Prakikumsangebot in Südafrika

Habe gerade Nachricht von einem Bekannten aus Kapstadt bekommen, der eine Praktikumsstelle für Studierende der Architektur im Frühjahr/Sommer für ein halbes Jahr zu vergeben hat. Etwas kurzfristig, aber vielleicht hat ja jemand Interesse?

> Environmentally conscious architecure intern wanted for Passive and Low
> Energy Building Design Consultancy. I provide consulting services to
> Architect Studios designing low environmental impact buildings. I
> require an intern to carry out some of my production work
> (demonstrating strategies through diagrams, sketches, drawings -
> compiling reports - performing simulations on Ecotect, EnergyPlus, TAS -
> researching thermal properties and environmental impacts of construction
> materials and building system - maybe even developing a website if you
> are interested) I have a range of projects from environmental centres
> in poorer communities, residential, some advice in energy planning at
> urban design and planning scale, conventional construction, strawbale,
> cob/adobe, rammed earth, sand bag, adobe etc etc. All very interesting,
> some bizarre.

> My office is in the city centre of Cape Town. I will help with finding
> accomodation, settling in Cape Town, showing you around, the places to
> go to, the places not to go to, how to get around etc, how to use the
> simulation software. There is a possibility that you might spend some
> time in one of the architecture studios that I work with, but this will
> be confirmed later and depends on work load and if you are interested in
> that. Unless you have a working visa I am not allowed to pay you a
> salary, but I will consider assisting with living expenses. We can look
> at flexible working hours for beach time on days with good weather (15
> mintues from the city centre) and long weekends for travelling as long
> as deadlines are being met.

> You need to be able to work with minimal supervision and have pride in
> the work you produce. Having your own laptop is essential as well as
> experience in any packages like coreldraw, photoshop etc. You will not
> be doing much cad work for me and very little detailing but we will be
> providing advice with regards to certain details. A previous project in
> the environmental building area would be an advantage but otherwise a
> keen interest is sufficient. English skills - as long as you can express
> yourself verbally in English and understand quite a bit the rest will
> improve with the work. Written English skills do not have to be that
> good.

> Warning! I am an engineer, but have lived in South Africa, England,
> Sweden and Chile and am pretty open minded and all the architects I work
> with seem to like me and enjoy the work and reports I produce, so I
> can't be that boring. I will also be lecturing at the school of
> architecture at the University of Cape Town this semester so I could
> help with putting you in contact with anyone there for any reason you
> can think off.

> Please send a short cv, a paragraph motivating why you would like to
> come to SA and some examples of work you have done.
