Join Hawkins\Brown for an Epic 1-Day Adventure in Architecture!

Are you intrigued by the built environment around you and curious about a career in architecture and design? If yes, our insight day at Hawkins\Brown is the perfect opportunity for you. We would like to invite you into our Manchester studio, where you can experience life in a bustling architecture practice.

 

Who are we?

We're not just architects; we're designers, researchers, collaborators, makers, negotiators, artists, visualisers, and problem solvers. Basically, we're a bunch of creative nerds, and we want to share our world with you!

 

What to expect:

  • Interactive workshops: Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge design tools and techniques.
  • Meet the experts: Chat with our talented architects and learn about their career journeys.
  • Behind-the-scenes tour: Explore our innovative studio and see where the magic happens.
  • Career advice: Understanding the different routes into studying architecture.


Why join us?

Whether you're a budding creative, a big picture problem solver, a number cruncher, or a tech-obsessed computer whiz, there's a place for everyone in architecture. You'll come away with a better understanding of what a career within the built environment looks, whether it's in architectural practice or the wider construction industry.

When applying, answer the following questions

  • What interests you about architecture? Is there a particular space, building or architectural project that you like?
  • What would you like to learn/achieve out of the week with Hawkins\Brown, and how will this benefit your future?
  • If you were given £100,000, what would you create (doesn’t have to be architectural related)?
