JEEVAN KUMAR

Architect

Greetings, I am Jeevan Kumar Balasubramanian, and I am excited to apply for the Architect Internship position at Norman Foster. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Anna University in India and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design at Politecnico di Milano. During my fourth semester of Master’s studies, I participated in the Erasmus Program at Warsaw University of Technology, which provided me with valuable practical experience in the field of architecture and computational design. The program exposed me to diverse cultures, different architectural styles, and innovative design methodologies, which I have since applied in my projects.

I have worked on various projects throughout my academic journey, including retail centers, luxury hotels, gated communities, schools, museums, and others. However, my Bachelor thesis project was the most challenging and significant undertaking to date, requiring construction of a massive structure surrounded by a river, canal, and lake. This project taught me valuable skills in project management, problem-solving, and teamwork. As a Junior Architect, I gained further professional experience during my internship, working on several large-scale projects and playing a key role in various stages of the design process.

Although the Covid-19 pandemic shifted my work to an online format, I took on additional responsibilities, including site supervision and project implementation, while maintaining a high standard of design quality. My master’s degree projects have expanded my knowledge of sustainable technology and landscape design, and interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds has allowed me to gain insight into different design processes and methodologies.

I am a continuous learner, always striving to acquire new skills and techniques. I have taught myself Rhino 3D and become proficient in it. Whenever I see a structure that intrigues me, I attempt to reproduce it in Rhino 3D to gain a better understanding of its architecture. I even teach Rhino 3D and Grasshopper through YouTube videos and use Grasshopper for research on iterations, aggregation, and the optimization process, which I then attempt to implement sustainably. These experiences have enhanced my concentration, organizational and creative abilities, and teamwork skills, making me confident that my computer and organizational skills and problem-solving tactics will contribute to the success of your design team.

I am eager to explore the potential of an Architect Internship with your organization, assume new responsibilities, and contribute to your various projects. Thank you for considering my application.

Regards
