How to participate
The participant will be chosen through an architectural competition on a theme of their choosing during the last years of their university studies (third year of bachelor studies or later) or during the first year after graduation. The winner of the 2020 competition will be awarded an internship at David Chipperfield Architects in London and provided with airfare and pocket money for the stay.

The dates of the internship are arranged individually depending on the schedules of the applicant and the studio.
