Sasaki interns get hands-on experience, develop valuable professional connections, and gain a deep understanding of how a leading firm operates and innovates. The interns will all be a part of project teams delivering real-world solutions and tangible productions. Specific information and project examples for architecture can be found at Sasaki.com. Interns will work on current Sasaki projects alongside our architects, landscape architects, interior designers, planners, urban designers, strategists, civil engineers, and graphic designers.
