Summer 2026 Landscape Architecture Intern

About RIOS

RIOS is an international design collective actively in pursuit of wonder within the design of the built environment. We believe design is an act of optimism through which invention and ideas change the world. We practice interconnected design across architecture, placemaking, and landscape architecture to define design as a continuum.

Our process begins with attunement, where program and context shape strong conceptual thinking to establish a holistically informed big idea. Through this, we develop form, confirm function, and define experience as the basis for exploring ecology, material, and tectonic expression. RIOS is known for its bold solutions that are inclusive of wider contexts, ever mindful that an interdisciplinary approach brings about inclusive, resilient, and original solutions, ensuring diversity and resilience.
