From University to Major Construction Site

The ARD program “alpha Uni” aims to provide university graduates with guidance in choosing a career and authentic insights into studying and working.

From University to Architecture Firm — the ARD format “alpha Uni” offers honest and direct perspectives from those who know best: students and young professionals.

The episode “Starting a Job in Architecture” has now been released as part of this series. Our colleague Assunta was followed for two days during her work in our office and on the construction site, sharing her experiences and being interviewed about her job.

Assunta studied architecture in Graz and Munich and has been working in our office since 2023. Her current project is the conversion and new construction of the Helen Keller Secondary School in Munich. The project has been ongoing for five years, with construction underway for two. Assunta is responsible for approving the plans for the new south façade of the existing building before construction can begin — an exciting milestone, as this is her first time doing so!

Many thanks to Anna Kemmer and Jonas Schlögl, who accompanied Assunta during the two days, and to the entire BR team for creating and producing this wonderful report.
