I don't have any architectural experience, which is why I'm only looking for an internship. I feel like this would be one of the best ways for me to get experience and set me on the path to becoming an architect. I have experience with 3D designing through Tinkercad, an ability to create large things at a small scale, like when I helped make a LEGO Harry Potter exhibit at the Wenham Museum, and I've even drawn a few planimetric diagrams for a plot of land.: Below, I have a picture of a birthday gift box that I designed from scratch as a present to my cousin on Tinkercad that I printed out in a Prusa Mini Printer.
Here's a link to the Wenham Museum's Facebook post about the Harry Potter exhibit. While the pictures were posted back in 2019, the exhibit gets put back up for a week annually every February as part of the Harry Potter events that happen then.
Habitats for Humanity is a local organization committed to providing affordable housing in areas around Essex County. I volunteered with them over the summer of 2023. Below is a picture of me working on a house in Hamilton, clearly having no idea what I'm doing, but having fun regardless. As I said before, I've also organized this volunteering opportunity for kids at my school during the school year, as a way to spend a Saturday doing something that's not only fun but makes an impact. It was a big success, where nine of us helped build the roof of one of the houses. You can see the pictures of me working during the summer and all nine of us in October below.Â
My summers have been incredibly busy, but hopefully, in the coming summers, I'll be able to intern at an architecture company. I've already applied to several places, but sadly, no dice. However, I do have some connections for a possible internship next year, but that might not work, and if it doesn't, I would love to work somewhere else. If you have any contacts or are looking for an intern yourself, my resume is attached below.
One of my favorite programs for architecture and interior design is Planner 5D. You can use the link below to see one of my most detailed designs. It may take a minute to load all of the entities depending on your PC's horsepower. I used the premium version of Planner 5D, but the normal version is also great for smaller-scale projects. It has limited items and features, but it's an awesome way to visualize any interior design ideas you have.
