VA is a practice located in Basel, active internationally. VA involves architects, editors and makers. VA’s work encompasses architecture, interiors, object design, scenography, and projects within the art, cultural, and commercial sectors. Its current focus is reuse, a methodology that confronts us with the paradoxes of the present day: sustainability challenging growth, craftsmanship versus mass production, local availability vis-à-vis design ambitions. VA is run by Fabrizia Vecchione and Luiz Albisser with the participation of various authors.
For our office, we are looking for a Trainee (100%), starting immediately or by agreement.
We offer a six-month traineeship within an international and interdisciplinary environment, with the opportunity to contribute to projects across architecture, interiors, object design and scenography.
A particular focus of the traineeship will be on the development and production of architectural models.
Requirements:
- Completed or advanced studies in architecture, interior architecture, design or a related field
- Experience in architectural model making and physical production
- Good knowledge of CAD software
- An interest in photo and video documentation is a plus
- Independent and precise working approach
- Very good English; German is an advantage
- Six-month position with the possibility of extension for a total duration of one year
