What have previous students said about the program?

“A great intensive design research program! An innovative way to introduce students to the dynamics of the architecture industry – from forming an informed and pragmatic way to approach design to presenting ideas to clients and colleagues.”

“I feel like I’m taking away a lot of great things from this experience, like better design skills, and a strengthened ability to collaborate and coordinate well in group work. It has really given me a lot to think about and incorporate into future designs.”

Where can I access the publications from previous programs?

All NBRS Student Partnership publications can be accessed here.
