Employment

Work on a MITACS grant for Patkau Architects overseen by AnnaLisa Meyboom. The grant proposes to look at innovation in materials and assembly which are afforded by our new design and fabrication technology so that Patkau architects can take this material innovation and move it to a conceived and completed project.

This research will extend twenty+ years of design investigation conducted at Patkau Architects. Its purpose will be to synthesize recent furniture-scaled projects in stressed skin and bent sheet material constructions in order to do two things by the end of the internship:

1. Produce a prototype small-scale project that synthesizes lessons learned from preceding projects.

2. Formalize a larger scaled long-term research proposal, based on the gathered and synthesized knowledge, that endeavors to define a full-scale architectural technique or process that extends the formal and structural vocabulary of contemporary wood design and construction.

OVERVIEW OF DUTIES
The student will be in direct interaction with the Design Lab Director, Pete Wenger, and the President and Design Lead of the company, John Patkau. Because this work is inherently exploratory and the methodologies are anti-formulaic, specific activities can range widely and resist detailed description. Additionally, our course of action will depend to some extent on the student’s particular aptitude. That said, the student can expect to be involved in any or all of the following:

1. Physical making with paper, wood and other materials.

2. Digital studies, including 3D modeling, scripting, rendering.

3. Drafting for shop-drawings and manufacture.

4. Presentation drawing and image making.

5. Interaction with professional fabrication facilities.The intern will have a desk and access to Patkau’s in-house workshop. Any software, physical materials, or tools required for the work will be provided by Patkau Architects, with the exception of any large-scale CNC tech that may be provided by the school. The intern will be exposed to a wide range of expertise including digital tools, physical making techniques and, most importantly, an intense, experimental creative process that is not often found in the professional world.

QUALIFICATIONS 
Current MArch student with excellent design skills as well as excellent oral and verbal communications, problem solving, critical thinking, numeracy, and design synthesis skills. Excellent skills in digital design including Rhino and Grasshopper. Demonstrated experience with digital fabrication.
