KAEGH ALLEN portfolio sample
Madame, Monsieur A l’issu de ma troisième année d’études, qui représentera la fin d’un premier cycle d’apprentissage, je souhaiterais vivement effectuer un stage de six mois ou plus dans votre agence. Mes études à l’Université d’Oxford Brookes en Angleterre m’ont permis d’intégrer une approche créative et multiculturelle de l’architecture. Ayant eu l’opportunité de visiter différentes villes, parmi lesquelles Tokyo, Barcelone, Berlin, et les iles retirées d’Acores au Portugal, je pense avoir pu me construire un répertoire varié de traditions architecturales. Ces échanges culturels m’ont permis d’apprehender l’importance de la justesse et de la sensibilité du geste architectural, en terme de design et de conscience environnementale. La scène incandescente de l’architecture parisienne, et l’héritage notable en terme d’urbanisme et de design m’attirent tout autant que la culture générale et la langue française. Ainsi, poursuivre ma formation dans cette ville remarquable prendrait tout son sens, particulièrement au sein de votre agence. Je souhaiterais vraiment pouvoir suivre votre démarche de plus près et m’investir dans un de vos projets. Veuillez trouver ci-joint mon CV et un extrait de mon portfolio, en espérant recevoir un écho positif de votre part. Je vous prie d’agréer l’expression de mes sincères salutations.
