TAKES // Episode 5: Internships! Are they really worth it?
In this episode of TAKES w/ ARGUS, we unpack internships from a student perspective. What is it actually like to move from studio into practice, and what do those first experiences reveal about the profession?
Through shared stories from offices like MVRDV, Sou Fujimoto Architects, Kengo Kuma & Associates, Du Besset–Lyon Architects, and Meydan Architecture, we reflect on expectations vs. reality, navigating hierarchy and workplace culture, and dealing with pressure and long hours.
Rather than asking if internships are simply “worth it,” this episode explores what they teach us and how they begin to shape our understanding of architecture.
Participants: Tim Schmidt, Anisa Mini, Öykü Maya Erkan
Podcast Team: Enrica Agus Klümper (moderator), Matthias Hellriegel (audio & video editing), Samanta Turovska & Anjaly Teresa Joseph (graphic design)
